Summary

Description

A w:6-cube (w:Hexeract) using 6D w:orthographic_projection to a 3D w:Perspective_(visual) object (the w:Rhombic_triacontahedron) (shown here with inner vertices but without inner edges) using the w:Golden ratio φ in the w:basis_vectors. This is used to understand the aperiodic w:Icosahedron structure of w:Quasicrystals. This particular projection is used to understand the structure of w:Quasicrystals.

The specific basis vectors are:

x = {1, φ, 0, -1, φ, 0}
y = {φ, 0, 1, φ, 0, -1}
z = {0, 1, φ, 0, -1, φ}
Edge colors are defined by which of the 6 dimensions the edge aligns with.
