The snub 24-cell is also called a semi-snub 24-cell because it is not a true snub (alternation of an omnitruncated 24-cell). The full snub 24-cell can also be constructed although it is not uniform, being composed of irregular tetrahedra on the alternated vertices.
The snub 24-cell is the largest facet of the 4-dimensional honeycomb, the snub 24-cell honeycomb.
The snub 24-cell is a part of the F4 symmetry family of uniform 4-polytopes.

Famous quotes containing the word related:
“The custard is setting; meanwhile
I not only have my own history to worry about
But am forced to fret over insufficient details related to large
Unfinished concepts that can never bring themselves to the point
Of being, with or without my help, if any were forthcoming.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
