how do you define an object with more than three dimensions?

Answer 2

An object which has three dimensions is considered a geometrical volume of mass.
If the mass is moving it displaces equal volume of space. The force produced due the displacement is proportional to the densitiy of the volume containing the mass.
During the displacement a process has occurred. How fast this process has occured is defined by a quantity called time.
So displacement of a volume in space is related to time. One complete dispacement of the total volume is called one oscilation. The frequency of the oscilation is measured as a volume (object)displacement per unit time or cycles per seconds.
Therefore frequency would be an added dimension relative to the volume dimensions, in the description of motion.

Answer 3

Taking time as the 4 th dimension, any "object" which can be described by 3 space Ds and 1 time D is called an "EVENT".

for n dimensions it takes n values to point out an "object" hence we may (rationally) use existing names for objects of 3 dimensions and add "of n th order" as a surname to it. Like "sphere of 5th order" etc

"Point" needs no such suffix since "point" in n dimension is literally a point.

Answer 4

Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Nth Dimensional. Or are you asking how you can discuss it. The best way I have ever understood it is that an object makes an impression that is of the dimension lower. A 1D object (a line) wold make a non-dimensional impression (a point). A 2D object (square) makes the 1D line, a 3D object (cube) would leave an impression of a square and a 4D object would leave a cube impressed on space-time.

Answer 5

I would define it as an object that has more then three dimensions. I would have thought that was very easy to define as you defined it in your question.

Answer 6

Can you tell us a bit more of this ' object ' that you imagine when putting forth this question?
If your ' object ' is tangible and multi-faceted you can use math to define its shape, so it would depend on just ' how ' it has more than three dimensions.

Answer 7

Apprortiate descriptors for 1 to 4 D objects are linear, planar, volumetric, and hyper. For example, the 4-D analog of a sphere (a hypersurface equidistant from a point in 4-space) is a hypersphere; it's a hyperdimensional object.

Answer 8

In terms of its 3 dimensions.

Answer 9

In mathematics, you define it by manifold, it can be projected into as many dimension as you want to.

Answer 10

A database of vertices?
A relatively simple object might have a special name,
like "hypercube".
