4 Dimension Net Theory
四维网络理论
by:JackO
The net, or Submachine, etc, is a 4 dimensional model. For those of you that don’t know, the first 3 dimensions are the aspects of space we live in, i.e. length width and depth, then there is a 4th dimension that is thought to be something like how the universe is shaped, where there is a finite(limited) amount of space and matter, but it all folds in on itself in an infinite loop. So when you come up to an edge, you go through it, but come out back at the beginning or center. The thing about 4D object is that they can be incredibly large (or at least seem to be) from the inside, but outside they can be microscopic. The idea is that if you go far enough in one direction then you will end up back at the start, such as in sub 5 where you brake down that bricked up door and end up under the lighthouse again. If the net were a 4D model that has been made or created in some way, then it would explain how you can continue for ever and never meet anyone, and seeing how people would simultaneously be in a place and not be, you would see notes from them, even if you never see them.
网络，或者submachine本身，等等，都是一个四维模型。对于不知道概念的人来讲，前三个维度有关我们居住的空间，即长度，深度和宽度。第四个维度则被认为是解释宇宙如何成型的原因。四维虽然有着有限的空间和物质，它们却被折叠在一个无限的循环中。所以当你抵达四维空间的边缘时，你会发现你回到了最开始的原点，或者说中心区域。四维物体的特点是，在它的里面，会显得整个非常大，但是在它外面，它实际观察起来像是微观的。这个想法是，当你朝一个方向走得够远，你就会回到一开始的地方。例如在Sub5里，当你炸开砖门的时候，你重新回到了灯塔里。如果整个subnet是由某种方式构建的四维模型，那么它就能解释你为什么一直走下去而见不到任何人，并且看到人们时隐时现。不仅如此，虽然你没见过这些人，但你能够看到他们的笔记。
