Looking to describe in 4-dimensional hypercube. I have located this parametric equation via wiki:

parametric equation

I am failing to translate this into something useful for me. I have attempted to define is functions of x, y, z, and w. So far I am here:

let a = theta
let b = phi

x (u,v) =  t*s*cos(a)*cos(b)
y (u,v) =  t*s*cos(a)*sin(b)
z (u,v) =  t*s*sin(a)
w (u,v) =  t

Do I need the point of the cone (singularity) to be at (0,0,0,0) ? I am hoping to implement this with rhino/grasshopper/python. Any help is greatly appreciated.

The implicit equation is:

x^2 + y^2 + z^2 -w^2 = 0

  • Do you want to project the 4d cube into 3d space? Your equation needs a 4d engine to draw the w axis in. – Ben Mar 08 '14 at 11:55
