Escape from Flatland

What we can learn from the fourth dimension.

In 1884 Edwin Abbot wrote a book called “Flatland”. In the book the character “A Square” lives in a 2 dimensional world – only able to move in 2 directions, back and forth. More than a century later we find ourselves behaving more like “A Square” than we’d like. Moving restlessly back and forth in our perceived boundaries.

But shouldn’t we be consciously trying to break away from our traditional limits of thinking and action? What if we allowed ourselves to be freely influenced by a more four dimensional way of looking at things? Imagine the solutions that might present themselves if we looked past the limits of our preconceptions – beyond the obviously visible…

While we are all familiar with the three dimensions of free movement – what happens if we consider the fourth dimension as a new direction?

Fred, Bob and Emily can help us further understand the concept and context of a fourth dimension. Follow their story.

"We should make things as simple as possible, but not simpler" - Albert Einstein. Read the Article “To clarify. Add Detail” and see an application of four-dimensional thinking that shows how the information can be better represented beyond the obviously visible.
