He called each of these a 'cubatom'. When properly put together they made a 'molecube'. This he said was a perfect cube.
He left me to puzzle over the scene. Before leaving however he did mention that all of the cubes were the right side up (for our purposes the bold numbers in the graphic are those on top.)

So? What was I expected to deduce from this?

(Clearly held up too long at the review to be fully addressed).
Look at first object. This is a 2x2x2 cube. The bold numbers align to the vertices of the 'diamond' in the "hatched" picture. Those o normal weight align to the lower layer.
For that 'cubatom'
The top layer is: and the lower one is:
1 8 8 13
14 11 11 2
Trust that gives the clarity that you seek.
