The design of a four-dimensional toric code is explored with the goal of finding a lattice capable of implementing a logical CCCZ gate transversally. The established lattice is the octaplex tessellation, which is a regular tessellation of four-dimensional Euclidean space whose underlying 4-cell is the octaplex, or hyperdiamond. This differs from the conventional 4D toric code lattice, based on the hypercubic tessellation, which is symmetric with respect to logical X and Z and only allows for the implementation of a transversal Clifford gate. This paper further develops the established connection between topological dimension and transversal gates in the Clifford hierarchy, generalizing the known designs for the implementation of transversal CZ and CCZ in two and three dimensions, respectively.
