That is artistic license, and you know it. Do you have access to a tesseract? If so why the hell are you on HN?

Edit to add: And on further reflection, this won’t save you. Because the heat production in the hypercube is a function of internal volume, but the heat dissipation is a function of the interface with 3D space, so each hypercube is limited in size, and must then be separated in time or space to allow that heat to be transferred away, which takes up more than O(n^(1/3)) distance and distance means speed of light delays.
