As I noted in my original response, the answer should be "plain" to see.

Well put. Now ... borrowing that...

What is to the fourth dimension
as a point is to the first dimension,
as a line is to the second dimension and
as a plain is to the third dimension?

The answer is an affine linear subspace of codimension 1 a.k.a. a hyperplane.

This answer also works for all your other analogies in this pattern too.

This, I thought would be the 5th. but a funtion of time. Yes, time is
always one of the aditional dimensions of first, second, third, etc.
Let me hear some thoughts on this.

Fourth? I believe is a curved surface of thinckness zero.
