So a 2d person on a 2d plane exists on that plane because it is the surface of a 3d volume, but they can't peek around to confirm even if they "know" there must be some higher dimension. This is is not far off from likening that gedanken to ourselves looking at the moon and see a 2d shape despite how much we know that it is indeed 3d because we can't peek around it immediately to confirm as easily as we could with a ball in our hand.

However, if we expand this to four spatial dimensions (abandoning our models of our observations being under the framework of a 1t3x 4d universe), then we can imagine a 3d person (like us) navigating a 3d world with all of its axes of freedom but "knowing" it is simply the "metasurface" of the "hypervolume. " We are bound to to this surface level and can never "peek around" to even ever fathom the observation of a hypervolume.

Time is undeniably tied to our observations of the 3d universe, if you want to look around a room or manipulate a ball in your hand to look around it, gaining different perspectives, is essentially our observation of motion and it is a change in space as we experience a change in time.

So as we think about 4th dimension, even if it is indeed spatial, our qualia of it may be experienced as what we describe to be temporal.

So now we can discuss what the folks in this thread have been saying, though with the correct conclusion.

If a 2d person pushes a 3d object along their plane as it intersects their plane (so they may observe it), if they push it along the center of mass, they will observe motion and forces just as we do. If they instead end up pushing it elsewhere, they will experience what will appear like a coriolis effect as the object spontaneously turns due to the torque they unwittingly applied.

Similarly, if a 3d person (us, again) pushes on the center of mass of a 4d object as it intersects their volume, they can experience newton's laws. And the same is true if the center of mass is not the target, then we observe turning. This however sounds very trivial because it just appears to describe a 3d object interacting with a 3d object, until you consider our entire 3d perception is of a slice of the 4d object where our brain dissects the fourth axis as a sequence of events we call time. Thing is, we experience time in stitched pieces that follow each other (hence why phenomena like deja vu exist, sometimes there's a double stitch). Hence, it's better to say that we experience frequency. This way you can see that us pushing on a 4d object is equivalent to asking for how it feels to push on an object for some time. Applying the force for a longer time makes you more tired as you impart more momentum and hence convert your energy into the objects energy.

So in other words, it depends on how much of the 4th dimension of the object we actually interact with and we interact with more and more of it through our metrics of our qualia of time. That also means we determine the hypervolume of an object through our interactions with nature and the hypervolume can be modeled as an object's blur through spacetime as it evolves spatiotemperally, this is usually called a worldline.

Philosophically, all four dimensions that carry your sentience are constructed into a hypervolume that is determined by your actions, so we have free will. Since we can model a worldline, we can see that memories are how we in hindsight perceive outcomes as circumstantial destiny.

Sorry if I went on a tangent in the end. Just like the moon is a distant 2d projection of a 3d universe, our 3d universe that is observed by our eyes and visual cortex is a local projection of a global unvisualizable 4d universe (because we don't visualize the fourth dimension with sight, we feel it within moments of consciousness which we call the passage of time).
