Generating Regular Seeds
All of the five regular polyhedra can be generated from prismatic generators with zero to two operators:
- Triangular pyramid: Y3 (A tetrahedron is a special pyramid)
- T = Y3
- O = aY3 (Rectified tetrahedron)
- C = daY3 (dual to rectified tetrahedron)
- I = sY3 (snub tetrahedron)
- D = dsY3 (dual to snub tetrahedron)
- Triangular antiprism: A3 (An octahedron is a special antiprism)
- O = A3
- C = dA3
- Square prism: P4 (A cube is a special prism)
- C = P4
- Pentagonal antiprism: A5
- I = k5A5 (A special gyroelongated dipyramid)
- D = t5dA5 (A special truncated trapezohedron)

Famous quotes containing the words regular and/or seeds:
“They were regular in being gay, they learned little things that are things in being gay, they learned many little things that are things in being gay, they were gay every day, they were regular, they were gay, they were gay the same length of time every day, they were gay, they were quite regularly gay.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“If you can look into the seeds of time,
And say which grain will grow and which will not,
Speak then to me.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
