There is the cool idea of showing how different dimensions, in our situation where fully visualizing a fourth dimension is fundamentally impossible, could potentially look. Like, yes this is obviously not going to show us a fourth dimension but looking at how a 2D plane can actually be a 3D space if you have the capacity to see it is kinda neat. It’s as close as most people are going to get to visualizing a fourth dimension.
You’re so focused on how this isn’t a literal representation of something fundamentally impossible to represent that you forgot to exercise your imagination even a little bit.
There’s nothing to extrapolate here. The description is BS. There’s no such thing as ‘linear plane’ there’s a flat plane and curved plane (with positive and negative curvatures). There’s a thing called linear algebra but it’s not the same. Also planes are 2 dimensional spaces. When you have more dimensions name ‘plane’ doesn’t apply. If you extrapolate BS you’ll get even more BS
The description hurts my brain, it doesn’t make any sense to me at all, it just seems to be filled with irrelevant words that sound sciency to someone who doesn’t know what they mean. Like a bad sci fi script.
No. He shows how non euclidean (spherical) space translates to euclidean (flat) space. Description is bullshit.

What if I were to tell you you’re supposed to extrapolate the concept instead of taking it absolutely literally?

Isn’t the description dumbed down to fit thosoe of us with less than mathematician level brains? :-)
