Explain why n-dimensional cannot be represented physically, i mean, if theres a 3D representation of its movements, is it really impossible to do it physically?

well u c hear

We do not perceive objects in more then 3 physical dimensions, but that does not necessarily mean there are only 3 physical dimensions.  Because of the limitation of human perception n-dimensional objects for n > 4 cannot physically be represented.

We can't percieve spatial proximity in more than 3 dimensions simultaneously. Most people can just about grok 4 by representing one as time.
You can do n-dimensional projections to 3-dimensional space, like our eyes do a 2d projection of 3d, but it's lossy, and we humans haven't the hardware to process it as anything meaningful anyway.

Building materials have trouble being put together at right angles at more than three axes.

But an octeract can be represented in 3D as well, ive even seen 2D of them.

Right, and I've seen 2D representations of a cube, but ceci n'est pas...

Don't change these.
