Some distant part of me realized I’d seen something similar to that folding and unfolding once, in a much simpler form. A tesseract, a fourth dimensional analogue to the cube.
Alright, so it wasn’t by much but I did catch on before Taylor spelled it out. 😛
I feel like “in a much simpler form” is to imply that either this is a much more complex fourth-dimensional shape, or it’s a shape of a much higher dimensionality than a measly four.
The difference was that while the cube had six flat faces, each ‘side’ of the tesseract had six cubes, each connected to the others another at each corner.
True.
To perceptions attuned to three dimensions, it seemed to constantly shift, each side folding or reshaping so that they could all simultaneously be perfect cubes, and each ‘side’ was simultaneously the center cube from which all the others extended outward.
This is a pretty good description.
