Visualizations

Each can be visualized as symmetric orthographic projections in Coxeter planes of the H4 Coxeter group, and other subgroups.

The 3D picture are drawn as Schlegel diagram projections, centered on the cell at pos. 3, with a consistent orientation, and the 5 cells at position 0 are shown solid.

Coordinates

The coordinates of uniform polytopes from the H4 family are complicated. The regular ones can be expressed in terms of the golden ratio φ = (1 + 5)/2 and σ = (35 + 1)/2. Coxeter expressed them as 5-dimensional coordinates. [1]

n 120-cell 600-cell
4D

The 600 vertices of the 120-cell include all permutations of [2]

(0, 0, ±2, ±2)
(±1, ±1, ±1, ±5)
φ−2, ±φ, ±φ, ±φ)
φ−1, ±φ−1, ±φ−1, ±φ2)

and all even permutations of

(0, ±φ−2, ±1, ±φ2)
(0, ±φ−1, ±φ, ±5)
φ−1, ±1, ±φ, ±2)

The vertices of a 600-cell centered at the origin of 4-space, with edges of length 1/φ (where φ = (1+5)/2 is the golden ratio), can be given as follows: 16 vertices of the form [3]

1/2 (±1, ±1, ±1, ±1),

and 8 vertices obtained from

(0, 0, 0, ±1) by permuting coordinates.

The remaining 96 vertices are obtained by taking even permutations of

1/2φ, ±1, ±1/φ, 0).
