>>My understanding is that when they say "hologram", they're simply meaning an n dimensional object that's encoded in n-1 dimensional space.

If you apply that definition recursively. i.e, n in n - 1 , n - 1 in n - 2 and so on. You can ideally represent every thing in the very first dimension itself.

Ah, but you already knew that - anything computable can be represented on a Turing machine's 1-dimensional tape.

Makes me wonder what it actually means to say a system is n-dimensional, if you can equally well "implement" it for any n.
