Abstract: Let

C

and

D

be a pair of crumpled

n

-cubes and

h

a homeomorphism of

e x t B d C

to

e x t B d D

for which there exists a map

f_{h} : C o D

such that

f_{h} | e x t B d C = h

and

f_{h}^{- 1} (e x t B d D) = e x t B d C

. In our view the presence of such a triple

(C, D, h)

suggests that

C

is "at least as wild as"

D

. The collection

m a t h s c r W_{n}

of all such triples is the subject of this paper. If

(C, D, h) i n m a t h s c r W_{n}

but there is no homeomorphism such that

D

is at least as wild as

C

, we say

C

is "strictly wilder than"

D

. The latter concept imposes a partial order on the collection of crumpled

n

-cubes. Here we study features of these wildness comparisons, and we present certain attributes of crumpled cubes that are preserved by the maps arising when

(C, D, h) i n m a t h s c r W_{n}

. The effort can be viewed as an initial way of classifying the wildness of crumpled cubes.
