ABSTRACT
Hypercubism, Part II, analyzes the structures of reality and experience through three dimensions: 3D (information and interaction), 4D (mind and thought), and 5D (consciousness). The work deals with each dimension separately, presenting the characteristics of each dimension in relation to existing research. The third dimension deals with physics, geometry, biology, and the laws of nature. The fourth dimension draws on psychological perspectives. The nature of fifth dimension remains intentionally open. Although the geometric model clarifies the interaction between the dimensions, the stronger role of consciousness remains under investigation.
Three-dimensional reality is therefore, in the light of existing research, a structural and measurable fact. The fourth dimension encompasses the mind and thought, interpretation, and thought structures and processes. The fifth dimension, consciousness, encompasses the individual self and consciousness. Our reality is experienced through consciousness.
The purpose of this text is not to make any claims, but to present a coherent and alternative way of looking at reality and the experience that defines it. This text is a continuation of Hypercubism, Part I, which contains a manifesto, a philosophy, and an artist’s text. It would be a good idea to review and read that text first before moving on to Hypercubism, Part II. This text also serves as an intermediate step to the final text, Hypercubism, Part III, in which the structure that has now been dismantled is reassembled through the means of art.
Keywords: Hypercubism, consciousness, experience, mind, self-examination, reality, dimension, information, 3D, 4D, 5D
PREFACE
I dedicate this text to my son Theo, who, in all his wisdom, has taught me the skills of being a human being and a father. I miss him. I believe that one day he will understand his father’s need to travel, to have peace to write, and to distance himself from the normal things of life.
My friend Marko Järvinen has been trying to persuade me to visit his apartment in the village of Chiusa Sclafani on the island of Sicily for the past two years. Finally, this trip came to fruition, and I am writing this text at his apartment in a small Sicilian village, sitting at the kitchen table upstairs. I would like to thank Järvinen for giving me this opportunity to visit. This text is therefore also dedicated to him.
In 2015, I met a yoga teacher named Dada Bhavottarananda (1968). He is an Advahuta of the Anandamarga movement, a person who has devoted himself completely to the path of sadhana, renouncing his worldly identity and dedicating his life to teaching meditation and yoga. He taught me the secrets of meditation and yoga for two years, but we also had many discussions about the soul and human consciousness during that time. He asked me my name, and I answered him. However, he asked a follow-up question: yes, Anssi is your name, but who is the being behind that name? He gave me a new name: Abhay Dev, which means conqueror of fear, one who has conquered fear and never fears challenges. This text is also dedicated to him.
Life is difficult to define in one word, but if I had to, I would say process. I would define reality with the word space. When I think about how I would define Hypercubism as simply as possible, I would say that it is a process in space.
I have now been systematically writing and researching life for over ten years. In 2014, I began self-examination, in 2017 I began writing about it, and in 2025 I published the Hypercubism Manifesto and Philosophy. In addition to publishing books, writing articles, and other reflections, this adventure has included a few hundred paintings, exhibitions, studies in Finland and abroad, and the most incredible stories. I am grateful.

FINAL REFLECTIONS
Hypercubism has become, to put it mildly, a slight obsession for me. For the past ten years or so, I have been wondering about the structures of our reality and the different perspectives and ideas related to it. When painting came alongside my reflections, it opened up a whole new dimension to examining the structures of our reality, but also specifically to how reality is experienced and perceived, and how it can be expressed in many different ways through painting.
I am completely sure of what I have written and I stand behind it. In addition to our concrete three-dimensional world and our minds and thoughts, there is another level: consciousness. The psychological view that consciousness is merely a structure created by the brain is not consistent. A thought cannot examine a thought; it is not a logical answer. Within a thought, there may be two hierarchically unequal factors that examine each other. How can we then trust which of the two thoughts examining the other is the correct one?
It would also be worthwhile to examine texts written about the soul from a slightly more modern perspective. If we think about the Bible in today’s language and keep it in the present day, it is no wonder that it sounds far-fetched to some. It would be good to take the concept of the soul into a modern context and examine things from a slightly more mature perspective. These thoughts are a good starting point for continuing on to the text Hypercubism, Part III.
