Nearcubical

Nearcubical is a term used to describe a shape that is very close to being a cube but is not perfectly one. This means that while it possesses many of the characteristics of a cube, such as having six faces and roughly right angles, its dimensions are not all equal. For instance, a nearcubical object might have a length, width, and height that are similar but not identical. The deviation from perfect cubicality can vary. In some contexts, nearcubical might imply a slight rounding of edges or corners, or a minor elongation or compression in one or more dimensions. The term is often employed in informal descriptions or in fields where precise geometric definitions are less critical. It can also be used to describe objects that are intended to be cubical but have minor manufacturing imperfections. The concept is subjective, and what constitutes "nearcubical" can depend on the observer and the context. For example, a box that is slightly taller than it is wide might be considered nearcubical, while a significantly elongated rectangular prism would not be.
