An n-dimentional analogue of a square is called an n-cube, or a hypercube. They can be constructed by numbering the vertices using n base-2 bits.

n = 0

A 0-cube is just a point.

n = 1

A 1-cube is a line. Its vertices can be labeled using 1 bit.

n = 2

A 2-cube is a square. Its vertices can be labeled using 2 bits.

n = 3

A 3-cube is a cube. Its vertices can be labeled using 3 bits.

n = 4

A 4-cube is a tesseract. Its vertices can be labeled using 4 bits. This is where binary labeling of vertices can be especially useful, because it can help construct a tesseract.
