Conventions
It is customary to denote the dimension with the letter 'n' and the order of a hypercube with the letter 'm'.
- (n) Dimension : the number of directions within a hypercube.
- (m) Order : the number of numbers along a direction.
Further: In this article the analytical number range is being used. For the regular number range you can add 1 to each number. This has absolutely no effect on the properties of the hypercube.

Famous quotes containing the word conventions:
“Art, it seems to me, should simplify. That, indeed, is very nearly the whole of the higher artistic process; finding what conventions of form and what detail one can do without and yet preserve the spirit of the whole—so that all that one has suppressed and cut away is there to the reader’s consciousness as much as if it were in type on the page.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
“Why does almost everything seem to me like its own parody? Why must I think that almost all, no, all the methods and conventions of art today are good for parody only?”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
