A net usually only goes down one dimension, so a net of tesseract facets would exist in 4D. I guess you could consider a net down two dimensions, like drawing 12 line segment graph and calling it an edge-net of a cube, but you'd lose the face information. So a Penteract could have a cell-net in that way. Tom Ruen 01:57, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

I have an alternate 2-d projection of the penteract which can be seen here: Mathy Doodles Is it worth adding to the page? DenisMoskowitz 17:00, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry; I was kinda grasping the tesseract article, but this shit has got to be made up. --Soakologist 09:30, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

The math is easy enough, an E₅ vector space, but trying draw useful pictures does get pretty crazy. Tom Ruen 01:57, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. We may calculate it (and if we can calculate it and prove it, it's true), but visualizing it, let alone developing an intuition for it, is a task of epic proportions. Hell, the number of humans who can do that with the 4th dimension is slim at best; 5th dimension is simply asking for too much of 3 dimensional beings. I would like to see someone try to visualize the higher dimensions. Jaimeastorga2000 13:22, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
