The 27 3-dimensional points of the mandalic cube
The diagram above illustrates the 27 3-dimensional points of the cube upon which are superimposed the 64 hexagrams (64 6-dimensional vertices) in the manner previously detailed to form the I Ching mandala or 6-dimensional mandalic cube.
Note again that 26 of these 3-dimensional points appear on the faces of the cube. The 27th point at the center of the cube is visible only if the cube is constructed of a transparent material. If the construction material is opaque the 27th point is hidden from view.
At least that's the story from our conventional macroscopic perspective. But in the microcosmic world of the quantum there is no solidity from the outset. The 64 6-dimensional vertices are simply folded in such manner as to form the 3-dimensional cube with its 27 quantized points separated by empty space and held together by the force fields so created. It is not the solid 3-dimensional world that is primary. What we experience as solidity is a byproduct of geometry and an artifact of scale. Our 3-dimensional world is the end result of the meetings and interactions of higher dimensions, a fortunate epiphenomenon for us.
