For what it's worth, I would zoom out. First, moving from one density to the next is going to open up a world of new choices as well as many new categories of choices. So, the country bumpkin just coming in from 2D is going to face a bewildering array of ways of doing things, and it will be no great surprise when they begin to explore new cuisines, new mating patterns, new kinds of pop music, pornography and illicit drugs. Are we not all things? (Yeah, it's a big old mess, but don't blame me. This one is not my fault.)
