A cell-transitive or isochoric figure is an n-polytope (n>3) or honeycomb that has its cells are congruent and transitive with each other.
A facet-transitive or isotopic figure is a n-dimensional polytopes or honeycomb, with its facets ((n-1)-faces) congruent and transitive. The dual of an isotope is an isogonal polytope. By definition, this isotopic property is common to the duals of the uniform polytopes.
- An isotopic 2-dimensional figure is isotoxal (edge-transitive).
- An isotopic 3-dimensional figure is isohedral (face-transitive).
- An isotopic 4-dimensional figure is isochoric (cell-transitive).

Famous quotes containing the words related and/or terms:
“Just as a new scientific discovery manifests something that was already latent in the order of nature, and at the same time is logically related to the total structure of the existing science, so the new poem manifests something that was already latent in the order of words.”
—Northrop Frye (b. 1912)
“The research on gender and morality shows that women and men looked at the world through very different moral frameworks. Men tend to think in terms of “justice” or absolute “right and wrong,” while women define morality through the filter of how relationships will be affected. Given these basic differences, why would men and women suddenly agree about disciplining children?”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
