Why would the pondering of a 4 dimensional object projected onto a 2D user interface be confusing?

Pondering this matter can be misleading and confusing. If an image attempts to represent a fourth-dimensional object projected onto a two-dimensional interface, such speculation is inherently limited. A true perception of a fourth-dimensional object requires a fourth-dimensional perspective, and any dynamic changes in the object would necessitate at least a fifth-dimensional abstraction. However, as three-dimensional beings, we can only perceive three-dimensional objects with a fourth-dimensional abstraction. Therefore, a genuine fourth-dimensional perception with fifth-dimensional abstraction is beyond our reach. What is possible is mathematical abstraction, not visual interpretation.
