* Take a dot (zero dimensional object) and move it any direction. ** Result is a straight line - called the 1-cube. * Take a straight line (one dimensional object) and move it, the same distance, in a direction orthogonal to the first direction. ** Result is a square - called the 2-cube. * Take a square (two dimensional object) and move it, the same distance, in a direction orthogonal to both the first two directions. ** Result is a cube - called the 3-cube. * Take a cube (three dimensional object) and move it, the same distance, in a direction orthogonal to all the other directions !!! ** Result a Tesseract - called the 4-cube. and so on ... This procedure results, at each stage, in the hypercube for that dimension or n-dimensional hypercube or n-cube. ---- * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercube * http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Hypercube.html
