1 42 polytope

In 8-dimensional geometry, the 142 is a uniform 8-polytope, constructed within the symmetry of the E8 group.

Its Coxeter symbol is 142, describing its bifurcating Coxeter-Dynkin diagram, with a single ring on the end of the 1-node sequences.

The rectified 142 is constructed by points at the mid-edges of the 142 and is the same as the birectified 241, and the quadrirectified 421.

These polytopes are part of a family of 255 (28 − 1) convex uniform polytopes in 8 dimensions, made of uniform polytope facets and vertex figures, defined by all non-empty combinations of rings in this Coxeter-Dynkin diagram: .

The 142 is composed of 2400 facets: 240 132 polytopes, and 2160 7-demicubes (141). Its vertex figure is a birectified 7-simplex.

This polytope, along with the demiocteract, can tessellate 8-dimensional space, represented by the symbol 152, and Coxeter-Dynkin diagram: .

The 17280 vertices can be defined as sign and location permutations of:

All sign combinations (32): (280×32=8960 vertices)
