Anyone here seen the 4th Dimension?

Negatory. With 2d subspace, since we're looking down on it, the top down view, the 2d objects have width and length, but no depth or height. Your spider there, which is to say a pilot in that spider, wouldn't see a wall, he wouldn't see anything. There is no height to see, unless of course, he were somehow outside of himself looking down on the map. Take a sheet of paper, draw a warbird on it, then turn it sideways. The paper actually has height, albeit next to none of it, what you're talking about would have none at all, and would then be effectively invisible viewed from that angle.

I also dunno what you're on about with the 4d person thing? You can turn your head left right, up and down, and can turn around forward backward. Has nothing to do with dimension.. if you were a person that had a series of eyes equadistant all the way around your head, you'd be able to see it all at once, and you'd still be a 3d being. What if said 4th dimensional being didn't have eyes at all? If the fourth dimension were time, then instead of having a special perspective about the outside of a person they would instead see a 3d being at any point along timeline they wanted to I suppose.

The fourth dimension would mean your eyes could see every aspect of the 3d world, ie you could see your own neck. Easiest to picture it in the same way scientists explain hyperspace warping. You bend the 3 dimensions.
I couldn't find the kind of picture I wanted this quickyl but this might help understanding it a little:


Here 2 dimensions are bent to make third dimension. All looks very easy, you just put it down. Same thing with making a fourth dimension, you poke the ball in a direction which is not up, down, left or right. The result is that the ball moves from point a to point b without going trough any spot around point a or b (as in a chessboard: without touching any of the 8 squares surrounding the piece).
