If any one of these cubes be taken at random, it is easy enough to find
out to what part of the Tessaract it belongs. In all of them, except 2,
there will be one face, which is a copy of a face on 1; this face is, in
fact, identical with the face on 1 which it resembles. And the model
shows what lies in the unknown direction from that face. This unknown
direction is turned into our space, so that we can see and touch the
result of moving a square in it. And we have sacrificed one of the three
original directions in order to do this. It will be found that the line,
which in 1 goes in the 4th direction, in the other models always runs in
a negative direction.
