Supposed that you have a device that could shift an object’s position on the 4th diamension, or had a 4th dimensional friend that can do it casually who could help you do the same, would you survive the process?
Taking it down a notch, would a 2D being survive being manipulated by 3D movement i.e twisting, shifting, fliping, etc?
I would assume so, since in theory all you’re doing is moving where you are in space. It might be a problem if it’s only done partially over time though
The 4D force could very much be gravity. Move in one direction and you can fly. Move in the other, get crushed by your own weight.
