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.

—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
“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?”
