4 dimensional... ahhhh...
Well, that makes sense.
Naturally, since I used a 3D modeler, It was so difficult to figure that out. I see now, why my computer started spewing up paradoxes and black holes.

Personaly, I just like the term idea of a "giant, stone Stone Giant toilet". For nobles.

Does the term geometry even apply to the 4th dimension? In the Euclidean sense, that is?

In the 4th dimension each of a cube's sides leads into another cube... So i guess geometry can still apply, it'd just look and act really weird.

no, geo[earth]metry[measuring] applies to flat surfaces. so it doesn't apply to 3 dimensions either.

yes. in fact despite all our posing, "Euclidean" model (with any number n of dimensions) is by far the most common one.

DF is just getting its third dimension. I think we might have to wait a bit longer for a realistic model of the dimensions above that.
