The dissection of the tesseract into instances of its characteristic simplex (a particular orthoscheme with Coxeter diagram ) is the most basic direct construction of the tesseract possible. The characteristic 5-cell of the 4-cube is a fundamental region of the tesseract's defining symmetry group , the group which generates the B 4 polytopes .
The full snub tesseract or omnisnub tesseract, defined as an alternation of the omnitruncated tesseract, can not be made uniform, but it can be given Coxeter diagram , and symmetry [4,3,3] +, and constructed from 8 snub cubes, 16 icosahedra, 24 square antiprisms, 32 octahedra (as triangular antiprisms), and 192 tetrahedra filling the gaps at ...
The tesseract can make a regular tessellation of 4-dimensional hyperbolic space, with 5 tesseracts around each face, with Schläfli symbol {4,3,3,5}, called an order-5 tesseractic honeycomb. The Ammann–Beenker tiling is an aperiodic tiling in 2 dimensions obtained by cut-and-project on the tesseractic honeycomb along an eightfold rotational ...
In geometry, a hypercube is an n-dimensional analogue of a square (n = 2) and a cube (n = 3); the special case for n = 4 is known as a tesseract.It is a closed, compact, convex figure whose 1-skeleton consists of groups of opposite parallel line segments aligned in each of the space's dimensions, perpendicular to each other and of the same length.
The cantellated tesseract, bicantellated 16-cell, or small rhombated tesseract is a convex uniform 4-polytope or 4-dimensional polytope bounded by 56 cells: 8 small rhombicuboctahedra, 16 octahedra, and 32 triangular prisms.
In geometry, the rectified tesseract, rectified 8-cell is a uniform 4-polytope (4-dimensional polytope) bounded by 24 cells: 8 cuboctahedra, and 16 tetrahedra. It has half the vertices of a runcinated tesseract , with its construction, called a runcic tesseract .
The [4,3,3,4], , Coxeter group generates 31 permutations of uniform tessellations, 21 with distinct symmetry and 20 with distinct geometry. The expanded tesseractic honeycomb (also known as the stericated tesseractic honeycomb) is geometrically identical to the tesseractic honeycomb.
In geometry, a truncated tesseract is a uniform 4-polytope formed as the truncation of the regular tesseract. There are three truncations, including a bitruncation , and a tritruncation, which creates the truncated 16-cell .
