Hyperdimensional Technologies

Devices designed to access, interact with, or harness the power of hyperdimensional realms, where the normal rules don't apply and the possibilities are literally infinite. These technologies include "hyperdimensional computers" that compute all possible answers simultaneously (they return "yes," "no," "maybe," and "why are you asking?" all at once), "hyperdimensional communication arrays" that can reach any point in any dimension (they mostly pick up cosmic static and your mother-in-law from a dimension where she's even more judgmental), and the theoretical "hyperdimensional energy source" that would provide unlimited power (it also provides unlimited existential dread, so maybe not worth it). The main challenge is that hyperdimensional technologies have to be operated by 3D beings with 3D brains, which is like teaching a fish to ride a bicycle—possible in theory, ridiculous in practice.

Hyperdimensional Technologies Example: "He bought a hyperdimensional technology device that claimed to solve any problem by accessing infinite-dimensional solution spaces. He asked it where he'd left his phone. The device hummed, glowed, and displayed the answer: 'Everywhere and nowhere, simultaneously. Also, it's in your hand.' He was holding his phone. The device had solved the problem hyperdimensionally, which is to say, it had made him feel stupid in infinite dimensions."
