Steps to hyperspace
0 A Point – (0D) No dimension
1 A Line 1D – Move a Point (0D) - Length
2 A Plane – Square (2D) – Rotate a Line (1D) around a Point (0D) by 90° Length and Width
3 A Space - Cube (3D) – Rotate a Plane (2D) around a Line (1D) by 90° Length, Width, Height
4 A HyperSpace - HyperCube (4D) – Rotate a Cube/Space (3D) around a Plane (2D) by 90°
Unfolding a Cube and Hypercube A Square unfolds to be 4 lines, a Cube unfolds to be 6 squares, a Hypercube unfolds to be 8 cubes. (and a hyper-hyper cube unfolds into 10 hypercubes) For a fun literary read And He Built a Crooked House by Robert Heinlein
