To be honest, I have no clue. I find 3D often already hard enough to handle,
that I fear 4D is out of my league. So instead your question triggered me to go
down one dimension and so I started wondering if there are impossible 2D shapes
that can be drawn as illusions in 1D. Nothing fruitful came out of that exercise
though... ;-)
