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:
“It is not human nature we should accuse but the despicable conventions that pervert it.”
—Denis Diderot (1713–1784)
“Languages exist by arbitrary institutions and conventions among peoples; words, as the dialecticians tell us, do not signify naturally, but at our pleasure.”
—François Rabelais (1494–1553)
“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)
