If there are more than three dimensions then we just sum from over more indices. That is the beauty of the sum notation for vectors. For example if we have n dimensions, numbered from 1 to n:

or when there are a countably infinite number of dimensions

.

If there are an uncountably infinite number of dimensions, we move into the area of functions, and the sum must be represented with an integral as discussed here.
