we obtain fig. 84, in
which the initial
letters of the colours
are given instead of
their full names.
Here we see that
there are four null
cubes as before, but
the series which spring
from the initial corner
will tend to become
lines of cubes, as also
the sets of cubes
parallel to them, starting
from other corners.
Thus, from the initial
null springs a line of
red cubes, a line of
white cubes, and a line
of yellow cubes.
If the number of
the cubes is largely increased,
and the size
of the whole cube is
diminished, we get
a cube with null
points, and the edges
coloured with these three colours.
The light yellow cubes increase in two ways, forming
ultimately a sheet of cubes, and the same is true of the
orange and pink sets. Hence, ultimately the cube
