I have thought about 4d weaving and realized that wile in 3d we weave using strings in 4d since the strings could just fall off each other even when perpendicular to each other a 4d being would have to weave using sheets. Since there would be three different ways the sheets would point in any woven object in 4d would need to be three sheets thick unlike in 3d were any woven object is two strands thick so the number of sheets thick a woven object is is the number of dimensions minus one. So on any given point there would be one sheet on top, one sheet on the bottom, and one sheet in the middle with each sheet in some places being on top, and at others being in the middle, and at others on the bottom. One thing I wander tho is what the sheets that would be used to make woven objects would be made of since in 3d strings are sometimes made of plants as plants usually grow linear but then in 4d if plants grew linear then I wonder how tetronians would make the sheets necessary to weave something like a basket.
