24-cell - Three Coxeter Group Constructions

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.

Three nets of the 24-cell with cells colored by D4, B4, and F4 symmetry

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

(Each edge corresponds to one triangular face, colored by symmetry arrangement)

Famous quotes containing the word group:

    Belonging to a group can provide the child with a variety of resources that an individual friendship often cannot—a sense of collective participation, experience with organizational roles, and group support in the enterprise of growing up. Groups also pose for the child some of the most acute problems of social life—of inclusion and exclusion, conformity and independence.
    Zick Rubin (20th century)
