BME: Body Modification Ezine

A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

    all that whole thing means up there is that each dimension (height, width etc) goes from points -1 to 1 when you graph it.

    but a tesserect is just any 4th dimensional cube. messy philosophical things those higher dimensions are.
