Sounds much like something I've been working on: The Cell Model.
Each cell has a set of named ports. Each port is an ordered list of
connections.
ports are connected bidirectionally via connections.
A port can only connected to the same opposite port once (not sure this is
necessary).

If you say that each port name is a dimension, it seems to be ZigZag? I
haven't read the documentation closely though.

I briefly mentioned this project a while back.
