If a line bundle on E3 is trivial on each zero-coordinate face, its First Chern class vanishes: the integral second cohomology consists of single-factor second cohomology and cross-products of first cohomology from pairs, and each summand is detected on a coordinate face. The holomorphic exponential sequence then puts the bundle in Pic0(E3). The decomposition of first cohomology, including Dolbeault cohomology, identifies this group with Pic0(E)3. Triviality on the three coordinate axes makes all three factors trivial. Applying this cube principle to the alternating partial-sum pullbacks proves the usual addition-map Theorem of the Cube.
