Runcic 7-cubes explained

In seven-dimensional geometry, a runcic 7-cube is a convex uniform 7-polytope, related to the uniform 7-demicube. There are 2 unique forms.

Runcic 7-cube

A runcic 7-cube, h₃, has half the vertices of a runcinated 7-cube, t_0,3.

The Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of a cantellated demihepteract centered at the origin are coordinate permutations:

(±1,±1,±1,±3,±3,±3,±3)with an odd number of plus signs.

A runcicantic 7-cube, h_2,3, has half the vertices of a runcicantellated 7-cube, t_0,1,3.

The Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of a runcicantic 7-cube centered at the origin are coordinate permutations:

(±1,±1,±1,±1,±3,±5,±5)with an odd number of plus signs.

This polytope is based on the 7-demicube, a part of a dimensional family of uniform polytopes called demihypercubes for being alternation of the hypercube family.

There are 95 uniform polytopes with D₇ symmetry, 63 are shared by the BC₆ symmetry, and 32 are unique:
