Hey Gobo, tell me, exactly how do inner four cells of this tesseract become the outer, its too busy for me to process. I like the simpler ones better, but I wanted to figure out how these things move and could only find ones like this

Actually, that's not an animation of a tesseract with time as the fourth dimension, it's an animation of a tesseract rotating through a fourth spatial dimension over time.
The planes that make up the 'walls' of the cubes are passing 'behind' each other in the fourth dimension as the tesseract rotates through the fourth dimension, analogous to how the lines that make up the 'walls' of the squares pass 'behind' each other in the third dimension as this cube rotates through the third dimension:
The book 'Flatland' is probably the best intuitive guide you can get to how four-dimensional geometry works.

Trust me, its second nature understanding these things, the math always seemed unnecessary. What, there's 8 cells dilating up to their largest point, then dilating again on a negative scale and rotating back on itself from a central origin while remaining, each cell at a fixed size ratio with other cells? Something like that. I've seen it all before, so I get the basic concept. I just was curious. You pointing out the thing with the panels helped. In the business of the image, I kept looking to the singal segments for whatever reason

Is that how I worded it? as an animation with time as the fourth dimmension? Sry, words have never been my strong suit, just know, that I know what you mean.
