"The Director of this battle seems to have a liking to non-euclidean space. Such space is a curious thing. On a small scale, ordinary beings are completely trapped when dealing with such factors. However I do not believe this system will hold us completely- the more complicated a system, the more likely complicated approaches will find a loophole."
"Makes sense I suppose," Aeon replied "But it's a little over my head. Had you told me two days ago there was a fourth dimension, I would've just laughed it off. And now we're dealing with... whatever the hell this is."
"Keep in mind we are still in the domain of a humanoid mind, thus far he has followed largely humanoid themes in his actions. I suspect this realm also follows some sort of 'theme.' Are you at least familiar with something that might follow the idea of a paper world in which dimensions are 'faked' like this?"
"Well, I guess it's kinda like a pop-up book, if you stretch logic a bit."
Amethyst contemplated for a moment.
"My previous assessment based on the cube field had been a retro videogame theme, however pop-up book may be a more accurate theory. If this is in fact a perfect map of the concept of a pop-up book into a 3D space..."

"We may be in the presence of the 4-dimensional matter I require in order to construct an escape."
