    The pyramid scheme in the picture in contrast is a geometric progression 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 = 15. Many pyramids are more sophisticated than the simple model. These recognize that recruiting a large number of others into a scheme can be difficult, so a seemingly simpler model is used.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_(geometry)

    In the case of the pyramid, one connects all vertices of the base, a polygon in a plane, to a point outside the plane, which is the peak. The pyramid's height is the distance of the peak from the plane. This construction gets generalized to n dimensions. The base becomes a (n − 1)-polytope in a (n − 1)-dimensional hyperplane. A point called ...
