It's a simple topological theorem.  All one need do is extrapolate the
Bastille into the 4th (or perhaps 5th since the "storming" is not
instantaneous), flip it inside out, then project it back down into the
original 3 (or 4) dimensions.  This preserves the integrity of the
Bastille and adapts it to protect from intrusion instead of escape.
