It must be something about how my brain is wired but I absolutely love this image.
Quite a neat way of illustrating that recurring esoteric Jewish-Persian-Indian construct of (7=1+3+3)+12. Which seems to roughly correspond with the 7 directions and 12 edges of the cube. Interesting that it puts the 12 inside of the outer 6.
Symmetry = beauty? Not always, but in this case it seems to be.

The 12 in the middle are nice. But one could move the small points of the 12 to the edges, and you'd get something maybe clearer, if perhaps blander.
Coded as edges, the small points indicate rotations to opposite 'polarity' faces, assuming the faces are polarised in a way that maps to the two overlapping triangles of the hexagram. (Which seems to be a big part of the 3+3+1 thing; I'm not sure why, but it's very definitely there). The big points indicate rotations to the same polarity.

The idea that came to me a few months back is that the 3+3 map to something like two genders and three ages (ie, of which the Celtic Triple Goddess is a surviving example of the female half, and the Sphinx's Riddle the male half).
Also, perhaps, three generations of a polarised field or waveform. Three 'shells of light' or three local world-planes.
The 1 is the zero balance point.
All of these probably just geometrical / biological metaphors for something not entirely representable.

but, eg, if the cube is a 3D representation, the hex star formation is a 2D representation, a 1D representation is something like
