Let's solve the expression step by step. The expression is:

\[ \frac{2}{3} \cdot 6^{-(6-4)^3} \]

First, simplify the exponent in the expression:

\[ 6 - 4 = 2 \]

Now substituting this into the exponent:

\[ (6 - 4)^3 = 2^3 = 8 \]

Next, substitute this back into the expression:

\[ \frac{2}{3} \cdot 6^{-8} \]

This can be rewritten as:

\[ \frac{2}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{6^8} \]

Now, multiply the fractions together:

\[ \frac{2}{3 \cdot 6^8} \]

6 can be factored as \(2 \cdot 3\), so:

\[ 6^8 = (2 \cdot 3)^8 = 2^8 \cdot 3^8 \]

This means:

\[ \frac{2}{3 \cdot 6^8} = \frac{2}{3 \cdot (2^8 \cdot 3^8)} = \frac{2}{2^8 \cdot 3^9} \]

Now simplifying this gives:

\[ \frac{1}{2^7 \cdot 3^8} \]

Thus, the final answer for the expression is:

\[ \frac{1}{2^7 \cdot 3^8} \]

or approximately:

\[ \frac{1}{128 \cdot 6561} \]

If you calculate \(128 \cdot 6561\), you get 8388608, leading us to:

\[ \frac{1}{8388608} \]

This is the simplified value of the given expression.
