Reading in Flaty

Ideas about how a world with more than three spatial dimensions would work - what laws of physics would be needed, how things would be built, how people would do things and so on.

Reading in Flaty

U know how pages in 3-d is kinda 2-d like, well imagine reading books in the 2-d, it would be like line after line after line after line. . . . . :(

how would you read, everything would be exactly the same :cry:

I dont really expect a good answer to a not so good question

it was just a thought though :)

By "formats", I think he meant solutions, or possibilties. I like the color coding idea though. One word could be a strip of red, yellow and green, followed by another that's just orange. Every page would be a rainbow of colors! :P
