I have a box of extra cans of wet cat food, looking to give away. (Still lot of time until expiration!) Would it be ok to leave at a community fridge?

I’ve been reading Lost recaps and theories and have come across a couple instances where people compare the island to a tesseract or a 4th dimensional cube. Some people directly call the island a tesseract, but in mathematics that term is literally for a 4D cube not just any 4D object. I just wanted to flag this misconception and take a shot at my own way to describe the island. The island is a 4th dimensional construct, not an object. It exists because some consciousness or force is maintaining its boundaries and creating a sense of persistent time for its inhabitants… and its inhabitants, anyone and anything that makes it “onto the island,” is not a 3D object anymore. People’s consciousness exists outside of the 3rd dimension, in the “light”; when they’re “on” the island, they are experiencing a sort of simulation, a 3D hologram within the 4D space. When they cross the barrier into the island it dissipates the matter and energy from their body, they don’t travel somewhere. To observers still in the 3rd dimension, if they’re happen to be near the island when it “moves” to a new hotspot, they will only see that it’s there if the island is refracting its light to them. Like one of those lenticular prints where you see a different image depending on where you are standing. In this understanding of the island… it doesn’t have mass, which in my mind helps explain why there isn’t a tsunami every time the island pops into a new spot that was full of water. I guess this also means that anytime someone gets off the island, their body is stitched back together like a transporter beam in Star Trek. Hope this has been useful or interesting
