Hilbert Table

James speculates that a Hilbert Table might be just the thing for a banquet in heaven. I knew it must have something to do with David Hilbert the eminent turn-of-the-century mathematician, but had to look it up. 

"...as many dimensions as guests, everybody sitting next to Jesus and kitty-corner with every other guest."

But can you have three-or-four way conversations also? Because multidimensions can be understandable without being picturable, I fall apart quickly.
