Three Coxeter Group Constructions
There are two lower symmetry forms of the 24-cell, derived as a rectified 16-cell, with B4 or symmetry drawn bicolored with 8 and 16 octahedral cells. Lastly it can be constructed from D4 or symmetry, and drawn tricolored with 8 octahedra each.
| Rectified demitesseract | Rectified 16-cell | Regular 24-cell |
|---|---|---|
| D4: Three sets of 8 rectified tetrahedral cells | B4:One set of 16 rectified tetrahedral cells and one set of 8 octahedral cells. | F4: One set of 24 octahedral cells |
| Vertex figure (Each edge corresponds to one triangular face, colored by symmetry arrangement) |

Famous quotes containing the word group:
“He hung out of the window a long while looking up and down the street. The world’s second metropolis. In the brick houses and the dingy lamplight and the voices of a group of boys kidding and quarreling on the steps of a house opposite, in the regular firm tread of a policeman, he felt a marching like soldiers, like a sidewheeler going up the Hudson under the Palisades, like an election parade, through long streets towards something tall white full of colonnades and stately. Metropolis.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
