Cantic 6-cube
Shape in six-dimensional geometry
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In six-dimensional geometry, a cantic 6-cube (or a truncated 6-demicube) is a uniform 6-polytope.

Cartesian coordinates
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.
