09 23 03 Images of traces of higher space in 3d spaces. Henderson's book
The Fourth Dimension and Non-Euclidean Geometry in Modern Art is very interesting.
Two comments: these early researchers never really finished their task, and
the unfinished task itself has almost been forgotten. Of course being about one
century old, it is not new and cannot be interesting anymore to anyone. While some
are still trying to understand cubism and the fourth dimension, others are now
proposing a universe in 4 plus 6-7 folded dimensions.  Ten years ago, this image was evoking x^n+y^n==z^n, but now it is about space
configuration in certain strings theories. The relationships of these spaces with ours
is becoming an increasingly important preoccupation.
