I should explain that all I was currently doing was trying to understand Raul's version and modify it to allow theentry of the numbers of squares in one dimension of a face. That's what I couldn't seem to do. Along the way I was modifying it to add some features that I'd like to include. Hence the inside out look. I also want to include "blending" of the colors as I did in my early version. Once I really understand Raul's version I hope to put all the ideas together and make it as simple as possible. I'll respond when I consider both Raul's and your ideas...

Your model relies on the (optional) property that diagonally opposite corners are complementary. (That's why you don't need to specify the fourth corner on any face.) In that case you can only define 4 corner colours independently. (If you recall, my "model" applied 8 independent, not necessarily different colours to the 8 corners labelled A - H .) For example, setting 4 corners in your first two faces: FRONT=:< 'F0 F1 F2' =: M;R;W LEFT =:< F0;F2; L2 =: B NB.shares an edge with FRONT F3 =: F1 + F2 - F0 NB. Linda's rule for 4th corner L3 =: F2 + L2 - F0 NB. "" TOP =:<F2;F3;L3 BACK=:<L3;(1-F0);L2 NB. 2nd corner complement of F0 RIGHT=:<(1-F0);F3;1-F2 BASE=:<L2;(1-F2);F0 By the way, the face names seem to have become non-intuitive. Left & Right are ok, but the central pillar of your net is Front/Top/Back/Base, which seems "inside out" to me - I gather it's a very good film!
