  Tesseract - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In geometry, the tesseract is the 4-dimensional analog of the (3-dimensional) cube, where motion along the fourth dimension is often a representation for bounded transformations of the cube through time.
The tesseract is to the cube as the cube is to the square, or more formally, the tesseract can be described as a regular convex 4-polytope whose boundary consists of eight cubical cells.
The connection pattern of the tesseract's vertices is the same as that of a 4×4 square array drawn on a torus; each cell (representing a vertex of the tesseract) is adjacent to exactly four other cells.

The tesseract is the four-dimensional analogue of the cube.
Tesseracts are important because the entire maze is constructed out of them.
If we really understood the four-dimensional world, we would know that the eight faces all have the same size and shape, and that together they enclose an interior that is not the interior of the large cube.

 The Tesseract (or Hypercube)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The Tesseract is a guided demonstration of how we can visualize rotation in four dimensions.
That is, to visualize the tesseract, there doesn't need to be a physical analogue of the fourth dimension.
This demo was written in March, 1994 by Olaf Holt at the Geometry Center.

 Amazon.de: The Tesseract: English Books: Alex Garland   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The Tesseract's vivid images and breakneck chases make it unsurprising to learn that Garland started out as a comic-book author, though his second novel really bears comparison with Robert Stone's Dog Soldiers.
The tesseract of Garland's title refers to the reduction of a four-dimensional cube to a three-dimensional one: "We can see the thing unraveled, but not the thing itself." In an attempt at similar dimensionality, Garland (The Beach) has written a novel that operates on two levels.
Although Garland's allusions to super-symmetry and tesseracts are far-fetched, the reader will come away impressed by his sense of place and his unique storytelling, which combines a brisk, complex plot with an ability to get into the souls and skins of people.

The Tesseract was a success in the indie-movie house world and film festivals, and was picked up by Sundance in the U.S. for distribution.
The Tesseract is an interesting premise; the lives of four people (a drug runner, a psychologist, a bellboy, and an injured assassin) intersect in various ways in a disreputable Bangkok hotel.
Tesseract really doesn't meet any of that criteria, so it is far from a good movie, which means as far as I am concerned, it [was not good].

 The Tesseract - a 4-dimensional cube

 [No title]
We can see that a plane of red stickers (balls) is now distributed among the middle panes, while four lines of blue stickers, that were before distributed, are now merged into one plane of blue stickers on the left pane.
The tesseract follows all the regular laws of a Rubik's cube, only in four dimensions.
In this particular case, because the tesseract is a 4*4*4*4 piece, each pane has 4*4*4, or 64, different 'stickers', and they should all be of the same color.

 Google Code - Updates: Announcing Tesseract OCR
Fortunately some of our esteemed HP colleagues realized a year or two ago that rather than sit on this engine, it would be better for the world if they brought it back to life by open sourcing it, with the help of the Information Science Research Institute at UNLV.
We tracked down the most obvious ones and decided a couple of months ago that Tesseract OCR was stable enough to be re-released as open source.
We are grateful to all the people at HP who made it possible to release Tesseract into open source, and especially John Burns, who championed and babysat the project.

 Magic tesseract - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It can be shown that if a magic tesseract consists of the numbers 1, 2,..., n
The number n is called the order of the magic tesseract.
If, in addition, the numbers on every cross section diagonal also sum up to the tesseract's magic constant, the tesseract is called a perfect magic tesseract; otherwise, it is called a semiperfect magic tesseract.

 Salon Books | The Tesseract
While the idea of men's men who dislike guns is a device -- a neat deflation of macho expectations -- it also gives the reader a special window into both the action that's about to unfold and a link between two characters who are destined to face off.
But if "The Tesseract" is a more sophisticated piece of writing than "The Beach," Garland still isn't quite the voice of maturity.
A tesseract, as the book explains, is "a four-dimensional object -- a hypercube -- unraveled." In other words, a deeply significant thingamabob incomprehensible to most mere mortals.
