Lambda cube are replaced by faces, as well as a dual representation as a dodecahedron, where the 12 edges are replaced by faces. Lambda cube In mathematical logic and type theory, the λ-cube is a framework for exploring the axes of refinement in Thierry Coquand's calculus of constructions, starting from the simply typed lambda calculus (written as λ→ in the cube diagram) as the vertex of a cube placed at the origin, and the calculus of constructions (higher-order dependently typed polymorphic lambda calculus; written as λPω in the diagram) as its diametrically opposite vertex. Each axis of the cube represents a new
Prince Rupert's cube the adjacent edges, and one point at distance 3/16 from the cube vertex along the third adjacent edge. Prince Rupert's cube is named after Prince Rupert of the Rhine. According to a story recounted in 1693 by English mathematician John Wallis, Prince Rupert wagered that a hole could be cut through a cube, large enough to let another cube of the same size pass through it. Wallis showed that in fact such a hole was possible (with some errors that were not corrected until much later), and Prince Rupert won his wager. Wallis assumed that the hole would be parallel
