I don't know any details about zexy. Although, here is an idea, how to 
handle every N-dimensional matrix as a linear vector:

To convert a matrix to a vector in Matlab use:

linvec = reshape(matrix, [],1);

which will reshape the matrix to a linear vector.

To access any single element you have to recalculate the index:

indexlin = k + K*l + K*L*m + K*L*M*n + ...

with:
- k,l,m,n...: index of first, second, third... dimension
- K,L,M,N: number of elements in each dimension.

By the way: this is more native way to treat matrices in computational 
processing, because every matrix is stored in the RAM in the linear 
order in any case :-) That's why your more-dimensional index is 
recalculated to a linear index by every software which handles matrices.

regards,
Piotr Majdak
