the amazing virtual cube would appear from the outside

the colour at any point in the cube corresponds to its red-green-blue
and/or its cyan-magenta- black
coordinates in the cube -depending on whether you consider
black or white to be zero
the amazing virtual cube has no "real" existence - by its nature it is a
virtual entity and aspects of it are only visible thanks to information
technology
yet the essential properties that the amazing virtual cube embodies are
natural properties of colour and light and thus should be registered as
properties of nature
