Explaination: Initially‚ for those cuboids with at least one of the first three dimensions not aggregated(i.e. not *)‚ for example cuboid (dim1‚ ∗‚ ∗‚ ∗‚ ...‚ ∗)‚ there are two cells. The number of such cuboids is (23 − 1) ∗ 27 = 896. Second‚ for cuboids with the first three dimensions aggregated‚ for example cuboid (∗‚ ∗‚ ∗‚ dim4‚ ...‚ dim10)‚ there is only one cell. The number of such cuboids is 27 = 128. So the number of non-based
