Long description

Part (a): A zero-dimensional star configuration shows the main node connected with seven outer nodes. Part (b): A zero-dimensional design that is at the other end of the spectrum, a full interconnect is shown. Here every node has a direct connection to every other node. Part (c): A Tree design is shown here. The top node is split into two other nodes of level two. The nodes on level two again split into two, and form the level three. The nodes in level three again split into two and form level four. Part (d): A one-dimensional topology design ring is shown, an elliptical shape with eight equidistant points. Part (e): The grid is a two-dimensional design, in which nodes are arranged in four columns and four rows. Here every node is connected. Part (f): The cylindrical image of a grid is shown. In this, every node is connected in a circular form, forming a loop structure. Part (g): The cube is a three-dimensional topology design, where each of its edges is shown using nodes. Image H: A four-dimensional cube constructed from two three-dimensional cubes with the corresponding nodes connected. We could make a five-dimensional cube by cloning the structure and connecting the corresponding nodes to form a block of four cubes. To go to six dimensions, we could replicate the block of four cubes, interconnect the corresponding nodes, etc.
