Is the third dimension the memory of the fourth dimension utilised in the nature of perception?

Perception requires subject, object and knower.

Memory is related to identity, as is really just a change in perception

The 3 dimensions are length, width and height, the 4^th dimension being time.

To answer the above question we can use an example of a cylindrical shape:

The eye actually sees only a 2 d image from the side but memory constructs the 3^rd dimension that is produced over time (the 4^th dimension).

Again, looking head on only the mouth of the cylinder would be visible:

So perception involves 4 dimensions. A useful exercise would be to look at 3-D objects in 2-D for a set time. This disrupts our habitual pattern of looking at the world.
