Moorglade

When speaking of 5 space, do we need to say which five d's we mean? Could we speak of 2d in space and 3d in time = 5d in spacetime?

Or do we need to speak of mapping, as in mapping a 3d object onto a 2d surface? Can a 5d object be mapped onto one or more 3d spaces, as a 3d building is shown in 2d as plan, face, and side views?

Just thinking.

Thanks for being here,

Richard
