Related Polytopes
The tetrahedral prism, -131, is first in a dimensional series of uniform polytopes, expressed by Coxeter as k31 series. The tetrahedral prism is the vertex figure for the second, the rectified 5-simplex. The fifth figure is a Euclidean honeycomb, 331, and the final is a noncompact hyperbolic honeycomb, 431. Each uniform polytope in the sequence is the vertex figure of the next.

“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)
