Examples

“Our universe apparently has three spatial dimensions, so if it were donut shaped it would have⟳ to be a 3-torus, which is beyond my ability to visualize as its enclosed volume is some kind of hyperdonut in four dimensional space. But what the physical implications of the universe being a 3-donut, and can we look⟳ for them?”

“An eight-dimensional hyperdonut is complicated enough to let⟳ me hand-wave concerns for sensibility.”

“You’re unable to manage⟳ the mess of hyperdonuts and find⟳ yourself lost in hyperspace!”

“What does all this mean⟳ in practice? Well, we don’t expect⟳ our quantum processors to look⟳ like⟳ hyperdonuts.”
