Why can't I create a tesseract-ish object with boolean operations in Rhino?

Create a box and scale-it with respect to its centroid. Then use boolean to remove the smaller box from the bigger box.

Hello - use NonManifoldMerge for this. The inner box will not have inward pointing normals though -you can use two mesh boxes, flip the inner one inwards and then Join the two. Meshes can be disjoint, breps generally not, in Rhino.
