Thanks for the kind words and for sharing your thoughts! I actually remember Jenn3d as well — the animations always reminded me of some kind of shimmering foam.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t quite grasp the method you’re describing — perhaps I’m missing some illustrations. (By the way, links [2] and [3] seem to point to the same video, and I’m not sure they match your description.)
It sounds like you’re suggesting a way to slice objects into almost-repetitive sections, so the brain can reconstruct a fuller picture — a bit like how compound eyes work in insects.
That's so strange. For some reason it gave me the link for a completely different video...
Anyway - here's

Yeah, jenn was really rad. It's red meat to me when anyone's working on these kinds of projections.
Since without the proper explanation the whole "concentric spherical section planes" thing is unclear (and actually, they wouldn't be section "planes" in the first place), here's the paper I was referencing:

(see pg. 3 for a visual explanation that I hope helps.)
I intersected the objects in the lattice with spheres to create lines, then projected those to the outer sphere and down to the 2d plane. In the same way, you could use concentric hyperspheres to intersect a 3d object serially, then project those intersections back to 3d space...
Thanks — your method makes more sense now. I’m not very familiar with architectural design problems, so I didn’t fully grasp how this technique helps build a more complete understanding of the internal structure of composed objects. The final image reminds me of a kind of holographic source.
When I think in that direction, it seems more appropriate not to add spatial dimensions (like 4D), but to add animation to your method (shifting or rotating the original composed object). That might help an untrained viewer better understand the usefulness of the final projection.
