COMMENTS
Also called hypercube, n-dimensional cube, and measure polytope. For n=1, the figure is a line segment with two vertices. For n=2 the figure is a square with four edges. For n=3 the figure is a cube with six square faces. For n=4, the figure is a tesseract with eight cubic facets. The Schläfli symbol, {4,3,...,3}, of the regular n-dimensional orthotope (n>1) consists of a four followed by n-2 threes. Each of its 2n facets is an (n-1)-dimensional orthotope. The chiral colorings of its facets come in pairs, each the reflection of the other.
Also the number of chiral pairs of colorings of the vertices of a regular n-dimensional orthoplex using up to k colors.

FORMULA
A(n,k) = binomial(binomial(k,2),n).
A(n,k) = Sum_{j=1..2*n} A325010(n,j) * binomial(k,j).
A(n,k) = A325004(n,k) - A325005(n,k) = (A325004(n,k) - A325007(n,k)) / 2 = A325005(n,k) - A325007(n,k).
G.f. for row n: Sum{j=1..2*n} A325010(n,j) * x^j / (1-x)^(j+1).
Linear recurrence for row n: T(n,k) = Sum_{j=0..2*n} binomial(-2-j,2*n-j) * T(n,k-1-j).
G.f. for column k: (1+x)^binomial(k,2) - 1.

For a(2,3)=3, each chiral pair consists of two adjacent edges of the square with one of the three colors.
