A couple projects for computers, sought to hide the cables
so you could not see them. That places the cables in
the 4th dimension.

   "MSI places connectors on secondary side of board, so you cannot see the cabling"

     https://media.overclock3d.net/2024/01/IMG_7914-scaled.jpg

   "Video card with ridiculous power-connector-hiding feature"

     https://i.pcmag.com/imagery/articles/07FjIvZr0FMmD2VhINXAmtJ-8.fit_lim.size_1844x.jpg

If Skybuck were here, he would use his patented "zillion pieces of tape"
to build a computer. And that was part of hiding cabling in another time.
But the technology of cable hiding has progressed since then.
