yeah, i too feel limited by our 3 spatial dimensions

It was so frustrating when I was studying mathematics, I feel like just one more dimension would make understanding lots of concepts much easier; for me there is simply not enough points to extrapolate from: 0D is the degenerate case, 1D is trivial, so only two, 2D and 3D, are left to play with. %(
color, fill, texture, shape - that gets you up to 7
doesn't work, those dimensions aren't bijections to the reals
It's up to the designer to deal with any physical limitations.

They could have added grid-lines to reveal this information, for example.
