Hi Colleen On #3 for me 4d would mean being inside the stuffed toy animal seeing all the stuffing, inside of the fabric etc and adding the time element so seeing it being assembled at the beginning, seeing its existence with all the getting played with, dirty, washed and played with again and finally seeing it disintegrate on some refuse dump.
However, while i started out making things like apple pies all around me repeatedly I now simply design stuff I need to make or jobs I need to do. For instance, I need to fetch a 13 foot 1000 pound log out of the woods and move it o my saw mill. I picture the devices I need to connect to the log, knots I need to attach to the devices on the log and where I can anchor the winch I will use to pull the log out of the woods. This kind of problem is most interesting to me. It solves a problem in life that I need to accomplish in the next day. For me "360 degrees around me" is not limited to a horizontal plane. I am at a point location independent of gravity or the horizon so 360 is spherical.
