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:
“Even in harmonious families there is this double life: the group life, which is the one we can observe in our neighbour’s household, and, underneath, another—secret and passionate and intense—which is the real life that stamps the faces and gives character to the voices of our friends. Always in his mind each member of these social units is escaping, running away, trying to break the net which circumstances and his own affections have woven about him.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
