Makes me think of potentially using sound as a way for humans to conceptualize higher dimensional spaces. I feel very bound to 3 dimensional visualizations frequently and often wish that conceptualizing that next step to even 4 dimensional spaces would be more 'obvious'. E.g. space time diagrams (even though I can't say that I'm good at evaluating movement in even one dimension of space and one dimension of time on a 2-d plot, I can't even comprehend trying to 'visualize' movement through three dimensions of space and one of time.) For some reason feels more possible in audio space.
