A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

If simulation is possible, we could upgrade reality to 4D (sh.itjust.works)

If we knew how to create world simulation, and how to make it working 4D, then humans would be able to plug themselves in, and experience 4D space. Alternatively there could simulated 4D beings, whose sentience could be transferred to robot body in our real 3D space.

What exactly are you defining the 4th dimension as...?

Another space dimension, which has same relation to our three X Y Z dimensions, as third dimension Z relation to X Y.

For clarity the word is perpendicularity. A 4th spatial dimension would have to be perpendicular to all 3 other spatial dimensions.

Ah I understand you now, I was confused about you not specifying space when referring to 4D, mb.
