Drawing Four Dimensional Cubes

---

Einstein added the dimension of time to our 3 dimensions of space. That was a hundred years ago. By now, everybody should be able to draw a 4 dimensional cube.

Einstein said and I've simplified his quote, "Systems should be complete and simple as possible."
Complete, in that the 4 dimensional cube drawing is a 4 dimensional cube.
Simple: minimum lines drawn with the fewest and easiest instructions. To keep the cube drawings simple, do not include hidden lines.

Only two core techniques are required to draw a 4 dimensional cube:
1. Draw dimensional baselines which is a new technique that is easy to follow.
2. Ability to draw square sides of a cube.

1.a Draw a square

1. Draw the dimensional baselines.
2. Draw parallel lines to the baselines which makes a square.

1.b Draw square sides of a cube.

1. Draw the dimensional baselines.
2. Draw the square sides using the baselines as guidelines.

2. Draw dimensional baselines.

The number of baselines is the same as the quantity of dimensions.
The baselines are guidelines to draw the rest of a cube's square lines.

Instructions to Draw a Four Dimensional Cube

1. Draw the dimensional baselines.
2. Draw the square sides using the baselines as guidelines.

The trick is drawing the 4 dimensional baselines. The rest is just drawing the visible 6 square sides.

Albert Einstein is often quoted as saying, "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler." See the Quote Investigator for further details.
Occam's razor says, when presented with competing hypotheses that make the same predictions, one should select the solution with the fewest assumptions.
Lao-Tzu, the author of the Tao Te Ching, named simplicity as one of his top three virtues. Compassion and modesty being the other two.
