This version of the hypercube has fairly thick lines giving it a more chunky look. The Hypercube is the 4 dimensional analog of the cube. For full info on it see the Wikipedia article here. This model is an unusual projection of the Hypercube that equally distorts all 8 of its cubes. All the lines the same length as they should be in a Platonic hyper solid or 'polytope'. It is my own invention from about 36 years ago when I first got into drawing 3D stereographic models. It is the equivalent of drawing a cube as a hexagon with 6 lines that nearly meet at two points near centre. I call it the Toroidal Hypercube as it distinctly gives the impression of a toroidal (doughnut/smokering) shape. It is also called the Time Traveller as it represents the measurement unit of SpaceTime and looks rather like a 8 pointed compass. You can easily find the 8 distorted cubes (in 2 sets of 4 cubes) as each side of the octagonal shape is an edge of a (distorted) square that connects to 2 other squares.
