Cantic 6-cube

In six-dimensional geometry, a cantic 6-cube (or a truncated 6-demicube) is a uniform 6-polytope.

• Truncated 6-demicube
• Truncaced demihexeract
• Truncated hemihexeract (Acronym: thax) (Jonathan Bowers)

The Cartesian coordinates for the 480 vertices of a cantic 6-cube centered at the origin and edge length 6√2 are coordinate permutations:

(±1,±1,±3,±3,±3,±3)

with an odd number of plus signs.

There are 47 uniform polytopes with D₆ symmetry, 31 are shared by the B₆ symmetry, and 16 are unique:
