Size of a multi dimensional Labyrinth
I'll have a limited space like $1 km^3$ that have (through handwaving) more then three dimensions. But anyone entering it would perceive it as a three dimensional space. A little bit like this video, but more or less a flat version.
This results in two people walking around the same tree in clockwise or anti clockwise direction would end up at different positions.
What I would like to know is how big is my surface area on which I can walk at maximum inside the multidimensional space.
My first guess was, if I have a $1 km^n$ hypercube and ignore height I would have a surface area of $1^{n-1} $. With an 4 dimensional example I would have a surface area of $1km^3$. Unfortunately this is a unit of volume. So my formula is missing something to get $km^2$. I would also assume that the result would be something greater than $1km^2$
