Yeah, Foldy, LJ is an essential element of the FReeQ tesseract.

Hmmm - tesseract, lemme look... so far beyond my paygrade I am not sure if the below is in English. I quit paying attention in school when I was 11.

In geometry, the tesseract is the four-dimensional analogue of the cube; the tesseract is to the cube as the cube is to the square. Just as the surface of the cube consists of six square faces, the hypersurface of the tesseract consists of eight cubical cells. The tesseract is one of the six convex regular 4-polytopes.

The tesseract is also called an eight-cell, C8, (regular) octachoron, octahedroid,[1] cubic prism, and tetracube.[2] It is the four-dimensional hypercube, or 4-cube as a part of the dimensional family of hypercubes or measure polytopes.[3] Coxeter labels it the {\displaystyle \gamma _{4}}{\displaystyle \gamma _{4}} polytope.[4]

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word tesseract was coined and first used in 1888 by Charles Howard Hinton in his book A New Era of Thought, from the Greek (téssereis aktines, “four rays”), referring to the four lines from each vertex to other vertices.[5] In this publication, as well as some of Hinton’s later work, the word was occasionally spelled “tessaract”.
