I like the idea with emotion as 4th dimension. Everyone makes use of it (more or less unintentionally) at different occasions and is triggered by different characteristics. Drugs or an esoteric weekend probably help for a few more dimensions.

Miles last album, Aura, contains only tracks named after colors, including Orange.
Didnāt remember that.
Iād at least know how to play black, white, yellow, blue and red (not classical 
. If orange is meant between red and yellow, itās too much nuance for me.
I should better say I could imagine how to play those colorsā¦not practically play it for the most part unfortunately.
Please elaborate what makes this a piece of crap? I think the subject is interestingā¦
What? I looked at his profileā¦
Did you ?
You beat me to it.
See, nothing prevents discussing this topic in the context of music - 4d+ is much more fun with music playing.
For those that think this is a silly topicā¦ let me throw out an incendiary thoughtā¦
I suspect Arenith is fishing for those of us that think an emotional experience is of a spiritual or metaphysical nature. For meā¦ I think attributing things like powerful emotions or simply just the unexplained to spirituality or meta-physicality is just bunk. Crap. I do not need to ameliorate my cognitive dissonances with bunk.
However, there are amazing gaps in human knowledge regarding how things workā¦ and human perception and consciousness are two of our biggest mysteries and it is possible, there are new discoveries waiting for science to uncover.
In the mean-timeā¦ I do love listening to music. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

All Iāll say about that is that age 66, I no longer believe spirituality or metaphysics are anything more than an individualās psychology.

Or it might be characterized by disconnection from reality, which results in strange behaviour often accompanied by perception of stimuli (images, sensations, electrical pulses, etc ) and possibly hallucinations.! If one is au fait with an individual then a judgement can be made by speaking, listening and studying behaviour patterns. Not knowing a person other than through email correspondence how does one know he isnāt merely entertaining someoneās psychosis.!

Speaking as an atheist - itās all in our heads, man!
Doesnāt make it less interesting, to (mis)quote a certain fictional wizard headmaster:
āJust because itās in your head, why should that make it any less real?ā
He also said chocolate helps heal injuries, which is something I can approve of

Let me say that I have bigger nets set, Iām searching for those mainly that understand that a 4-dimensional structure having been perceived would not imply any relation to spirituality or metaphysicality - itās just an experience. It can be described, though - I have wrote down some of the geometries Iāve perceived, not all as functions but certainly many many pictures that are very precise to wha was experienced at the time.
Exactly - does you looking at your index finger and seeing it seem like unreal to you?
''Or it might be"
āmightā
Thatās not a reason to not say somethingā¦
Raises oxytocin, so gotta believe in it. If you believe in love, believe in chocolate.
If the simulation is completely self-consistent, how can you tell and, more importantly, does it make any difference?

Absolutely not. Itās not like we could break out of it even if we could absolutely confirm weāre in a simulation. Better enjoy it.
?
Why should we presume that a simulation canāt affect the hardware that itās running on? As a simple example it seems plausible that by using gobs of resources in specific parts of the hardware the simulation could burn out piece(s) of hardware and hence modify the hardware running that simulationā¦ Certainly we have had software bugs (and viri) destroy parts of the computers they were running onā¦
