The above structure illustrates the affine space of three dimensions
over the three-element finite (i.e., Galois) field, GF(3). Enthusiasts
of Judith Brown's nihilistic philosophy may note the "radiance" of the
13 axes of symmetry within the "central, structuring" subcube.

I prefer the radiance  (in the sense of Aquinas) of the central, structuring 
eightfold cube at the center of the affine space of six dimensions over
the two-element field GF(2).

Teaching the Academy to See

“Art bears the same relationship to society
that the dream bears to mental life. . . .
Like art, the dream mediates between order
and chaos. So, it is half chaos. That is why
it is not comprehensible. It is a vision, not
a fully fledged articulated production.
Those who actualize those half-born visions
into artistic productions are those who begin
to transform what we do not understand into
what we can at least start to see.”

Beyond Order , by Jordan Peterson

The inarticulate, in this case, is Rosalind Krauss:
