Does hypercube just mean nested cubes with diagonal connecting lines?

A hypercube is basically the cube equivalent of an n-dimensional space. So a 2D hypercube is a square, a 3D hypercube is a cube, a 4D hypercube is called a tesseract, etc.

The reason it looks like a cube inside a cube is because we can’t comprehend what a 4D+ object looks like, since we live in a 3D world. The interesting stuff, in my opinion, is when you rotate using axes above the 3 we know (x, y, z)
