Net (polytope)
Tetrahedron-centered perspective projection into 3D space, with nearest tetrahedron to the 4D viewpoint rendered in red, and the 4 surrounding octahedra in green. Cells lying on the far side of the polytope have been culled for clarity (although they can be discerned from the edge outlines). The rotation is only of the 3D projection image, in order to show its structure, not a rotation in 4D space.

Famous quotes containing the word images:

    For thousands the world is a freak show, the images flicker past and disappear, the impressions remain flat and disconnected in the soul. Thus, they are easily led by the opinions of others, are willing to let their impressions be reordered, rearranged, and reevaluated.
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    The mind loves the unknown. It loves images whose meaning is unknown, since the meaning of the mind itself is unknown.
    René Magritte (1898–1967)

    What images are these
    That turn dull-eyed away,
    Or shift Time’s filthy load,
    Straighten aged knees,
    Hesitate or stay?
    What heads shake or nod?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
