Tesseract – Math Fun Facts

Tesseract

Listen!  This sentence's period - that's me. 
I'll just move one inch to my right, you see. ------>.
     Now, I trace a one-inch segment of a line.
     It's my one-dimensional redesign. 

Watch me trace my line segment down from there,
producing what some folks might call a square.
     I execute this little trick for you 
     in a special dimension known as two.



Look!  I rise off the page, one inch - 
mutually perpendicular, a sinch!
     Orthogonal to left/right and up/down,
     I'm a cube, a 3D shape of renown. 

A fourth perpendicular direction,
and my shape should warrant your attention;
     and the name they call me, to be exact,
     is Mister Hypercube or Tesseract.

Thanks, kind of a math and poetry merger.
