We progress towards an understanding of the phase-space structures of higher-dimensional systems similar to the well-known case of Hamiltonian systems with two degrees of freedom. Using 3d phase-space slices and frequency analysis we investigate the global organization of regular tori of a generic 4d symplectic map with a mixed phase space. We visualize how all of the regular 2-tori are organized around a skeleton of elliptic 1-tori in the 4d phase space. The 1-tori occur in two types of one-parameter families: The first type are Lyapunov families attached to elliptic-elliptic periodic orbits. These families are observed to exist even far away from their periodic orbit and beyond major resonance gaps. We explain how the second type originates from rank-1 resonances. At resonance gaps of both families either (i) periodic orbits exist, similiar to the Poincaré-Birkhoff theorem for 2d maps, or (ii) the family forms large bends. In combination these results allow for describing the self-similiar hierarchy of regular tori in the 4d phase space.
