Uses the fourth dimension as geewhiz terminology to explain
a matter duplicator/unduplicator. Includes a tesseract.
But if you ignore the story's explanation involving time as
the fourth dimension for the rank pointlessness that it is,
and substitute a genuinely geometric fourth dimension for the
effects that happen (as in, reality has a bit of 4D thickness,
and the contraption grabs slices) then it's not actually all
that bad.

At least temporarily, this story is available for free on-line from webscription.net. I didn't put it there so I have no idea how much longer it is likely to stay before a copyright holder forces them to take it down.
