I first encountered this problem solving technique of looking at the problem in higher dimension from lectures by tadashi tokieda(referenced in the video).
I highly recommend any video of him.
I dont rememer finding many examples, nor a reference to it from common problem solving techniques lists(terry tao, aosp? etc). I think it deserve it's place with a catchier name perhaps

- ithkuil 2y agoYou're either bantering in a higher dimension or you're talking past each other. Anyway, perhaps a more down to earth "thinking outside the hypercube"?
- jagged-chisel 2y agoMy reply indicates that that GP was instructed to think outside the plan rather than naming the thing “thinking outside the plane.” It’s a tongue-in-cheek critique of the lack of quotes around the phrase making ambiguous the intent of the parent to my post.
