just for what my opinion is worth - I think the closest analogue of a 4d physical space/time experience is the show Boku Hero no Academia. (otherwise known as 'My Hero Academia').
It's an anime, in the superhero genre. And I think why the superhero genre has exploded in recent years (all the Marvel movies), is that it's foreshadowing the 4d physical form, and how 'close' it is.
It's an evolved version of the 3d body (much like the 3d body is evolved from 2d forms), and invested with 'powers' and 'abilities' that tap into a physical experience (and shaping) of intelligent energy.
And those abilities cover the spectrum: from physical strength, to flying, action at a distance, and mental abilities.
It goes beyond 'magic' in having to be invoked, and actually becomes part of the baseline for experience.
But it still feels very 'relatable' and human. It's not so far distant as a 5d body, which can be shaped at will, and is like light putty.
Superheroes are still 'physical', and can be injured, hurt, and damaged.
I don't know if you have read any manga, saw an anime or read a web novel that takes upon the Wuxia chinese fantasy genre that often includes immortal cultivation, it is interesting how this genre divides the steps or levels of cultivation and you see many terms transposed across stories.
I had tried to map them with the concept of densities and if I take the hierarchy in Desolate Era, the 3D level would be the Houtian level, 4D basic one would be the Xiantian lifeform level (some creatures are born of the Heavens at this stage) and many stages later you arrive at the 5D level which would be Celestial Immortal.

The genre is focused upon overcoming the mortal fate, defying the will of the Heavens into ascension from 3D. There's the concept of body refiners and ki refiners. In the initial stages of development of the MC, I mapped things he reached that perfectly described powerful spiritual experiences I had, the author has a strong insight.
