Also called hypercube, n-dimensional cube, and measure polytope. For n=1, the figure is a line segment with two vertices. For n=2 the figure is a square with four edges. For n=3 the figure is a cube with six square faces. For n=4, the figure is a tesseract with eight cubic facets. The Schläfli symbol, {4,3,...,3}, of the regular n-dimensional orthotope (n>1) consists of a four followed by n-2 threes. Each of its 2n facets is an (n-1)-dimensional orthotope. Two unoriented colorings are the same if congruent; chiral pairs are counted as one.

Also the number of unoriented colorings of the vertices of a regular n-dimensional orthoplex using exactly k colors.

T(n,k) = Sum{j=0..k-1} binomial(-j-2, k-j-1) * binomial(n+binomial(j+2, 2)-1, n).

T(n,k) = A325009(n,k) + A325010(n,k) = 2*A325009(n,k) - A325011(n,k) = 2*A325010(n,k) + A325011(n,k).

The triangle begins with T(1,1):

For T(2,2)=4, there are two squares with just one edge for one color, one square with opposite edges the same color, and one square with opposite edges different colors.
