one thing I really like about this projection:
in a way, our reality is the eighth cube, where hyperspace is the
other cubes.  thus, our reality is infinite, minus the are of the
other seven hyper-realities.  If you allow the above, extend it to a
general case, any given hyper-space isn't likely to be a regular
hyper-polyhedron.

enough ramblin' speculation for one evening.
