Rectified 7-orthoplexes

In seven-dimensional geometry, a rectified 7-orthoplex is a convex uniform 7-polytope, being a rectification of the regular 7-orthoplex. There are unique 7 degrees of rectifications, the zeroth being the 7-orthoplex, and the 6th and last being the 7-cube. Vertices of the rectified 7-orthoplex are located at the edge-centers of the 7-orthoplex. Vertices of the birectified 7-orthoplex are located in the triangular face centers of the 7-orthoplex. Vertices of the trirectified 7-orthoplex are located in the tetrahedral cell centers of the 7-orthoplex. The rectified 7-orthoplex is the vertex figure for the demihepteractic honeycomb. The rectified 7-orthoplex's 84 vertices represent the kissing number of a sphere-packing constructed from this honeycomb. or rectified heptacross rectified hecatonicosoctaexon (Acronym rez) (Jonathan Bowers) - rectified 128-faceted polyexon There are two Coxeter groups associated with the rectified heptacross, one with the C7 or [4,3,3,3,3,3] Coxeter group, and a lower symmetry with two copies of pentacross facets, alternating, with the D7 or [34,1,1] Coxeter group. Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of a rectified heptacross, centered at the origin, edge length are all permutations of: (±1,±1,0,0,0,0,0) Its 84 vertices represent the root vectors of the simple Lie group D7. The vertices can be seen in 3 hyperplanes, with the 21 vertices rectified 6-simplexs cells on opposite sides, and 42 vertices of an expanded 6-simplex passing through the center. When combined with the 14 vertices of the 7-orthoplex, these vertices represent the 98 root vectors of the B7 and C7 simple Lie groups. Birectified heptacross Birectified hecatonicosoctaexon (Acronym barz) (Jonathan Bowers) - birectified 128-faceted polyexon Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of a birectified 7-orthoplex, centered at the origin, edge length are all permutations of: (±1,±1,±1,0,0,0,0) A trirectified 7-orthoplex is the same as a trirectified 7-cube.
