Abstract

This first objective of this paper is to search for higher-dimensional cube structures and explore their relationship with certain Archimedean polyhedra. In particular, the research focuses on the relationship between the six-dimensional cube and the truncated octahedron. The problem is approached through the study of higher-dimensional hypercube projections in three-dimensional space and, subsequently, on a plane, and the finding that each n-hypercube can result from a composition of lower-dimensional cubes. This procedure basically leads to the generalization of the concept of the cube through its successive projections in different dimensions, and finally reveals a relationship of a topological nature between the cube and Archimedean solids, such as the truncated octahedron.
