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:
“I find nothing healthful or exalting in the smooth conventions of society. I do not like the close air of saloons. I begin to suspect myself to be a prisoner, though treated with all this courtesy and luxury. I pay a destructive tax in my conformity.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“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)
“It is not human nature we should accuse but the despicable conventions that pervert it.”
—Denis Diderot (1713–1784)
