Uniform 1_k2 polytope

In

Family members

The family starts uniquely as

Each polytope is constructed from 1_k-1,2 and (n-1)-demicube facets. Each has a vertex figure of a {3^1,n-2,2} polytope is a birectified n-simplex, t₂{3ⁿ}.

The sequence ends with k=6 (n=10), as an infinite tessellation of 9-dimensional hyperbolic space.

The complete family of 1_k2 polytope polytopes are:

1. 5-cell: 1₀₂, (5 tetrahedral cells)
2. 1₁₂ polytope, (16 5-cell, and 10 16-cell
   facets)
3. demipenteract

4. demihexeract

5. demihepteract
   facets)
6. demiocteract
   facets)
7. demienneract
