For infant, child or world-class mathematician,
From manipulation (mental and manual) to research,
From developing mind to powerful intellect,
A robust, low-tech motor cognitive tool (not computer graphic),
A "jump-start" -- the Sommer Cube (S3).

Its embodiment of Albert Einstein's “combinatory play”
(analogical mapping and perceptual processing in visuospatial terms);
Its "transformative" nature
(cycle of concrete and abstract reasoning);
Its dialectic nature
(the "logic of dichotomies");
Its challenges / games;
Its "Paradigm shift"
(abstract reasoning, not just "puzzle solving";
Its demonstration of Systems Theory;
Its demonstration of a true "parallelism of general cognitive fields"
(Science Technology Engineering Mathematics (& Art).
And it's fun.
