in your mind?
No, no, no.
You just kind of get... So I was talking to somebody about this over here right before the second half of the show.
You develop an intuition by solving these problems
again, but I can't visualize any of this stuff, and I don't think anyone really, really
Oh no, you just get used to it.
It is interesting though.
It turns out that if you want to visualize things, you know, we think about things in higher dimensions by usually projecting onto three, right?
And usually when you see a picture of a hypercube, you'll see a two-dimensional picture of it because it's like a drawing, right?
So it turns out that when you drop a dimension by one, if you take a cube and you draw it in two dimensions, that is, you can do a full-faith rendering of that.
You don't lose any information.
But once you start projecting dimensions down by two or more, you start to lose information.
So you can prove that mathematically.
And so any drawing of a hypercube, a four-dimensional object in two dimensions, means you couldn't uniquely reconstruct the hypercube just from that drawing.
But you could uniquely reconstruct a three cube.
Thank you, but like I said, this just comes from experience of doing it again and again and again.
There's no...
Super genius code or something.
I just did it a lot and got used to it, and that's kind of how it is
