If you're a long time reader of this blog, which features Philosophy Talk, then you'll likely be familiar with:
(a) hypertoons and
(b) 4D vs 4D vs 4D
The former has to do with computer animation, or actually any kind of moving picture, where the "playhead" is free to wander around amidst a network of scenarios, with seamless segues at keyframes.
The latter has to do with natural language, our awareness of "language games" within semantic space, either invented for investigatory purposes, or teased out of ordinary language itself. Wittgenstein. What language games involve "4D" as a meme?
These themes add together in our genre of science fiction, labeled Martian Math for marketing reasons, but not necessarily all that oriented towards Martian lore. ETs and science fiction more generally enter the picture, as we unfold our specific 4D mathematics.
