A hypercube is an n-dimensional polytope which is the dual of that dimension's cross polytope. They exist in all dimensions. They can be represented by the bracketopic string [a1a2...an] or by the combined Coxeter-Dynkin string x4o(3o)*.
Under the Tamfang naming scheme, hypercubes are denoted by the geo- prefix, meaning the classical element of "earth".
