A222186 a(n) = number of distinct ways to choose a subset of the n*2^(n-1) edges of the n-cube so that the resulting figure is connected and fully n-dimensional. 2

%N a(n) = number of distinct ways to choose a subset of the n*2^(n-1) edges of the n-cube so that the resulting figure is connected and fully n-dimensional.

%C "Distinct" means that figures differing by a rotation are not regarded as different.

%C "Fully n-dimensional" means not lying in a proper subspace.

%C Suggested by Sol LeWitt's work "Variations of Incomplete Open Cubes," which shows 122 of the 123 figures in the three-dimensional case.
