It's geometry. You find the point in the center of the lower
dimension, and extend outward in a new direction. For 0 dimensions is
a point. You extend outward and form a line which is the first
dimension. From the center of the line you extend outward in a new
direction, and form an equilateral triangle which is the second
dimension. From the center of this triangle, you extend outward in a
new direction, and form an equilateral pyramid, which is the 3rd
dimension. Likewise, from the center of this pyramid, you extend
outward in a new direction and form an equilateral superpyramid which
is the 4th dimension. In the fourth dimension there is more space,
and just as the 2nd dimension imprisons and makes up the sides of the
3rd dimensional figure, the 3rd dimension imprisons and makes up the
sides of the 4 dimensional figure. So each [side of the] of the 5
sides of 4th dimensional equilateral superpyramid is an equilateral
pyramid. You can imagine that each side of the 3rd dimensional
equilateral pyramid had another 3-D equilateral pyramid stuck onto
it. The center pyramid forms the base of the 4th dimensional
superpyramid, and the point of each of the other 4 pyramids folds into
the fourth dimension in a new direction so that they meet in a point
immediately over, and which extends down to center of the base ...

There are many ways to conceive 4D: with a 4th space axis, with a time axis,
with 2 complex variables...
