One nice way I know to plot any number of dimensions in 2D is to draw
the axes all parallel to each other, spaced a little bit apart. Then for
each object you plot its position on each axes and connect them all with
lines. Ideally each object would use a line with a unique color. For
example, you could plot airplanes moving in space and the air-traffic
controller just needs to make sure no two lines become identical. I
don’t think that technique will help with our puzzles but it is a clever
visualization of n-dimensions.
