A
three-dimensional projection of a tesseract performing a
simple rotation about a plane which bisects the figure from front-left to back-right and top to bottom. Also called an 8-cell or octachoron, a tesseract is the
four-dimensional analog of the
cube (i.e., a 4-D
hypercube, or 4-cube), where motion along the fourth dimension is often a representation for bounded transformations of the cube through
time. The tesseract is to the cube as the cube is to the
square. Tesseracts and other
polytopes can be used as the basis for the
network topology when linking multiple processors in
parallel computing.
