#2Would love to see this where you can toggle between a three-sphere, flat, and 3-hyperbolic space.

#3I had a dream a year ago in which I was traveling at very high speed towards an edge of our universe. In the dream I entered a null space before entering the next universe in which all star systems obeyed solid state physics type laws: stars formed an outer lattice and planets in small lattices around stars.
After traveling through the second universe in my dream, I then entered a third universe that was more compact because space was curving back onto itself in a way that was not understandable but I kept looping back to where I was before. When I woke up I thought I was dreaming of a very high dimensional space where everything was happening in lower dimensional manifolds curving through that space where “all the action was.”
Definitely one of my better dreams!

#4Reminds me when I was trying to model a 3D space and my math was off.

#5reminds me of the demonstration of hyperbolic geometry in VR by Henry Segerman (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztsi0CLxmjw). there is a browser demo too where you can 'fly' through the small world (http://h3.hypernom.com/)

I feel like this would have to be true in a very high dimensional space, since an infinite dimensional orange is all skin.

This sounds really fun, could you try explaining a bit more about it?
Thanks for sharing.

#8This is cool!
I wonder why the viewport is only a 300px square.

#9I thought this might have been something about a Greg Egan book (https://www.gregegan.net/DICHRONAUTS/DICHRONAUTS.html is a recent one with space-time composed of two dimensions of space and two of time), but these demos are really fun too. Especially like the connectedness of everything that's not in some sense cheated with portals.

#10If you're interested in this, you may be interested in Hyperbolica, which is a whole game about this concept:
