[yerocdsx] Three layers thick

A 2D display can depict something in 3D if the 3D object is at most 3 discrete layers thick.  Easiest is some voxel object 3 layers thick.  The three layers are assigned colors: red green blue.  The presence or absence of a voxel on in a color layer causes different colors to occur.

Similarly, 3D is enough to depict something in 4D at most 3 layers thick in the 4th dimension.

Possibly useful for the point growth fractal.  Just a little bit of 3D might be enough for points to slide past each other.
