Related Polytopes
It is a part of an infinite family of polytopes, called hypercubes. The dual of a Hepteract can be called a 7-orthoplex, and is a part of the infinite family of cross-polytopes.
Applying an alternation operation, deleting alternating vertices of the hepteract, creates another uniform polytope, called a demihepteract, (part of an infinite family called demihypercubes), which has 14 demihexeractic and 64 6-simplex 6-faces.

“In the middle years of childhood, it is more important to keep alive and glowing the interest in finding out and to support this interest with skills and techniques related to the process of finding out than to specify any particular piece of subject matter as inviolate.”
