Posit this: the 4th dimension is the world of our senses. The place where sight, smell, taste, hearing and touch combine in neural ways.  That is what separates experience from computer simulation - no matter how good.

Think on it.

  1. Quickish comment about modelling and analytics: Modelling, data analysis and such don't exist in isolation from humans, perceptions, insights and goals. Models (etc) are there to reflect relationships that can be found by measurement in CRM or survey data. The motivation to even look for those relationships come from people making decisions about running a business. It's for their benefit. Lots of relationships unfortunately (especially responses to unusual situations) are very hard to model, but reasonably easy to guess about. Those guesses improve with experience and having "a good way to look at the situation". Indeed, relationships which are easiest to model are often those a client says "I knew that already". Modelling can sharpen precision, and reveal sneaky but important things in extensive data that aren't apparent to unaided humans. The very least that can be said is that ignorance is the enemy. Tom.
