The n-cube

Idea

The n-dimensional cube, or simply n-cube, is a generalisation of the ordinary cube (or 3-cube) to arbitrary dimensions. It comes in may guises.

As a cubical set

The standard cubical n-cube is the cubical set represented (as a presheaf) by the object [n] in the cube category.

As a topological space

The standard topological n-cube is the space [0,1] n, where [0,1] is the unit interval. The collection of topological cubes forms a topological cocubical set?.
