In comparison with the most perfect magic 4x4x4 cube, the magic 4x4x4 cube is pantriagonal magic (= the 4 space diagonals and all space pandiagonals give the
magic sum of 130) and 2x2 compact (in all three directions i.e. 63+34+10+23 = 63+34+1+32 = 63+10+1+56 =130), but this 4x4x4 magic cube is only semi (= simple) magic (instead of diagonal
magic) in each level and semi (= simple) magic (instead of diagonal magic) through the levels.

See in download below how to construct (by puzzling) a 4x4x4 pantriagonal and 2x2 compact 4x4x4 magic cube.
With method composite 1' you use a splitted magic square to construct a magic cube. See on this website the construction of:
4x4x4 (pantriagonal & symmetric) and 4x4x4 (pantriagonal & compact)
