7×7 #4 FINAL PRODUCT: “A FOUR-DIMENSIONAL PROSTHETIC MASK”

This tool is intended to be used by the last human on Earth. The tool should be used as a prosthetic mask.

The last human will wear the prosthetic mask at all times. It is a necessary artificial addition to the last human’s face.

The prosthesis is a three-dimensional rendering of a four-dimensional object. The four-dimensional object is the last human’s face in four dimensions. The prosthesis is extrapolating the three-dimensional face of the last human, and thereby creating a projected version of the four-dimensional face.

Although the last human perceives primarily in three dimensions (as all humans before also have), the last human is in dire need of connection to the fourth dimension. This is not metaphysical or spiritual in any way: it is not implicating time travel, portals or multiverses. The last human is not interested in speculative sci-fi dreams. It is a strictly geometrical and physical description of the fourth dimension.

All humans understand the difference between one, two and three dimensions, easily exemplified as the difference between the line, the square and the cube. This is necessary knowledge for all humans before the last human. In a similar manner, it is imperative for the last human to be in touch with, at a very basic level, the difference between the third and the fourth dimension. It is a fundamental necessity in order to be able to grasp the reality of the landscape in which the last human dwells.

(from time to time, the last human feels almost two-dimensional; ever since the last skyscraper had crumbled into dust and the tall trees had fallen, what was remaining of the Earth had become very flat)
