⭐ Core Definition: Five-dimensional space

A five-dimensional (5D) space is a mathematical or physical concept referring to a space that has five independent dimensions. In physics and geometry, such a space extends the familiar three spatial dimensions plus time (4D spacetime) by introducing an additional degree of freedom, which is often used to model advanced theories such as higher-dimensional gravity, extra spatial directions, or connections between different points in spacetime.

Five-dimensional space in the context of Light field

A light field, or lightfield, is a vector function that describes the amount of light flowing in every direction through every point in a space. The space of all possible light rays is given by the five-dimensional plenoptic function, and the magnitude of each ray is given by its radiance. Michael Faraday was the first to propose that light should be interpreted as a field, much like the magnetic fields on which he had been working. The term light field was coined by Andrey Gershun in a classic 1936 paper on the radiometric properties of light in three-dimensional space.

The term "radiance field" may also be used to refer to similar, or identical concepts. The term is used in modern research such as neural radiance fields.

Five-dimensional space in the context of 5-cube

In five-dimensional geometry, a 5-cube (or penteract) is a five-dimensional hypercube with 32 vertices, 80 edges, 80 square faces, 40 cubic cells, and 10 tesseract 4-faces.

It is represented by Schläfli symbol {4,3,3,3} or {4,3}, constructed as 3 tesseracts, {4,3,3}, around each cubic ridge.
