A hyper dimensional object is an extension of tradition geometries. The same way a 3D cube has 2D faces a 4D cube has 3D faces. This goes for any dimension where the faces dimension is equal to n-1 and the dimension the object is in equals n.

For nD Eulers formulas go here: http://www.math.osu.edu/~fiedorowicz.1/math655/HyperEuler.html

For a 4D Rubiks cube go here:

In two dimentions you are able to move along two axes(up-down, left-right).
In three dimentios you are able to move along three axes(up-down, left-right, ahead-backwards).
In four dimentions you are abloe to move along four axes(up-down, left-right, away-closer, ahead-backwards, one fourth dimention directon-the other fourth dimention direction).
etc.

4th dimension is for time lords
5th is for aliums
the 6th is where your spirit guide resides in

Are you able to visualize 4D objects/dimensions?

Carl Sagan made a video about that a long time ago, you should look it up on youtube or something. Helped me understand.

But you forgot it all, as usual - except that it was Sagan. That's the intended effect of popsci.

You can visualize there 3D projections but that is not what they would actually look like.

Assuming 4d is to 3d as 2d is to 3d, you just add another direction (L,W,H,4) we just dont know what it is, as our 3d universe can't see the 4th D.
