A new two-dimensional lattice model that is "consistent around a cube"

For two-dimensional lattice equations one definition of integrability is that the model can be naturally and consistently extended to three dimensions, i.e., that it is "consistent around a cube" (CAC). As a consequence of CAC one can construct a Lax pair for the model. Recently Adler, Bobenko and Suris conducted a search based on this principle and certain additional assumptions. One of those assumptions was the "tetrahedron property", which is satisfied by most known equations. We present here one lattice equation that satisfies the consistency condition but does not have the tetrahedron property. Its Lax pair is also presented and some basic properties discussed.
