Alexandra "Sasha" Trusk from Cube 2: Hypercube

(I just want to note that Wikipedia says she’s a teenager and the actress was 15 when the movie was made. For some reason, the Cube wiki says she’s in her 20s, which I don’t think is supported by the movie at all. I think we should trust Wikipedia with this, especially since the actress wasn’t even in her 20s during filming)

I'll take your word for this, but if anyone has any official media that proves or disproves what anon claims, please let me know.

Name: Alexandra "Sasha" Trusk

Age: Teenage

Restrictions: None

Cube 2: Hypercube

2002 • R • 1h34m

Eight strangers awaken with no memory, in a puzzling cube-shaped room where the laws of physics do not always apply.

[haveyouseenthishorrormovie]

SUMMARY: Eight strangers find themselves waking up in a strange cube-shaped room with no recollection of how they came to be there. Soon discovering that they're in a strange fourth dimension where our laws of physics don't apply, they have to unravel the secrets of the "hypercube" in order to survive.

Mod Sus: It's been ages since I saw this one, and while I liked the first one just fine, this one I recall being... alright. Not as good as first one but still fine in some parts I liked.

sorry i dont know who this is for other than me but i cant stop thinking about kjsfg cube (1997) as an infinite flow novel ever since i said that. i think being in an infinite flow novel would fix me (NO IT WOULDNT THEY STRESS ME OUT SO BAD but they compel me)

Cube 2: Hypercube

[violetfractal]

come back! i have more facts about hypercubes.

A 3-cube has 6 faces, 12 edges, and 8 vertices. A 3-cube has six square faces. Squares are also known as 2-cubes! a 3-cube's surface is made up of six 2-cubes.

A 4-cube has 8 cells, 24 faces, 32 edges, and 16 vertices. By cells, I mean 3-cubes. a 4-cube's surface is made up of eight 3-cubes. Look at this diagram of a 4-cube. Can you see the eight 3-cubes? You might only see four at first.

... On the 3-cube, each edge borders 2 faces. if you were a 2D creature, you could live on the surface of a 3-cube. when you got to the edge, you would have to turn a 90° corner, and then you could see more of your world.

This is nice and predictable.

However, on a 4-cube, each edge borders 3 faces. Scroll back up to the diagram of the 4-cube and convince yourself that this is true. If Mario lived on the 4-cube's faces, navigating edges would be extra confusing. Mario is 2-dimensional, so the 4-cube has two extra dimensions beyond the ones he lives in. When he reaches the edge, Mario can turn 90° in either of two directions, reaching two different destinations.

Are you ready? Now you are going to be Mario. You are a 3-dimensional being, so you could live on the 3-dimensional surface of a 4-cube. Here's a picture of you, Mario, standing inside one of the eight 3-cells that make up the surface of the 4-cube.

From your position you can travel in any of 6 directions: up, down, left, right, forward, or back. Whichever direction you choose, you will come to a square face. The hypercube's surface folds at these faces. You will have to turn your body 90° into the fourth dimension, then you can continue through the face and into a new 3-cell.

To summarize, the 3-cell you currently occupy has six neighbors. That makes seven 3-cells. Where is the eighth? if you move into any of your six neighbors, then continue straight on through, you will enter the eighth 3-cell. It is antipodal to your current position. If you go straight 4 times, you will end up back where you started.

Is that straightforward? good. Now things are going to get weird.

The 5-cube has 10 4-cells. These, taken together, are the 5-cube's surface. The 5-cube also has 40 3-cells, 80 faces (2-cells), 80 edges (1-cells), and 32 vertices.

The 40 3-cells are not the surface of the 5-cube. They are more analogous to the 1D wireframe edges of a 3-cube. Nevertheless, they form a contiguous 3-dimensional space, and as a 3-dimensional creature, you could live inside them.

Except. Remember 2D Mario's predicament on the 4-cube earlier? You are now in the same predicament. Your cell is 3-dimensional, but your universe is 5-dimensional. That means there are two extra dimensions beyond the three you occupy.

Whenever you reach the boundary of your cell, you meet a face. Passing through the face, you can turn your body 90° into the fourth dimension and enter a new cell. Or you can turn your body 90° into the fifth dimension and enter a different cell!

Since your cell has six faces, your cell has twelve neighbors! On the 5-cube, each face borders 3 cells. How can that be? I can't visualize it. I'll leave it to you to map out the 40-cell compound you are now trapped in. I'm sorry.

hint: each edge borders 4 faces and 6 cells. that's because any 2 faces define a cell, and 4 choose 2 is 6!

❗ You Have Received A New Task:

The Rotation Of Cubes In Your Mind

Recall one of the many cubes you've no doubt experienced in your long life.

Describe what the cube was, what it meant, and where it came from.

Qualifying cube examples: Rubiks Cube, The Companion Cube, Cube 2: Hypercube on DVD, Gamecube, Gateway2000s Cow Cube, a 6 sided die, a laundry machine, a poorly designed car, half a brick, several full bricks stacked into a cube, etc...

The object need not be perfectly cubic, so long as it embodies cubehood.

This task is worth 10 points.

Been thinking about the meaning of the act titles in ultrakill. Imperfect Hatred and Godfist Suicide have very obvious connections to Gabriel (being mistaken about his "perfect hatred", the "righteous hand of the Father" going out in one final epic fight he knows he's going to lose), but the meaning of Infinite Hyperdeath in relation to Gabriel is less clear.

Gabriel's arc is one of a queer awakening, but he had not just been asleep beforehand. Even before the events of the game, he had been discontent with the Council's rule. Nevertheless, he obeyed, suppressing those feelings and subsuming his will to that of the Council—a death of the self. But he is immortal; there is no end. Those feelings will rise again and again, and every time they must be put down. He must keep killing that part of himself over and over and over forever—his death is eternally recurring and eternally fresh: an infinite hyperdeath. (You might even say he's ultrakilling himself.)

And then I watched the act 2 dev stream and Hakita said it was just an over-the-top naming convention he saw in a video game that he forgot the title of and wanted to emulate, in combination with a naming gag about the sequel to Cube being called Hypercube: "I just wanted hyper-something. Hyperdeath, 'cause it's more than death! And then I just tacked on infinite 'cause it makes it even more hyper." Which totally negates everything I just said.

And then someone asked if the game was Garrison: Archangel, to which he said "might be". For context, Garrison: Archangel is a robot fighting game about mechas called archangels, purpose built for war. So now I'm like okay, does this title have meaning in relation to Gabriel or not!!! Was being extra only one aspect of the thought process in coming up with the act 1 title, or was that the entire thought process? The whole game is intentionally over-the-top, and the other act titles follow a similar naming convention while being thematically relevant, so it's not entirely out of the question that there is deeper meaning to it. Augh.
