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:
“Just as a person who is always asserting that he is too good-natured is the very one from whom to expect, on some occasion, the coldest and most unconcerned cruelty, so when any group sees itself as the bearer of civilization this very belief will betray it into behaving barbarously at the first opportunity.”
—Simone Weil (1910–1943)
