   Extractions: I see the brackets above. They must have some meaning. Is it the set of something?... Ludwig Schlafli, a Swiss, is credited with discovering the regular polytopes in n-dimensional space. He did this ca. 1850. His notation is followed to this day. The five "Platonic solids" in 3-space, which are the only regular *convex* polyhedra, have Schlafli symbols as follows: "Polytope" being the generalization of polygon (a 2-polytope) and polyhedron (a 3-polytope), when we begin to try to characterize what makes a polytope "regular," several criteria become very important: The regular n-polytope must be bounded by regular (n-1)-polytopes; these are called "cells." The cells must be all equal.

   Extractions: and Living in a Hollywood Studio. I have been wondering for some time about when I was going to transcend this life as I know it. Wondering what impact reading books like Bart Kosko's Fuzzy Thinking and The Secret Life of Salvador Dali would have on me. I longed to transcend the clarity of linear black and white thinking and rise above into the fog of not only circular but into spherical thinking. This is about getting a glimpse of transcendence. I'm talking about the "Schlafli Double 6". Ludwig Schlafli was a mathematician. He lived and worked throughout the eighteen hundreds when information was transferred by the written word and delivered by horses and boats. He started out as a translator in the field of mathematics. When the French, Italians, Germans or Americans wanted to share information about mathematics, they took Ludwig along to translate for them. As a result he had the opportunity to learn from the leading mathematicians of his time. Imagine transferring such information from one genius to another. Imagine the skill he must have obtained in understanding new concepts. As a result of this, Schlafli developed some of math's most far reaching theories. Theories with names like The Theory of Manifold Continuity and Euclidean space Rn of n dimensions "Transcending Math", as it were. Schlafli was said by the experts in his field, "to have had the sad misfortune of those who are ahead of their time." Sadly even in the field of mathematics his main theories were "rejected (until after his death) by the academies of Vienna and Berlin because of their great length" . Although he laid the groundwork for the scientific explosions that followed his death.

    Extractions: Polytope is the general term of the sequence, point, segment, polygon, polyhedron, ... So we learn in H.S.M. Coxeter 's wonderful Regular Polytopes (Dover, 1973). When time permits, I may try to provide a systematic approach to higher space. Dimensional analogy is an important tool, when grappling the mysteries of hypercubes and their ilk. But let's start at the beginning, and to simplify matters, and also bring the focus to bear upon the most interesting ramifications of the subject, let us concern ourselves mostly with regular polytopes. You may wish to explore my links to some rather interesting and wonderful polyhedra and polytopes sites, at the bottom of this page. Check out an animated GIF (108K) of an unusual rhombic spirallohedron. Yes, we shall be speaking of the fourth dimension, and, well, the 17th dimension, or for that matter, the millionth dimension. We refer to Euclidean spaces, which are flat, not curved, although such a space may contain curved objects (like circles, spheres, or hyperspheres, which are not polytopes). We are free to adopt various schemes to coordinatize such a space, so that we can specify any point within the space; but let us rely upon Cartesian coordinates, in which a point in an n -space is defined by an n -tuplet of real numbers. These real numbers specify distances from the origins along

    Extractions: A polytope is any convex, geometric figure; they are found in all the dimensions. There are an infinite number of regular polytopes in two dimensions, in which they are known as polygons. Around 200 B.C., Euclid's extraordinaire proved that there are only five regular polyhedra, polytopes in three spatial dimensions: the tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, icosahedron, and the dodecahedron. In 1901, Ludwig Schlafli showed that there are only six regular polychora , or polytopes in hyperspace. One may believe with more dimensions, there are more regular polytopes. However, the fourth dimension is as complex as it gets. This is because each dimension's increasing "freedom" nullifies its complexity. In fact, all higher dimensions each only have three regular polytopes. A Geometric Approach Differentiating between figures in the first few dimensions can be quite a task. One of the simplest ways to view higher dimensions is by slicing. A simple three-dimensional figure, a cube, can be sliced parallel to its sides to give a square, a two-dimensional figure. A hypercube, the cubic equivalent in four dimensions, therefore can be sliced to give cubes. When you take a sheet of paper and look at it from the top, you see a rectangle. If you turn in on its side, you see a line. Between the rectangle and line, you see rhombuses, parallelograms, and other quadrilaterals.
