Binary is the simplest language, it requires one spacial and one temporal dimension to exist.

If you happened to find yourself existing along a line of binary code, trapped in the 1D environment, you would not be able to read it or conceive of its existence.

However, If you existed somewhere along a plane in 2D space-time and an arbitrary 1D line of binary crossed your path you would certainly be able to understand it. Even if that line of code what not level with the plane you existed on, and was "crossing through" from the Z axis. You would see the changes in space or time in the quality of the line and interpret it as language if you happened to have a "dictionary" for that language.

We exist as observers in 3D space-time, so our ability to behold an entire line of theoretical 1D binary code in any arbitrary orientation relative to our location holds true.

An interesting thought experiment is to imagine an 1D binary string - in the same manner as the 2D plane described above - crossing through the 3D hyperplane we exist in from the W axis of 4D space. Could we behold the language if we happened to have the right "dictionary" for it?

And does this hold for N dimensions?
