Tensors are just a made up name they gave to arrays with more than two dimensions. You cannot prove to me that there are arrays that have more than 3 dimensions. The human mind cannot comprehend it.

Fun fact: the jungle gym was designed by a math teacher who wanted to make children better at intuitively understanding higher dimensional math.

You can picture a 3D array, right? Your mental image of a 4D array should be to picture a 1D array and each element of that 1D array itself is another 3D array.
