Imagine a large 2x2 grid on a sheet of paper. The Yes/No columns/rows of the grid are for candidates A and B. No lines demarcate the boundaries of the grid. Instead, each quadrant of the grid contains an outlined 2x2 grid. Each grid has Yes/No columns/rows for candidates C and D. You now have a 2x2x2x2 (4D) grid on a piece of paper. I suppose this can be extended again to a 5D grid (i.e. 5 candidates) by having two sheets of paper. In general, I think the layout and presentation is very crucial.
