the quarter-cubic construction[edit]

I don't understand how the VF's symmetry group changes when you tilt the CD symbol. —Tamfang (talk) 01:26, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, it doesn't without clearer markup, but attemping a symmetry implication of the double-bracketing. It should be done via indices on the nodes showing symmetry correspondence. Tom Ruen (talk) 01:53, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

p.s. Here's a markup of the correspondences between Euclidean groups. So if indexed nodes have ring equivalence, they can be raised in symmetry from left to right. Coxeter/Johnson notation has <> for corresponding 2 nodes, and extra [] for a folded doubling. [4[]] is used for a complete cyclic equivalence. Tom Ruen (talk) 20:29, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

My kingdom for a dictionary! No, well, how about my chair?[edit]

And what does cantic mean? —Tamfang (talk) 00:39, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It has to do with the strange linearized halfing Coxeter diagram , which Coxeter calls h₂{4,3,4}, ringing the 3rd node. So cantic means "Cantellated half".

I had seen this before with the polychora, but hadn't seen a definition. I also updated the operational summary at Uniform_polychoron#Geometric_derivations_for_46_nonprismatic_Wythoffian_uniform_polychora.

Here's an example on George's website for : [1]

( )--4--o----(o)----o : Truncated hexadecachoron [as “cantic tesseract” h2{4,3,3}; not counted, duplicate of 17]

My names for uniform figures obtained by Wythoff's construction from regular polychora (4-polytopes) or cellulations (3-honeycombs) {p, q, r} are:
