The red corner is the nearest in 4D and has 4 cubical cells meeting around it. The tetrahedron forms the convex hull of the tesseract's vertex-centered central projection. Four of 8 cubic cells are shown.
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 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 nearest edge of the cube in this viewpoint is the one lying between the red and green faces. Likewise, the nearest face of the tesseract is the one lying between the red and green cells. On the left is the cube viewed corner-first. This is analogous to the edge-first perspective projection of the tesseract
A 3D projection of a rotating tesseract. (In response to Brian0918's suggestion: The tesseract is suspended and oriented so that all edges, faces, and cubes are either parallel or perpendicular to the direction the projecting light is pointing. The tesseract rotates about a 2D axis perpendicular to the direction of the projecting light.) Reason
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 ...
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.
It is sometimes called a dekeract, a portmanteau of tesseract (the 4-cube) and deka-for ten (dimensions) in Greek, It can also be called an icosaronnon or icosa-10-tope as a 10 dimensional polytope, constructed from 20 regular facets. It is a part of an infinite family of polytopes, called hypercubes.
