(Z1, Y1, X1, V1) (Z1, Y1, X1, V2), ... , (Z1, Y1, X1, Vt),
(Z1, Y1, X2, V1) ...         ...       , (Z1, Y1, X2, Vt),
...
(Z1, Y1, Xn, V1) ...         ...       , (Z1, Y1, Xn, Vt),
(Z1, Y2, X1, V1) ...         ...       , (Z1, Y2, X1, Vt),
...
(Z2, Y1, X1, V1) ...         ...       , (Z2, Y1, X1, Vt),
