Regular Skew Polyhedron - Infinite Regular Skew Polyhedra

Infinite Regular Skew Polyhedra

There are 3 regular skew polyhedra, the first two being duals:

  1. {4,6|4}: 6 squares on a vertex (related to cubic honeycomb, constructed by cubic cells, removing two opposite faces from each, and linking sets of six together around a faceless cube.)
  2. {6,4|4}: 4 hexagons on a vertex (related to bitruncated cubic honeycomb, constructed by truncated octahedron with their square faces removed and linking hole pairs of holes together.)
  3. {6,6|3}: 6 hexagons on a vertex (related to quarter cubic honeycomb, constructed by truncated tetrahedron cells, removing triangle faces, and linking sets of four around a faceless tetrahedron.)

Also solutions to the equation above are the Euclidean regular tilings {3,6}, {6,3}, {4,4}, represented as {3,6|6}, {6,3|6}, and {4,4|∞}.

Here are some partial representations, vertical projected views of their skew vertex figures, and partial corresponding uniform honeycombs.

Famous quotes containing the words infinite and/or regular:

    ““. . . Me miserable! which way shall I fly
    Infinite wrath and infinite despair?
    Which way I fly is Hell; myself am Hell;
    And, in the lowest deep, a lower deep
    Still threat’ning to devour me opens wide,
    To which the Hell I suffer seems a Heaven.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    “He hung out of the window a long while looking up and down the street. The world’s second metropolis. In the brick houses and the dingy lamplight and the voices of a group of boys kidding and quarreling on the steps of a house opposite, in the regular firm tread of a policeman, he felt a marching like soldiers, like a sidewheeler going up the Hudson under the Palisades, like an election parade, through long streets towards something tall white full of colonnades and stately. Metropolis.”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
