The Tesseract Project
The Tesseract Project is a suite of extensions that provide a global MVC framework to gather, filter and output data within TYPO3. It defines several types of objects that can interact with one another using a controller and that exchange data between themselves using standardized data formats. This standardization of interfaces and data exchange formats makes it possible to build a very flexible architecture with a minimum of efforts.
License
The Tesseract Project is comprised of a suite of TYPO3 extensions. As such it is released under the same license as TYPO3: GPL v2 or later.
All extensions are open source and published on the TYPO3 Forge.

What is a tesseract?
In geometry, the tesseract, also called an 8-cell or regular octachoron, is the four-dimensional analog of the cube. The tesseract is to the cube as the cube is to the square. Just as the surface of the cube consists of 6 square faces, the hypersurface of the tesseract consists of 8 cubical cells. The tesseract is one of the six convex regular 4-polytopes.
