SECTION 21 How I tried to teach the Theory of Three Dimensions to my Grandson, and with what success
Grandson, whose casual remarks on the meaning of 3, 4, and even 5 dimensions had met with the approval of the Sphere? This idea was, at first, with enthusiasm; but I soon discovered that, while the theory was comprehensible enough, its application baffled me. Every attempt to demonstrate the concept of upward, not Northward, by analogies from the world of sight, totally failed; for in the realm of Flatland, the very idea of "upward" as opposed to "Northward" or any other "ward" was…-

In this segment of "Flatland," the Sphere introduces the narrator, a Square, to the concept of three-dimensional objects by illustrating how a solid figure, such as a cube, is formed through the stacking of squares, challenging the Square's perception limited by his two-dimensional experience. Despite the Sphere's efforts, the Square initially perceives the cube merely as a plane figure with irregular boundaries, highlighting the difficulty of comprehending dimensions beyond one's own perceptual…

How the Sphere, having in vain tried words, resorted to deeds. It was in vain. I brought my hardest right angle into violent collision with the Stranger, pressing on him with a force sufficient to have destroyed any ordinary Circle: but I could feel him slowly and unarrestably slipping from my contact; not edging to the right nor to the left, but moving somehow out of the world, and vanishing into nothing. Soon there was a blank. But still I heard the Intruder's voice. Sphere. Why will you refuse to…

SECTION 16 How the Stranger vainly endeavoured to reveal to me in words the mysteries of Spaceland
As soon as the sound of the Peace-cry of my departing Wife had died away, I began to approach the Stranger with the intention of taking a nearer view and of bidding him be seated: but his appearance struck me dumb and motionless with astonishment. Without the slightest symptoms of angularity he nevertheless varied every instant with graduations of size and brightness scarcely possible for any Figure within the scope of my experience. The thought flashed across me that I might have before me a burglar or…-

Thinking that it was time to bring down the Monarch from his raptures to the level of common sense, I determined to endeavour to open up to him some glimpses of the truth, that is to say of the nature of things in Flatland. So I began thus: "How does your Royal Highness distinguish the shapes and positions of his subjects? I for my part noticed by the sense of sight, before I entered your Kingdom, that some of your people are lines and others Points; and that some of the lines are larger --" "You speak of…
