View Full Version : Tesseracts as building blocks?

Howdy all!

I've been wracking (or wrecking) my brain trying to figure out how one might stack tesseracts. If I use a 3D analog like stacking sets of 6-sided dice, my mind understandably balks at how this would apply in 4 dimensions. Where do the extra parts of the hypercube meet? Does it fit neatly together as stacking a bunch of 3D cubes would?

Any help trying to visualize this would be much appreciated!
Cheers!
