A four-dimensional cube. Each face of a three-dimensional cube generates a cube, when moved at right angles to the existing three dimensions (i.e., into time), including the generating cube and concluding cube, for a total of eight cubes. To see a two-dimensional rendering, including fascinating moving images, click here.

Think of it as a cube that moves through time into the future. Also used as a symbol of transcendent vision.
