A hecatonicosachoron or 120-cell is a regular polychoron having 120 dodecahedral cells. It has a schläfli symbol of , meaning that 3 dodecahedra join at each edge and four at each vertex. It is the dual of the hexacosichoron.
Under the elemental naming scheme, it is called a cosmochoron.
Structure[]
The hecatonicosachoron has 120 dodecahedral cells. It is possible to split these cells up into twelve decagonal rings swirling around each other.
It can also be viewed in layers, with the pattern of cells per layer going 1, then 21, then 20, then 12 more, then 30, and then back again.
Vertex Coordinates[]
The vertices of a Hecatonicosachoron, of edge length , can be represented by the 4D Cartesian coordinates:
- the vertices of a tesseract, (±1, ±1, ±1, ±1),
- the vertices of a hexacosichoron, being the rotations of (±2, 0, 0, 0), and
- the even permutations of (±ϕ, ±1, ±ϕ-1, 0),
where [1].
