Three-dimensionality refers to the property of an object or space that has depth in addition to height and width, making it perceivable as having a volume instead of a flat surface. This characteristic is fundamental in differentiating objects in the real world from those in two-dimensional representations such as drawings and photographs.

Depth refers to the measurement of how deep something is, whether it be physical, such as the depth of a body of water, or metaphorical, such as the depth of a concept or emotion. It is a fundamental aspect in various fields, including physics, psychology, and art, where it helps to describe the complexity and richness of an object or idea.
