Hi Bill,  I have just been playing with a circle and and a hypocycoid, and 
imploding a circle:

load '~addons/graphics/fvj4/dwin.ijs'
do=: 13 :'({.y) +(i.{:y)*(--/ 2{.y)%<:{:y'
circle=:|: 2 1 o. /t=:do 0 2p1 81
_1 _1 1 1 dwin 'dwin polar circle'
200 0 200 dpoly circle

hypo=:|:(2 1 o./t=:do 0 2p1 81)^3
_1 _1 1 1 dwin 'dwin polar hypocycloid'  
200 0 50 dpoly hypo
   
whatif=:|:(2 1 o./t=:do 0 2p1 81)^2
NB.whatif=:|:2 9$1 0.5 0 0.5 1 0.5 0 0.5 1 0 0.5 1 0.5 0 0.5 1 0.5 0 
_1 _1 1 1 dwin 'dwin polar whatif'  
50 0 200 dpoly (*hypo)*whatif

Has the n-sphere become concave in higher dimension?
