Re: Hypercube

Tx David. It is this new fangled language that gets to me. If they had
just said greater than three dimensional cube, I would be ok, But I have
never heard the word Hypercube before. Color me antiquated. But then
again quantum mechanics was not a topic in my college days either.

Or if they had said like space-time, even then .....

A hypercube is a generic D-fold Cartesian (i.e. direct) product of a
line segment taken with itself. Here D is the dimensionality of the
hypercube. (When D=1 it is just a line segment; when D=2 it is a square;
when D=3 it is an ordinary cube; when D>3 it is just called a
'hypercube', or sometimes, 'D-dimensional cube' or 'D-dimensional
hypercube', etc.)
