Actually... On further visualization the plasma seems to just form a 4D sphere that rotates and translates in 6 dimensions. The flatness of the 2 "missing" dimensions corresponds to the quality of the focus and synchronization of the system, so they are not going to ever be completely missing. The focus is like what you'd get if you were looking at slices of a solid ball. You'd see a point grow into a large circle, then shrink again to a point. It's basically the view on the left side of the simulation on my website. The right side of the simulation video shows a different cross section. The x axis there is the one dimension of the 4D sphere that stays in 3 space.
