If you take a horzontal 2d slice of a human being near the center of the
torso, you will get 3 objects: 2 almost circular objects for the arms and
one ovalish shape for the torso. So if a 2d world could coincide with a 3d
world, a 2d being on that plane would see 3 objects and could not imagine
that it could be one object.
If we step it all up one dimension, you could have a 3-dimensional slice
of 4-dimensional object that would seem to be more than one 3d object to
us 3-dimensional beings.
Is this theoretically correct? Or am I missing something?
