Paper is two-dimensional.
- d0mine 2y agobook is 3D
- HappMacDonald 2y agoTrilogy is 4Dnine nineDnine depending where you pick it up
- coldtea 2y agoSo? You can write arrays of whatever dimensions on paper, it's a matter of notation, not of the substrate.
- noduerme 2y agoThis is the right answer. I was just saying that pretty much no one ever did it (that I'm aware of) before a machine came along to read and write that notation. I might be wrong. I'd love to see an example of 3+d arrays written as musical notation or something from the 16th Century.
