  Magic square Summary
In recreational mathematics, a magic square of order n is an arrangement of n² numbers, usually distinct integers, in a square, such that the n numbers in all rows, all columns, and both diagonals sum to the same constant.
The earliest magic square of order four was found in an inscription in Khajuraho, India, dating from the eleventh or twelfth century; it is also a panmagic square where, in addition to the rows, columns and main diagonals, the broken diagonals also have the same sum.
Odd and doubly even magic squares are easy to generate; the construction of singly even magic squares is more difficult but several methods exist, including the LUX method for magic squares (due to John Horton Conway) and the Strachey method for magic squares.

 Algorithms to make magic cubes and magic tesseracts
A panmagic tesseract (namely, a pan-4-agonal or panquadragonal magic tesseract) can exist only if the order is divisible by 16, or the order is odd and higher than 5.
It is unknown what condition is required and sufficient for the existence of strictly magic tesseracts (namely, 2,3,4-agonal magic tesseracts), but 2,3,4-agonal magic tesseracts exist for orders divisible by 4 and higher than 4, and for odd orders higher than 14, and cannot exist for order 3, 4, or 5.
A strictly panmagic tesseracts (namely, a pan-2,3,4-agonal magic tesseract) can exist only if the order is divisible by 16, or the order is odd and higher than 16.

In mathematics, a magic square of order n is an arrangement of n² numbers in a square, such that the n numbers in all rows, all columns, and both diagonals sum to the same constant.
Magic squares exist for all orders n ≥ 1 except n = 2, although the case n = 1 is trivial—it consists of a single cell containing the number 1.
Yang Hui, in the 13th-century China, was one of the first mathematicians to study magic squares, or vertical and horizontal diagrams as they were called.

A magic cube is defined as a cubical array such that all rows, columns, pillars, and four triagonals of the array sum to the same value (called the (magic) constant or the magic sum).
Similarly, a magic tesseract is a four-dimensional hypercube whose rows, columns, pillars, files, and eight quadragonals sum to the constant.

Compact magic squares consist of 2x2 subsquares where the 4 cells sum to 4/m of S. Kanji Setsuda [2] extended the concept to magic cubes of order 4 where the four cells of all 2z2 squares, parallel to the sides of the cube sum to 130 (which is S for order 4 cubes).

Just as the magic square total for the first 3x3 nested table is 15 (indicated above in Table 2 as 1:15), each other 3x3 nested table gives rise to its own total (indicated beneath it, eg 4:96, 9:231, and 2:42).

 Self-similar Magic Squares
Whether these magic squares are semi-pandiagonal or simple seems to have no bearing on whether a horizontal or vertical reflection is required to match the complement to the original.
Because this is an associated magic square, the complementary square must be both horizontally and vertically reflected to match the original.
Any non-associated magic squares that have complementary pairs that are symmetric across either the horizontal or the vertical center line produce self-similar copies that are either horizontally or vertically reflections of themselves.
