&lt;section begin=&quot;technews-2026-W09&quot;/&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;plainlinks&quot;&gt;
Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2026/09|Translations]] are available.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check/Reference Check|Reference Check]] has been deployed to English Wikipedia, completing its rollout across all Wikipedias. The feature prompts newcomers to add a citation before publishing new content, helping reduce common citation-related reverts and improve verifiability. In A/B testing, the impact was substantial: newcomers shown Reference Check were approximately 2.2 times more likely to include a reference on desktop and about 17.5 times more likely on mobile web. [https://analytics.wikimedia.org/published/reports/editing/reference_check_ab_test_report_final_2025.html]
'''Updates for editors'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:InterwikiSorting|InterwikiSorting extension]], which allowed for the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Interwiki sorting order|sorting of interwiki links]], has been undeployed from Wikipedia. As a result, editors who had enabled interwiki link sorting in non-compact mode (full list format) will now see links reordered. The links moving forward will be listed in the alphabetical order of language code. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T253764]
* Later this week, people who are editing a page-section using the mobile visual editor, will notice a new &quot;Edit full page&quot; button. When tapped, you will be able to edit the entire article. This helps when the change you want to make is outside the section you initially opened. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T387175][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T409112]
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Experience|The Reader Experience team]] is inviting editors to assess whether dark mode should still be considered &quot;beta&quot; on their wiki, based on their experience of how well it functions on desktop and mobile. If the feature is deemed mature, editors can update the interface messages in &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;MediaWiki:skin-theme-description&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;MediaWiki:Vector-night-mode-beta-tag&lt;/code&gt; to indicate that dark mode is ready and no longer considered beta.
* The improved [[mw:Wikimedia_Apps/Team/iOS/Activity_Tab|Activity tab]] which displays user-insights is now available to all users of the Wikipedia iOS app (version 7.9.0 and later). Following earlier A/B testing that showed higher account creation among users with access to the feature, it has been rolled out to 100% of users along with some updates. The Activity tab now shows your edited articles in the timeline, offers editing impact insights like contribution counts and article view trends, and customization options to improve in-app experience for users.
* [[File:Reload icon with two arrows.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:21}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:21|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]]. For example, a bug that prevented [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:DiscussionTools|DiscussionTools]] from working on mobile has now been fixed, restoring full functionality. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T415303]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* The [[m:Special:GlobalWatchlist|Global Watchlist]] lets you view your watchlists from multiple wikis on one page. The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:GlobalWatchlist|extension]] that makes this possible continues to improve. The latest upgrade is the inclusion of a [[mw:Extension:GlobalWatchlist#hook|new hook]], &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;ext.globalwatchlist.rebuild&lt;/code&gt;, which fires after each watchlist rebuild. This allows you to run gadgets and user scripts for the Special page. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T275159]

'''Weekly highlight'''
* Wikipedia 25 [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikipedia 25/Easter egg experiments|Birthday mode]] is now live on Betawi, Breton, Chinese, Czech, Dutch, English, French, Gorontalo, Indonesian, Italian, Luxembourgish, Madurese, Sicilian, Spanish, Thai, and Vietnamese Wikipedias! This limited-time campaign feature celebrates 25 years of Wikipedia with a birthday mascot, Baby Globe. When turned on, Baby Globe is shown on [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikipedia 25/Easter egg experiments/article configuration|~2,500 articles]], waiting to be discovered by readers. Communities can choose to turn Birthday mode on by getting consensus from their community and asking an admin to enable the feature and customize it via [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikipedia 25/Easter egg experiments#Community Configuration Demo|community configuration]] on the local wiki.

'''Updates for editors'''
* [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing|Sub-referencing]], a new feature to re-use references with different details has been released to Swedish Wikipedia, Polish Wikipedia and [[:phab:T418209|a couple of other wikis]]. You can [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing#test|try the feature]] on these projects or on testwiki and [https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmcloud.org/wiki/Sub-referencing betawiki]. Learnings from the first pilot wiki German Wikipedia have been [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing/Learnings|published in a report]]. Reach out to the Wikimedia Deutschland team if you are [[:m:Talk:WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing#Pilot wikis|interested in becoming a pilot wiki]].
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Edit check#Paste check|Paste Check]] will become available at all Wikipedias this week. The feature prompts newcomers who are pasting text they are not likely to have written into VisualEditor to consider whether doing so risks a copyright violation. Paste Check [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check/Tags|tags]] all edits where it is shown for potential review. Local administrators can configure various aspects of the feature via [[{{#special:EditChecks}}]]. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check/Paste Check#A/B Experiment|Research]] across 22 wikis found that Paste Check resulted in an 18% decrease in relative reverted-edits compared to the control group. Translators can [https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&amp;group=ext-visualeditor-ve-mw-editcheck&amp;filter=&amp;optional=1&amp;action=translate help to localize] this and related features.
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Experience|Reader Experience team]] will be standardizing the user menu in the top right for all mobile users so that it is closer to the desktop experience. Currently this user menu is only visible to users with Advanced Mobile Controls (AMC) turned on. The only change is that a couple buttons previously in the left-side menu will move to the top right for users who do not have AMC turned on. This change is expected to go out March 9 and seeks to improve the user interface. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T413912]
* Starting in the week of March 2, the emails sent out when an email address was added, removed, or changed for an account will switch to a substantially nicer and clearer HTML email from the prior plaintext one. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T410807]
* Notifications are currently limited to 2,000 historic entries per user, and extend back to 2013 when the feature was released. This is going to be changed to only store Notifications from the last 5 years, but up to 10,000 of them. This will help with long-term infrastructure health and help to prevent more recent notifications from disappearing too soon. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T383948]
* The [[m:Special:GlobalWatchlist|Global Watchlist]] which lets you view your watchlists from multiple wikis on a single page continues to see improvements. The latest update improves label usage experience. The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:GlobalWatchlist|extension]] now allows activating the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Language#Fallback languages|language fallback system]] for Wikidata items without labels in the viewed language, and showing those labels in the user’s preferred Wikidata language if no &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;uselang=&lt;/code&gt; URL parameter is provided. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T373686][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T416111]
* The Wikipedia Android team has started a beta test of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Information Retrieval/Phase 1|hybrid search]] on Greek Wikipedia. Hybrid search capabilities can handle both semantic and keyword queries enabling readers to find what they’re looking for directly on Wikipedia more easily.
* For security reasons, members of certain user groups are [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Mandatory two-factor authentication for users with some extended rights|required to have two-factor authentication]] (2FA) enabled. Currently, 2FA is required to use the group, but not to be a member of it. Given that this model still has some vulnerabilities, the situation will [[phab:T418580|gradually change in March]]. Members of these groups will be unable to disable last 2FA method on their account, and it will be impossible to add users without 2FA to these groups. Users will still be able to add new authentication methods or remove them, as long as at least one method is continuously enabled. In the second half of March, users without 2FA will be removed from these groups. This applies to: CentralNotice administrators, checkusers, interface administrators, suppressors, Wikidata staff, Wikifunctions staff, WMF Office IT and WMF Trust &amp; Safety. Nothing will change for other users. See the linked task for deployment schedule. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T418580]
* [[File:Reload icon with two arrows.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:27}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:27|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]]. For example, the issue preventing users from creating an instance in [https://www.wikibase.cloud/ Wikibase.cloud] has now been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T416807]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* To help ensure [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/MediaWiki Product Insights/Responsible Reuse|fair use of infrastructure]], over the next month the Wikimedia Foundation will implement global API rate limits across our APIs. In early March, stricter limits will be applied to unidentified requests from outside Toolforge/WMCS and API requests that are made from web browsers. In April, higher limits will be applied to identified traffic. These limits are intentionally set as high as possible to minimise impact on the community. Bots running in Toolforge/WMCS or with the bot user right on any wiki should not be affected for now. However, all developers are advised to follow updated best practices. For more information, see [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia APIs/Rate limits|Wikimedia APIs/Rate limits]].
* The Wikidata Query Service Linked Data Fragment (LDF) endpoint will be decommissioned in February. This endpoint served limited traffic, which was successfully migrated to other data access methods that were better suited to support existing use cases. The hardware used to support the LDF endpoint will be reallocated to support the ongoing backend migration efforts. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T415696]
* The new Parsoid parser [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Updates|continues to be deployed to additional wikis]], improving platform sustainability and making it easier to introduce new reading and editing features. Parsoid is now the default parser on 488 WMF wikis (268 Wikipedias), now covering more than 10% of all Wikipedia page views.
* The process and criteria for [[Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Enterprise#Access|requesting exceptional access]] to the high volume feed of the ''Wikimedia Enterprise'' APIs (at no cost for mission-aligned usecases), [[m:Talk:Wikimedia Enterprise#Exceptional access criteria|have now been published]]. This is to provide more thorough and clearer documentation for users.
* [https://techblog.wikimedia.org/ Tech Blog], the blog dedicated to the Wikimedia technical community [https://techblog.wikimedia.org/2026/02/24/a-tech-blog-diff/ will be migrating] to [[diffblog:|Diff]], the community news and event blog. The migration should be complete in April 2026, after which new posts will be accepted for publishing.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/Server switch|All wikis will be read-only]] for a few minutes on Wednesday, 25 March 2026 at [https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1774450800 15:00 UTC]. This is for the datacenter server switchover backup tests, [[wikitech:Deployments/Yearly calendar|which happen twice a year]]. During the switchover, all Wikimedia website traffic is shifted from one primary data center to the backup data center to test availability and prevent service disruption even in emergencies.
* Last week, all wikis had 2 hours of read-only time, and extended unavailability for user-scripts and gadgets. This was due to a security incident which has since been resolved. Work is ongoing to prevent re-occurrences. For current information please see the [[m:Steward's noticeboard#Statement on Meta about today's user script security incident|post on the Stewards' noticeboard]] ([[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation/Product and Technology/Product Safety and Integrity/March 2026 User Script Incident|translations]]).

'''Updates for editors'''
* Users facing multiple blocks on mobile will now see the reasons for each block separately, instead of a generic message. This helps them understand why they are blocked and what steps they can take to resolve the issue. For example, users affected for using common VPNs (such as [[Special:MyLanguage/Apple iCloud Private Relay|iCloud Private Relay]]) will receive clearer guidance on what they need to do to start editing again. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T357118]
* Later this week, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/VisualEditor/Suggestion Mode|Suggestion Mode]] will become available as a beta feature within the visual editor at all Wikipedias. This feature proactively suggests various types of actions that people can consider taking to improve Wikipedia articles, and learn about related guidelines. The feature is locally configurable, and can also be locally expanded with custom Suggestions. Current settings can be seen at [[Special:EditChecks]] and there are [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Suggestion mode#For administrators %E2%80%93 local customization|instructions for how administrators can customize]] the links to point to local guidelines. The feature is connected to [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Edit check|Edit check]] which suggests improvements while someone is writing new content. In the future, the Editing team plans to evaluate the feature's impact with newcomers through a controlled experiment. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T404600]
* [[File:Reload icon with two arrows.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:23}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:23|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]]. For example, the issue where the cursor became misaligned during the use of CodeMirror’s syntax highlighting, which makes wikitext and code easier to read, has now been fixed. This problem specifically affected users who defined a font rule in a custom stylesheet while creating a new topic with DiscussionTools. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T418793]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* API rate limiting update: To help ensure [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/MediaWiki Product Insights/Responsible Reuse|fair use of infrastructure]], global API rate limits will be applied this week to requests without a compliant User-Agent that originate from outside Toolforge/WMCS and to unauthenticated requests made from web browsers. Higher limits will be applied to identified traffic in April. Bots running in Toolforge/WMCS or with the bot user right on any wiki should not be affected for now. However, all developers are advised to follow updated best practices. For more information, see [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia APIs/Rate limits|Wikimedia APIs/Rate limits]].
* The new GraphQL API has been released. The API was developed as a flexible alternative to select features of the Wikidata Query Service (WDQS), to improve developer experience and foster adaptability, and efficient data access. Try it out and [[d:Wikidata:Wikibase GraphQL#Feedback and development|give feedback]]. You can also [https://greatquestion.co/wikimediadeutschland/GraphQLAPI/apply sign up for usability tests].
* The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Product and Technology Advisory Council/Unsupported Tools Working Group|PTAC Unsupported Tools Working Group]] continued improvements to [[commons:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Video2commons#|Video2Commons]] in February, with fixes addressing authentication errors, large-file handling, task queue visibility, and clearer upload behavior. Work is still ongoing in some areas, including changes related to deprecated server-side uploads. Read [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Product and Technology Advisory Council/Unsupported Tools Working Group#February 2026|this update]] to learn more.

'''Updates for editors'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CodeMirror|{{int:codemirror-beta-feature-title}}]] beta feature, also known as [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:CodeMirror|CodeMirror 6]], has been used for wikitext syntax highlighting since November 2024. It will be promoted out of beta by May 2026 in order to bring improvements and new [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CodeMirror#Features|features]] to all editors who use the standard syntax highlighter. If you have any questions or concerns about promoting the feature out of beta, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help talk:Extension:CodeMirror|please share]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T259059]
* Some changes to local user groups are performed by stewards on Meta-Wiki and logged there only. Now, interwiki rights changes will be logged both on Meta-Wiki and the wiki of the target user to make it easier to access a full record of user's rights changes on a local wiki. Past log entries for such changes will be backfilled in the coming weeks. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T6055]
* On wikis using [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Flagged Revisions|Flagged Revisions]], the number of pending changes shown on [[{{#Special:PendingChanges}}]] previously counted pages which were no longer pending review, because they have been removed from the system without being reviewed, e.g. due to being deleted, moved to a different namespace, or due to wiki configuration changes. The count will be correct now. On some wikis the number shown will be much smaller than before. There should be no change to the list of pages itself. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T413016]
* Wikifunctions composition language has been rewritten, resulting in a new version of the language. This change aims to increase service stability by reducing the orchestrator's memory consumption. This rewrite also enables substantial latency reduction, code simplification, and better abstractions, which will open the door to later feature additions. Read more about [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Status updates/2026-03-11|the changes]].
* Users can now sort search results alphabetically by page title. The update gives an additional option to finding pages more easily and quickly. Previously, results could be sorted by Edit date, Creation date, or Relevance. To use the new option, open 'Advanced Search' on the search results page and select 'Alphabetically' under 'Sorting Order'. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T403775]
* [[File:Reload icon with two arrows.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:28}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:28|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]]. For example, the bug that prevented UploadWizard on Wikimedia Commons from importing files from Flickr has now been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T419263]
'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* A new special page, [[{{#special:LintTemplateErrors}}]], has been created to list transcluded pages that are flagged as containing lint errors to help users discover them easily. The list is sorted by the number of transclusions with errors. For example: [[{{#special:LintTemplateErrors}}/night-mode-unaware-background-color]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T170874]
* Users of the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CodeMirror|{{int:codemirror-beta-feature-title}}]] beta feature have been using [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:CodeMirror|CodeMirror]] instead of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:CodeEditor|CodeEditor]] for syntax highlighting when editing JavaScript, CSS, JSON, Vue and Lua content pages, for some time now. Along with promoting CodeMirror 6 out of beta, the plan is to replace CodeEditor as the standard editor for these content models by May 2026. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help talk:Extension:CodeMirror|Feedback or concerns are welcome]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T419332]
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:CodeMirror|CodeMirror]] JavaScript modules will soon be upgraded to CodeMirror 6. Leading up to the upgrade, loading the &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;ext.CodeMirror&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;ext.CodeMirror.lib&lt;/code&gt; modules from gadgets and user scripts was deprecated in July 2025. The use of the &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;ext.CodeMirror.switch&lt;/code&gt; hook was also deprecated in March 2025. Contributors can now make their scripts or gadgets compatible with CodeMirror 6. See the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:CodeMirror#Gadgets and user scripts|migration guide]] for more information. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T373720]
* The MediaWiki Interfaces team is expanding coverage of REST API module definitions to include [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:REST API/Extensions|extension APIs]]. REST API modules are groups of related endpoints that can be independently managed and versioned. Modules now exist for [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T414470 GrowthExperiments] and [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T419053 Wikifunctions] APIs. As we migrate extension APIs to this structure, documentation will move out of the main MediaWiki OpenAPI spec and REST Sandbox view, and will instead be accessible via module-specific options in the dropdown on the [https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:RestSandbox REST Sandbox] (i.e., [[{{#Special:RestSandbox}}]], available on all wiki projects).
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Scribunto|Scribunto]] extension provides different pieces of information about the wiki where the module is being used via the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Scribunto/Lua reference manual|mw.site]] library. Starting last week, the library also provides a [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Scribunto/Lua reference manual#mw.site.wikiId|way]] of accessing the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Wiki ID|wiki ID]] that can be used to facilitate cross-wiki module maintenance.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* Wikimedia site users can now log in without a password using passkeys. This is a secure method supported by fingerprint, facial recognition, or PIN. With this change, all users who opt for passwordless login will find it easier, faster, and more secure to log in to their accounts using any device. The new passkey login option currently appears as an autofill suggestion in the username field. An additional [[phab:T417120|&quot;Log in with passkey&quot; button]] will soon be available for users who have already registered a passkey. This update will improve security and user experience. The [[c:File:Passwordless_login_screencast.webm|screen recording]] demonstrates the passwordless login process step by step.
* [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/Server switch|All wikis will be read-only]] for a few minutes on Wednesday, 25 March 2026 at [https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1774450800 15:00 UTC]. This is for the datacenter server switchover backup tests, [[wikitech:Deployments/Yearly calendar|which happen twice a year]]. During the switchover, all Wikimedia website traffic is shifted from one primary data center to the backup data center to test availability and prevent service disruption even in emergencies.

'''Updates for editors'''
* Wikimedia site users can now export their notifications older than 5 years using a [[toolforge:echo-chamber|new Toolforge tool]]. This will ensure that users retain their important notifications and avoid them being lost based on the planned change to delete notifications older than 5 years, as previously announced. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T383948]
* Wikipedia editors in Indonesian, Thai, Turkish, and Simple English now have access to Special:PersonalDashboard. This is an [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Moderator Tools/Dashboard|early version of an experience]] that introduces newer editors to patrolling workflows, making it easier for them to move from making edits to participating in more advanced moderation work on their project. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T402647]
* The [[Special:Block]] now has two minor interface changes. Administrators can now easily perform indefinite blocks through a dedicated radio button in the expiry section. Also, choosing an indefinite expiry provides a different set of common reasons to select from, which can be changed at: [[MediaWiki:Ipbreason-indef-dropdown]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T401823]
* Mobile editors [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Contributors/Account Creation Experiments#Logged-out|at several wikis]] can now see an improved logged-out edit warning, thanks to the recent updates from the Growth team. These changes released last week are part of ongoing efforts and tests to enhance [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Contributors/Account Creation Experiments|account creation experience on mobile]] and then increase participation.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* The Beta version of [[abstract:|Abstract Wikipedia]] a new Wikimedia project which is language-independent, was launched last week. The project allows communities to build Wikipedia articles in their native language, which can be readily accessed by other users in their own languages. The wiki is powered by instructions from Wikifunctions and also based on structured content from Wikidata. [[:f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Status updates/2026-03-26|Read more]].

'''Updates for editors'''
* The Growth team is running an A/B test to evaluate a clearer, more user-friendly message that promotes account creation on wikis. Currently when logged-out mobile users begin editing, they see a jarring warning message that can feel abrupt and discouraging. This also presents temporary account editing as the default rather than encouraging account creation. The test is running on ten Wikipedias, including Arabic, French, Spanish and German. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Contributors/Account Creation Experiments#2. Improve logged-out warning message (T415160)|Read more]].
* The Wikimedia Apps team is inviting feedback on [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Future of Editing on the Mobile Apps|how editing should work on the Wikipedia mobile apps]]. The discussion focuses on improving how users access editing tools when they tap &quot;Edit&quot;. This is part of a broader effort to convert readers who develop an interest in editing, to access a more user-friendly pathway to start contributing.

* The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing|sub-referencing feature]], which lets editors add details to an existing reference without duplicating it, will be gradually rolled out to [[phab:T414094|more wikis]] later this year. Wikis using the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reference Tooltips|Reference Tooltips]] gadget are encouraged to update their version (typically at [[m:MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js|MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js]] as shown [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1344408362 here]) to ensure compatibility. Other reference-related gadgets may also be affected. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T416304]
* All Wikinews editions will be closed and switched to read-only mode on 4 May 2026. Content will remain accessible, but no new edits or articles can be added. This closure was approved by the Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation following extended discussions. [[m:Wikimedia Foundation Board noticeboard#Board of Trustees Approves Closure of Wikinews|Read more]].
* The [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Action API|Action API]] has had several formats for requested output. One of them, &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;format=php&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt;, is being removed soon. Please ensure your scripts or bots use the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Data formats#Output|JSON format]]. This removal should affect very few scripts and bots. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T118538]
* The [[Special:NamespaceInfo|Special:NamespaceInfo]] page now includes namespace aliases. For example &quot;WP&quot; for the &quot;Project&quot; (&quot;Wikipedia&quot;) namespace on the German Wikipedia. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T381455]

'''Updates for editors'''
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Experience/WE3.3.4 Reading lists|Reading lists]] is a feature which allows readers to save articles to a list for reading later. This feature is now in beta on Arabic, French, Indonesian, Vietnamese, and Chinese Wikipedias and by default for all new accounts on all Wikipedias.
* An experiment which explores extending [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Growth/Mobile page previews|Page Previews to mobile web]] will be launched in the week of April 20 on Arabic, English, French, Italian, Polish, and Vietnamese Wikipedias. Page Previews are pop-ups that display a thumbnail, lead paragraph, and a link to open the full article of a blue link, thereby improving content discovery. The feature is already available on desktop and in the apps. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/List of experiments in Product and Technology#Template|Read more about this experiment and others]].
* On several wikis, logged-in editors who haven't [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Email confirmation|confirmed their email addresses]] can now see a banner encouraging them to do so. Having the email address confirmed allows a user to restore access to the account if they lose it.

[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T184857]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* As part of the promotion of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CodeMirror|CodeMirror]] from a beta feature, all users will use [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:CodeMirror|CodeMirror]] instead of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:CodeEditor|CodeEditor]] for syntax highlighting when editing JavaScript, CSS, JSON, Vue and Lua content pages. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T419332]
* The &lt;code&gt;mirrors.wikimedia.org&lt;/code&gt; service for Debian and Ubuntu users will sunset and stop working on May 15. The resources for the service will be replaced with new and better options. Some users may need to switch to a different server which should take about a minute.

* Following the recent implementation of global API rate limits on unidentified traffic, the Wikimedia Foundation will continue efforts to ensure [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/MediaWiki Product Insights/Responsible Reuse|fair use of infrastructure]] by applying global limits to identified API traffic beginning the last week of April. These limits are intentionally set as high as possible to minimise impact on the community. Bots running in Toolforge/WMCS or with the bot user right on any wiki should not be affected for now. However, all developers are advised to follow updated best practices. For more information, see [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia APIs/Rate limits|Wikimedia APIs/Rate limits]] and [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia APIs/Rate limits/FAQ|Frequently Asked Questions]].
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Attribution API|Attribution API]] is now available as a [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia APIs/Stability policy|beta]]. The API fetches information for crediting Wikimedia articles and media files wherever they are used. Reference documentation is available through the REST Sandbox special page available on all Wikimedia wikis (such as the [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?api=attribution.v0-beta&amp;title=Special%3ARestSandbox REST sandbox on English Wikipedia]). Share your feedback on the [[mw:Talk:Attribution API|project talk page]].
* There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

'''Updates for editors'''
* There is a change in how new users are autoconfirmed that will improve anti-vandalism protection. Currently, users who have had an account for a few days and made a few edits are automatically added to the [[{{int:grouppage-autoconfirmed/{{CONTENTLANGUAGE}}}}|{{int:group-autoconfirmed}}]] group. This configuration tends to be exploited by some vandals, who create accounts and start to use them only after some time. To mitigate this, the configuration will be updated next week so that – for the purpose of becoming autoconfirmed – the account age will be counted from their first edit, instead of registration date. The numeric value of the age threshold will remain the same. This change will be deployed only to wikis which require at least one edit as part of the autoconfirmation conditions. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T418484]
* All Wikipedia users with new accounts and those who activated the &quot;automatically enable most beta features&quot; option in their preference can now use the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Experience/WE3.3.4 Reading lists|reading lists]] beta feature to save articles for later reading. This helps organize reading interests in one place for convenient access.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Article guidance|Article guidance]] team invites experienced editors of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Article guidance/Pilot wikis and collaborators|pilot Wikipedias]]—Arabic, Bangla, Japanese, Portuguese, Persian, Turkish, Simple English, Spanish, and French—to help translate and adapt [https://b24e11a4f1.catalyst.wmcloud.org/wiki/Category:Pages_using_article_guidance sample outlines]. These outlines will guide editors in creating clear, well-structured, and policy-compliant articles when using [https://b24e11a4f1.catalyst.wmcloud.org/wiki/Special:NewArticle the feature] once it is launched in May 2026. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Article guidance#Adapting a sample outline in a Wikipedia|Simple instructions]] on how to translate and adapt the outlines are available.
'''Updates for editors'''
* The [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Product and Technology Advisory Council|Product and Technology Advisory Council]] has published [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Product and Technology Advisory Council/May 2026 draft PTAC recommendation for feedback|draft recommendations]] on a model that affiliates can follow when contributing to the technical space. Community members are invited to provide feedback on the recommendation until May 8th [[:m:Talk:Product and Technology Advisory Council/May 2026 draft PTAC recommendation for feedback|on the talk page]].
* The number of available thumbnail size preferences in MediaWiki is being reduced to three standardized options—Small (180px), Regular (250px), and Large (400px), as part of ongoing efforts to improve performance and reduce strain on thumbnail services. As a result, existing preferences will be mapped to the nearest new size (for example, smaller selections like 120px or 150px will render at 180px, while larger ones like 300px or 360px will render at 400px). The preferences interface will soon be updated to reflect these changes, and users who wish to opt out or provide feedback can do so. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T424909]
* From now on, even when a permission expires automatically, users will receive an Echo notification similar to the standard notification for permission changes. There is a difference between this and [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Global reminder bot|Global reminder bot]] in that the latter reminds users a week ''before'' the rights are due to expire, so that they can renew the rights.

For example, the problem where the ULS language selector in [[m:Special:Translate|Special:Translate]] would scroll vertically when it shouldn't, has been resolved. Previously, when users opened the &quot;Translate to English&quot; dropdown and typed certain inputs, the dialog would scroll vertically by a few pixels even when there was enough space to display all results. The dropdown no longer shifts unnecessarily when filtering languages. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T358864] 
* The [[m:Special:GlobalWatchlist|Global Watchlist]], which lets you view your watchlists from multiple wikis on a single page, continues to improve. For example, watchlists for Wikibase sites such as [[:d:|Wikidata]] now support [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:EntitySchema|EntitySchema]] elements for better tracking. The Live Updates mode now refreshes the special page every 60 seconds to comply with the updated [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia APIs/Rate limits|global API rate limits]] for improved real-time responsiveness. Additionally, a directionality bug that displayed links as &quot;changes 3&quot; instead of &quot;3 changes&quot; in mixed-direction lists has been fixed.

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* The second phase of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia APIs/Rate limits|global API rate limits]] has been rolled out to reduce the [[diffblog:2026/03/26/quo-vadis-crawlers-progress-and-whats-next-on-safeguarding-our-infrastructure/|impact of AI crawlers]] and ensure fair, sustainable access to Wikimedia resources, prioritising human and mission-aligned traffic. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia APIs/Rate limits#Limits|Limits]] have been shifted from per-hour to per-minute, producing smoother traffic patterns and more predictable API load. Community users are not expected to be affected, and no action is required. Early indications show some User-Agent-based requestors are adjusting behaviour, and around 64% of automated API traffic has been identified. Monitoring continues, and Wikimedia Enterprise remains available for commercial support.

* The Reader Growth team is launching an experiment to test a new [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader_Growth/Share_Card|Share Card feature]] that allows readers to create visually engaging cards from Wikipedia articles or selected article sections and share them online, with each card linking back to the original article to help expand readership and article discovery. The mobile-only A/B test will be available to a portion of readers on Arabic, Chinese, French, Vietnamese, and English Wikipedia to better understand reading and sharing habits, and is scheduled to begin the week of May 18 and run for four weeks.
* The Android and iOS Wikipedia apps recently released the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Apps/Team/25th_Birthday_Reading_Challenge|25-day reading challenge]] into Beta, as part of efforts to drive reader engagement by encouraging users to complete reading milestones. To track their reading streak during the challenge, App users can add a widget featuring Baby Globe to their home screen. The challenge officially begins May 11.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* The Abstract Wikipedia team has identified five potential pilot wikis to assess their interest in adopting abstract articles on their wikis. The pilots are Malayalam, Bengali, Dagbani, Arabic, and Indonesian Wikipedia. The feedback period will be open until May 22. If your community is interested in becoming a pilot, [[m:Talk:Abstract Wikipedia|let us know on Meta]].

'''Updates for editors'''
* An experiment to show [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Experience/Reading lists|Reading Lists]] to logged-out readers on mobile web will launch on May 18 across German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Dutch, Turkish, and Urdu Wikipedias, and will run for one month. The effort supports broader goals of helping readers save and organize articles for later reading, while encouraging habits that could lead to future Wikipedia contributions.
* To support a bookmark button in the Reading List beta feature, the &quot;Tools &gt; Action&quot; menu has been updated to display icons, including the watch star indicator that helps editors identify temporarily watched articles. The icons now also match those used on mobile, improving consistency across platforms. The change is currently limited to the actions menu and mainly affects editors with privileged user rights. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T426008]
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/VisualEditor/Suggestion Mode|Suggestion Mode]] was released as an [[w:en:A/B test|A/B test]] for newcomer editors on the mobile website at [[phab:T421189|~15 Wikipedias]]. The experiment will measure the impact that Suggestion Mode has on the proportion of newcomer mobile web edit sessions that result in constructive (un-reverted) article edits. The experiment will also evaluate the feature's impact on editor retention, and monitor changes in revert and block rates.

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata Platform|Wikidata Platform team]] has published its [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:SPARQL query service/WDQS backend update/Backend Replacement|backend replacement recommendation]] and accompanying [[wikitech:Wikidata Query Service/WDQS Architecture re-design|technical architecture]] for the migration of the Wikidata Query Service (WDQS) away from Blazegraph. Feedback is invited until May 25th 2026, especially on potential gaps and impacts on advanced use cases. Wikidata community members and WDQS users are also encouraged to help identify high-impact tools and workflows that may need attention on [[d:Wikidata:SPARQL query service/WDQS backend update/High-Impact Use Cases|this page]]. Feedback can be shared on the [[d:Wikidata talk:SPARQL query service/WDQS backend update|Migration talk page]] or during the [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Blazegraph Migration Office Hours|next office hour]].

* On English, French, Japanese, and a few other Wikipedias, there was a [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|trial of hCaptcha]], a third-party bot detection service. The trial showed that hCaptcha effectively detects and deters some bad-faith automated activity, on its own and by giving [[w:en:Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)/Archive 225#Introducing SuggestedInvestigations|checkusers and stewards]] signals to look into. Because the results were positive, hCaptcha will be rolled out across all wikis over the next few weeks. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha|See the hCaptcha project page]] for technical information about the implementation and privacy protections.

* The latest Community Tech update is now available, with progress across several Community Wishlist initiatives, including Reading Lists expansion from the mobile app to the website, new language support for &quot;Who Wrote That&quot; and the Personal Dashboard, improvements to 3D rendering and Charts, and upcoming work on talk page sorting, audio playback, and editing workflows. The update also shares current priorities, wishlist status trends, and opportunities for community feedback on future focus areas and the Wikimedia Foundation’s 2026–2027 Annual Plan.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* Following a [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Contributors/Account Creation Experiments#LOWM|successful account creation experiment]], an improved logged-out edit warning message will be deployed to all Wikimedia wikis in the first week of June. The change will only affect logged-out users on mobile web who open an editing session. The updated experience is designed to encourage account creation more clearly, while still allowing users to edit with temporary accounts. Results from the experiment showed a significant increase in account creation, with a 27% relative lift among users shown the updated message. As expected, as more people funnel into account creation, temporary accounts decreased by a relative 16%. The experiment did not show any significant changes in constructive edit rates or other monitored contributor metrics. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T424595] 

'''Updates for editors'''
* For security reasons, members of certain user groups are [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Mandatory two-factor authentication for users with some extended rights|required to have two-factor authentication]] (2FA) enabled. Members of these groups will be unable to disable the last 2FA method on their account, and it will be impossible to add users without 2FA to these groups. Users will still be able to add new authentication methods or remove them, as long as at least one method is continuously enabled. In the next few weeks, users without 2FA will be removed from these groups. Notably, this applies to bureaucrats. See the linked tasks for deployment schedules. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T423119][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T423120]
* [[m:Special:MyLanguage/WMDE Technical Wishes|WMDE Technical Wishes]] will run an [[w:en:A/B testing|A/B test]] on [[:phab:T415904|10 wikis]], testing [[m:WMDE Technical Wishes/References/Reference Previews|potential improvements for Reference Previews]]. The experiment will run for ~2 weeks at the end of May / beginning of June and will affect 10% of desktop readers on the participating wikis.
* After two successful experiments, the Reader Growth team is rolling out an [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Growth/Image Browsing|Image Browsing]] beta feature for all Wikipedias on mobile on May 25. This means that anyone who has all beta features on by default will start to see this feature, and others can check the box to turn it on in their preferences. The beta feature will include a carousel of all an article's images at the top of the article, with controls for editors to [[mw:Readers/Reader_Growth/Image_Browsing#Phase_2.1_beta_feature|exclude images from the article's carousel or to exclude an article from the feature entirely]].

Projects relying on these classes are encouraged to review related usage and plan for migration. Please note that &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;floatleft&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; and &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;floatright&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; may also be deprecated in future, although there are currently no plans to do so.

The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Experience/Reading lists#Experiment timeline|experiment]] was launched on May 18th on German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Dutch, Turkish, and Urdu wikis, and it will run for a month.
* The Wikimedia Apps team released [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Explore Feed Refresh/Phase 1|Phase 1]] of the redesigned Home Feed to the Android Beta app. The new Home Feed includes a refreshed &quot;Community&quot; tab and a personalized &quot;For You&quot; tab featuring daily updated reading recommendations.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* Wikimedia Enterprise has increased the free usage limits for its API offerings. The monthly request limit for the On-demand API has increased from 5,000 to 50,000 requests, while the Snapshot API limit has increased from 15 to 30 requests per month. In addition, Structured Contents snapshots are now available for free accounts. These changes expand access to Wikimedia Enterprise data for developers, researchers, and organizations using Wikimedia content. [https://enterprise.wikimedia.com/blog/enhanced-free-api]

'''Updates for editors'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Apps/Team/Explore Feed Refresh/Phase 1|refreshed Explore Feed]], now called the Home Feed, is rolling out to 50% of users of the Wikipedia Android app. The Home Feed helps readers discover relevant content through two new tabs: ''Community'' and ''For You''. The Community tab provides a scrollable feed of curated content and updates from the broader Wikimedia community and movement, while the ''For You'' tab offers a full-screen, swipeable experience that shows content tailored to a user's interests. The redesign is part of a broader effort to improve discovery and enhance the learning experience in the Wikipedia app.
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/iOS/&quot;Which came first?&quot; Game|Which came first?]] daily trivia game is now available in the beta version of the Wikipedia iOS app in English, German, French, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, and Turkish. The game uses historical events from Wikipedia's &quot;On This Day&quot; content and challenges readers to guess which of two events happened first. The game was previously released on Android. Communities interested in making the game available in their languages can [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Apps/Team/Games#Game availability by language|read the instructions and requirements]].
* [[m:Special:MyLanguage/WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing|Sub-referencing]], a new MediaWiki feature that allows editors to reuse references with different details, will begin rolling out to Wikimedia wikis following a successful pilot phase. Deployment will start on 8 June for most [[wikitech:Deployments/Train#Wednesday|Group 1 wikis]] and French Wikipedia, with additional Wikipedia language editions receiving the feature over the coming months. Communities are encouraged to prepare by checking for [https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&amp;group=ext-cite&amp;language=en&amp;action_source=search&amp;filter=%21translated&amp;optional=1&amp;action=translate untranslated Cite extension messages] in their language and reviewing any use of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reference Tooltips|Reference Tooltips]], which may require [[:phab:T416304#11668731|updates]] to support the new functionality. Wikis using [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Reference Previews|Reference Previews]] do not need to take any action. Communities may also wish to create the ''cite-tracking-category-ref-details'' [[Special:TrackingCategories|tracking category]] as a hidden category using &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;__HIDDENCAT__&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; (or a dedicated template), and connect it to the corresponding Wikidata item [[d:Q129764848]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T425662]
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Growth/Mobile page previews#Experimentation|Page Previews experiment]] on mobile web has concluded. The team decided not to roll out the feature after the results showed no statistically significant impact on reader retention, as the primary success metric was retention improvement. Page Previews, which are already available on desktop and in the apps, display a thumbnail, lead paragraph, and link to the full article when readers tap a blue link. The experiment tested this experience on mobile web across six Wikipedias.
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Codex/Design/Icons|user interface icon library]] will be [[phab:T399175|updated later this week or next week]]. Most of the ~300 icons have been slightly refined and ~30 new icons have been added. These changes improve the icons to make them more consistent and comprehensible, and provide more visual balance when they are used in groups.
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Universal Language Selector|Universal Language Selector]] (ULS) interface in MediaWiki, which helps users select content in other languages, has been updated. The new version improves speed and accessibility, and users of Wikimedia projects can now pin languages for quicker language switching. The deployment to Wikimedia sites will happen gradually in the coming weeks. You can test it now as a beta feature by selecting [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures|beta features]] in your profile preferences and share your feedback on [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Universal Language Selector/New ULS|the project page]].

Developers can now pass a configuration object instead of a list of positional parameters when creating portlet links. The previous function signature remains supported for backwards compatibility. For example, instead of: &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;mw.util.addPortletLink('p-cactions', '#', 'Stub', 'ca-stubtag', 'Add a stub tag to this page');&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; use &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;mw.util.addPortletLink('p-cactions', { href: '#', text: 'Stub', id: 'ca-stubtag', tooltip: 'Add a stub tag to this page' });&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt;. Script maintainers are encouraged to review existing uses of &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;addPortletLink()&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; and update them where appropriate.

* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Growth|Reader Growth team]] has launched an [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Growth/Image Browsing|Image Browsing]] beta feature on the mobile web version of all Wikipedias. The feature shows an image carousel at the top of articles with 3 or more images. Editors can configure this feature with the following controls: to hide a specific image from a page, either use &lt;code&gt;class=notpageimage&lt;/code&gt; excluding it from thumbnail previews, or &lt;code&gt;class=noviewer&lt;/code&gt; excluding it from MediaViewer. The carousel can also be disabled from a page entirely, with the magic word &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;__NOMEDIAVIEWERCAROUSEL__&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;. To submit feedback or flag bugs, please visit the [[mw:Talk:Readers/Reader Growth/Image Browsing|project page]].

Previously, by default, clicking a column header for the first time sorts it in ascending order. This addition to a Wikitable gives it more control and flexibility, while the default behavior for subsequent clicks remains unchanged. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T398416]

'''Updates for editors'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Article guidance|Article guidance]] feature is currently being tested with some editors creating new articles on the Simple English, French, and Turkish Wikipedias. The experiment will soon begin on the Arabic and Bangla Wikipedias as well. [[w:simple:Special:NewArticle|This feature]] gives editors community-curated guidance to help them create articles that follow community standards. Experienced editors can continue creating or adapting outlines for specific article types that are commonly created by less experienced contributors. The outlines guide less experienced editors in creating high-quality articles.

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* By the end of June, a valid user-agent string will be required for automated dumps downloads from the dumps.wikimedia.org website. Automated requests that provide a generic or empty user-agent will be blocked. This [[phab:T400119|extends enforcement]] of the long standing [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|user-agent policy]]. Access to dumps through Wikimedia Cloud Services will not change.
* The roll out of global [[mw:Wikimedia APIs/Rate limits|API rate limits]] is now complete, with limits enforced across all APIs and at the documented levels for all groups. Bots running in Toolforge/WMCS or with the bot user right on any wiki remain exempt. All bots should continue to follow the documented best practices to avoid being rate limited.
* The [https://api.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page API Portal wiki] will be read only starting this week (June 15-18). The following week (June 22-25), all API Portal wiki URLs will redirect to [[mw:Wikimedia APIs|Wikimedia APIs on mediawiki.org]]. Learn more on the [[wikitech:API Portal/Deprecation|project page]].

'''Weekly highlight'''
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Growth/Feature summary|Growth features]] are [[phab:T418115|now available at Wikidata]]. This update enables access to Mentorship ([[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Growth/Mentorship|if configured]]), Impact module, the Help Panel, and a simplified Newcomer Homepage (without Suggested Edits). Wikidata administrators are still configuring the features through Community Configuration.

'''Updates for editors'''
* The special page [[{{#special:RangeCalculator}}]] has been created. It allows users to find an IP range without needing to rely on external tools. Until now, this tool was only available to CheckUsers. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T268429]
* [[m:Special:MyLanguage/WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing|Sub-referencing]] is a new MediaWiki feature that allows editors to reuse references with different details. It will be deployed to most small and medium-sized Wikipedia language versions on June 23. The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing#deployment|FAQ]] lists possible actions to take on your wiki to support the deployment. Check the [[:phab:T414094|rollout plan]] for the next deployment steps. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T428902]
* Starting next week, users will get a notification when they are blocked or unblocked from editing, or if this block changes. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T100974]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Starting next week, abuse filters that are set to &quot;require CAPTCHA verification&quot; will begin to also affect users with the &lt;code&gt;skipcaptcha&lt;/code&gt; right, which includes most autoconfirmed users. Bots are exempted. This change only affects edits that trigger an abuse filter. The &lt;code&gt;skipcaptcha&lt;/code&gt; right will continue to exempt users from having to solve CAPTCHAs in the ordinary course of using the wikis. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T402595]

'''Updates for editors'''
* As part of the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Contributors/Account Creation Experiments|Account Creation Experiments]], the Growth team tested adding a user account icon in the mobile web header for logged-out users, providing direct access to &quot;Create account&quot; and &quot;Log in&quot; actions. The experiment increased account creation by about 20% without negatively affecting edit quality or constructive edit rates. The feature will now be rolled out to all Wikimedia Foundation wikis on mobile web in the first week of July. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T428220]
* After a [[phab:T426248|successful experiment]], logged-in users who did not [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Email_confirmation|confirm their email address]] when their account was created see a new banner asking them to complete that process. This helps reduce the risk that users get locked out of their account, and makes account email addresses overall more reliable. This is part of the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Product Safety and Integrity/Account Security|Account Security]] project. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T428292]
* An update to [[Special:Search|Search]] is refining how the &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;-prefix:&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; behaves when used to exclude results. Previously, using &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;-prefix:&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; with negation could unintentionally broaden search results by adding the namespaces included in the search scope, leading to confusing behavior for users expecting a straightforward exclusion filter. With the update, &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;-prefix:&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; will now strictly exclude matching page titles as intended and may display a warning if the relevant namespace has not been explicitly selected. The behavior of &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;prefix:&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; without negation however remains unchanged.

Reviewers will now receive notifications when someone replies to those discussions. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T329346]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Starting June 29th, automated downloads from the dumps.wikimedia.org website will be subject to the [[Foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|user-agent policy]]. Automated requests that provide a generic or empty user-agent will be blocked. Access to dumps through Wikimedia Cloud Services remains unaffected.

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* In preparation for [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Event:Celebrate Women|Celebrate Women campaign]] planned for March 2027, the Wikimedia Foundation’s [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation/Advancement/Community Growth/Content Enablement|Content Enablement team]] has launched a 22-question survey to better understand technical contributions by women+ (anyone who identifies as a woman) across Wikimedia projects. The survey takes approximately 15–20 minutes to complete and will remain open until 20 July 2026. The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Celebrate Women/Technical contributions survey|questions]] are also available on-wiki for review in advance.
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Score|Score extension]] now supports rendering music scores as SVG images in addition to PNG, addressing a long-standing [[:phab:T49578|feature request]] and resolving historical image quality issues. Both formats are now provided to clients, with PNG in the &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;src&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; attribute and SVG in the &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;srcset&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; attribute.
* The new [[wikitech:Parsoid|Parsoid]] parser [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser_Unification/Updates|continues to be deployed to additional wikis]], making it easier to introduce new reading and editing features. It was enabled on French Wikipedia, bringing total progress to covering 78.9% of Wikipedia page views. Rollout to English Wikipedia desktop will progress through this week.

'''Updates for editors'''
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Growth/Revise_Tone|Revise Tone]] helps newcomers identify passages in Wikipedia articles that may contain non-encyclopedic language and encourages them to consider revising the tone. The feature was [[w:en:A/B_testing|A/B tested]] on the Arabic, English, French, and Portuguese Wikipedias, where newcomer task completion rates [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Growth/Revise_Tone#Experiment_Results|increased by 38.7%]] compared to the default Copyedit task, with no decrease in edit quality. The test ended on July 9, and the feature is now available for everyone on these wikis, configurable via Community Configuration. [[phab:T426364|The plan]] is to release Revise Tone to more wikis.
* The community configuration that allows [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Growth/Mentorship#Automated mentor list cleanup|automatic removal of inactive mentors]] based on configurable criteria will be enabled on Thursday 16, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Growth/Deployment|on some wikis]] to keep mentor lists up to date. Mentors are experienced contributors who opt in to help new users on-wiki through the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Growth/Feature summary|Growth Features]]. Administrators can now prepare the settings via [[w:Special:CommunityConfiguration/Mentorship|Special:CommunityConfiguration/Mentorship]]; they will take effect starting Thursday.
* [[File:Reload icon with two arrows.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:38}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:38|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]]. For example, an issue where some users of the Wikipedia Android app were logged out immediately after signing in, preventing them from staying logged in and editing pages, has now been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T316916]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Editing a page via user scripts or gadgets was causing watchlist labels that the user had assigned to that page to reset. This has now been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T423778]
* To work around a Safari bug (see [[phab:T425211]]), on Parsoid-enabled wikis, wikilink hrefs now use absolute urls instead of protocol-relative urls. REST API output remains unchanged and continue to use protocol-relative urls. Gadgets, user scripts, bots, and CSS might need to be adapted if they relied on the presence of protocol-relative urls in wikilink hrefs. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T431358]

      <text bytes="5296" sha1="bko97j8934kly8soke3azjrr2i12pv8" xml:space="preserve">Many of the functions that arise naturally in mathematics and real world applications can be extended to and regarded as complex functions, meaning the input, as well as the output, can be complex numbers &lt;math&gt;x+iy&lt;/math&gt;, where &lt;math&gt;i=\sqrt{-1}&lt;/math&gt;, in such a way that it is a more natural object to study. '''Complex analysis''', which used to be known as '''function theory''' or '''theory of functions of a single complex variable''', is a sub-field of analysis that studies such functions (more specifically, '''holomorphic''' functions) on the complex plane, or part (domain) or extension (Riemann surface) thereof. It notably has great importance in number theory, e.g. the [[Riemann zeta function]] (for the distribution of primes) and other &lt;math&gt;L&lt;/math&gt;-functions, modular forms, elliptic functions, etc. &lt;blockquote&gt;The shortest path between two truths in the real domain passes through the complex domain.  — [[wikipedia:Jacques_Hadamard|Jacques Hadamard]]&lt;/blockquote&gt;In a certain sense, the essence of complex functions is captured by the principle of [[analytic continuation]].{{mathematics}}

== Timeline ==
A lot of people are treated on this page, so this timeline will be somewhat chaotic to read. These events probably didn't directly affect every single person treated on this page, but discussions about them probably circulated through the families. The detail about Lady Caroline Howard and her mother, the Hon. Susan Howard, is to make these people, whose papers are in the National Library of Ireland, more concrete and known.

=== Lady Alexandra Hamilton ===
Lady Alexandra Hamilton was one of the archduchesses — along with with 3 or 4 other young women — in [[Social Victorians/People/Londonderry#The Entourage of Maria Thérèse|the entourage of the Marchioness of Londonderry]], who led the Austrian procession as Marie Thérèse, Empress of the Holy Roman Empire.&lt;ref&gt;“The Ball at Devonshire House.

The newspapers report that the archduchesses were all dressed alike, but only one photograph exists of any of these young women in costume — that of [[Social Victorians/People/Londonderry#Helen Mary Theresa Vane-Tempest-Stewart|Helen Mary Theresa Vane-Tempest-Stewart]] (which is shown, right). The newspaper descriptions are on her page, with her portrait in costume, but they apply to all the archduchesses.

=== Lord Frederick Hamilton ===

Lord Frederick Spencer Hamilton was 6th son and 13th child of the 1st Duke of Abercorn. No photograph of him in costume exists.

He is shown (at left) as he looked in 7 February 1895 in a Spy caricature in ''Vanity Fair''.

=== James Hamilton, Marquess of Hamilton ===
James Hamilton, Marquis of Hamilton was dressed in a &quot;black velvet tunic; breeches and cloak trimmed jet; large hat, feathers, wig, sword, &amp;c., of the period&quot; of Charles II.&lt;ref name=&quot;:15&quot; /&gt;{{rp|34, Col. 3a}} No photograph of him in costume exists.

A caricature portrait (right) called ''He will be the 3rd Duke'' (James Hamilton, Marquess of Hamilton) by &quot;Hadge&quot; appeared in the 16 February 1899 issue of ''Vanity Fair'', as Number 739 in its &quot;Men of the Day&quot; series,&lt;ref name=&quot;:16&quot; /&gt; giving a sense of what he looked like at about the time of the ball.

In 1892 Hamilton joined the 1st Life Guards, so the uniform he is wearing in this portrait is likely that of an officer of the 1st Life Guards.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|date=2024-01-12|title=James Hamilton, 3rd Duke of Abercorn|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=James_Hamilton,_3rd_Duke_of_Abercorn&amp;oldid=1195216640|journal=Wikipedia|language=en}} https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Hamilton,_3rd_Duke_of_Abercorn.&lt;/ref&gt;

James Hamilton's wife Lady Rosalind Hamilton is not reported as having been present at the ball, perhaps because she was pregnant with her second child and gave birth in August, five weeks later, so she was around 8 months pregnant.

=== Ronald Hamilton ===
Mr. Ronald Hamilton, possibly Ronald James Hamilton, was dressed as a &quot;Gentleman of the Court of Queen Elizabeth, in black velvet trimmed with jet.&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:9&quot; /&gt;{{rp|p. 8, Col. 1c}}

== Questions and Notes ==
#DVP = decessit vita patris, died while the father was still living
#Mr. Ronald Hamilton cannot be Frederick Hamilton's brother, who should be Lord Ronald Hamilton rather than Mr. Ronald Hamilton, and he died in 1867. He could be this Ronald Hamilton, who would be a Mr. Hamilton: http://www.thepeerage.com/p2163.htm#i21622. He was Lady Alexandra's cousin and nephew of the 1st Duke of Abercorn.
#A Mr. Hamilton is mentioned in the ''Gentlewoman'' article: &quot;Mr. Hamilton (Elizabethan costume), black velvet, trimmed gold.&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:15&quot; /&gt;{{rp|34, Col. 1c}} But a later reference in this same article to Mr. Ronald Hamilton matches the description in the ''Morning Post'' article, saying he wore black velvet with jet, rather than gold trim: &quot;'''Mr. Ronald Hamilton''' (gentleman of the Court of Queen Elizabeth), black velvet with jet.&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:15&quot; /&gt; (36, Col. 3b) I believe the other Mr. Hamilton is Mr. [[Social Victorians/People/Cole-Hamilton|Claud Cole-Hamilton]], particularly since Mrs. Hamilton was dressed as Amy Robsart and thus must be Lucy Charlewood Cole-Hamilton because of the description of her costume in the Album of photographs given to the Duchess of Devonshire later.
#Claud John Hamilton is probably who attended the social events, because the other Claud, of whatever generation either died too young or was born too late.

Although Queen Victoria had opened Parliament for the first time in February 1866, when people saw her for the first time in years as her open carriage made its way, she was unpopular because it seemed she was not working. Gladstone was Prime Minister.&lt;blockquote&gt;Between 1871 and 1874, eighty-five Republican Clubs were founded in Britain, protesting, among other things, the &quot;expensiveness and uselessness of the monarchy&quot; and Bertie's &quot;immoral example.&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:4&quot;&gt;Baird, Julia.

==== Birmingham Tennis Court Club Ball ====
1871 February 17, Friday, the &quot;bachelors of the Tennis Court Club&quot; hosted a ball in Birmingham:&lt;blockquote&gt;LEAMINGTON.&lt;p&gt;

B&lt;small&gt;ACHELORS'&lt;/small&gt; B&lt;small&gt;ALL&lt;/small&gt;.&lt;p&gt;— Last night the bachelors of the Tennis Court Club gave a grand ball at the Royal Assembly Rooms, Regent Street. The ball was one of the most brilliant of the season, nearly four hundred of the ''élite'' of the town and neighbourhood having accepted the invitation of the bachelors. The ballroom was specially fitted up for the occasion, and a splendid supper was served in the adjoining rooms, where refreshments were also provided. Coote and Tiney's band was specially engaged for the occasion, and played a selection of the newest and most popular dance music. Amongst the distinguished guests present were — The High Sheriff and Mrs. J. T. Arkwright, Lady Arbuthnott, Lord and Lady Conyers, [[Social Victorians/People/Abercorn|Lady Caroline Howard]], Viscount and Viscountess Mountgarret and the Hon. Miss Butler, Sir John and Lady Blois, Sir Thomas Biddulph, the Hon. Miss Somerville, Sir William and Lady Fairfax, the Hon. Charles L. Butler, Rev. Sir John Rae, General and Mrs. Richmond Jones, Major Eldman, Major and Mrs. James Ashton, Major and Mrs. Boothby, Colonel Ruttie, Colonel Duberly, Colonel and Mrs. Machen, Colonel Rattray, Capt. and Mrs. Kennedy, Capt. W. J. Hall, Capt. Hodge, Capt. and Mrs. Morgan, Capt. and Mrs. Pearse, Capt. Roberts, Capt. Story, Mr. and Mrs. Featherstone Dilke (Maxstoke Castle) and Miss Dixie, Mr. C. M., Miss, and Miss M. A. Caldecott (Holbrooke Grange), Mr. and Mrs. J. Dugdale (Wroxhall Abbey), Mr. E. Greaves, M.P., Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Adderley (Hams Hall), and Capt. and Mrs. Hatherall. Several of the officers from the dragoons and artillery at Coventry and Birmingham were also present. The bachelors who gave the ball were twenty-eight in number.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;Leamington.&quot; &quot;District News.&quot; ''Birmingham Morning News'' 18 February 1871, Saturday: 7 [of 8, print and digital], Col. 5b [of 6]. ''British Newspaper Archive'' https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0005826/18710218/114/0007. Print and digital title are the same.&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Another description of this same event, the Bachelors' Ball at the Leamington Spa:&lt;blockquote&gt;The bachelors’ ball at Leamington Spa, which took place on the 17th inst., was a greater success than ever. It was held as usual in the Assembly Rooms, which, by the bye, might be better adapted to such purposes. Theyare not so bad as far as the ball room goes, but to reach the supper room you have to make a pilgrimage up one of the steepest and most uncomfortable staircases ever seen; still, however difficult the journey, a safe arrival will repay one. The room was very prettily decorated, and most sumptuous fare provided. The following is a list of the bachelors who gave the ball: Mr Neville Bagot, Mr Ramsay Clarke, Mr Erasmus Galton, Mr C. H. Gregg (8th Hussars), Mr Ralph C. Gregg, Mr William Gillett, Mr Thomlinson Grant, Col. Hammond, R.A., Capt. Hull, Mr Wm. Harrison, Mr Pulsford Hobson, Mr Sydney Hobson, Mr F. C. Lister Kay, Viscount St. Lawrence, M.P., Capt. Maxwell Lyte (7th Dragoon Guards), Mr Richard Lant, Mr John Lant, Mr Oswald Milne, Mr W. W. Moore, Mr Thomas Norman, Mr Hamilton Osborne, Capt. John Paynter, Capt. Pullin, Mr George Rennie, Mr Alex. G. Stuart, Mr J. H. Sanders, Mr Edmund Vyner, Captain Vandeleur; and nothing that they could do was wanting to make it a most complete success. The frequenters of the subscription balls could scarcely recognise the rendezvous of their fortnightly meetings. A porch had been erected over the entrance in the parade, and the corridors all round the dancing room carpeted with crimson and prettily decorated. Banks of flowers had been arranged in every available corner of the ball room, and a number of mirrors hung against the wall reflected the gay scene. Coote and Tinney’s band played a charming selection, and dancing was kept up with much spirit to a late hour. The company was a large one, the toilettes exceedingly pretty. Among those present were Lord and Lady Conyers, Sir William and Lady Fairfax, [[Social Victorians/People/Abercorn|Lady Caroline Howard]], Viscount and Viscountess Mount-Garrett, [[Social Victorians/People/Ormonde|Hon. Miss Butler]], Sir John Rae Reid, Hon. Mary Somerville, &amp;c.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;Fashionable Entertainments.&quot; ''The Queen'' 25 February 1871, Saturday: 19 [of 24], Col. 3b [of 3].

This fashionable ''réunion'' of the ''élite'' of the town and neighbourhood took place the Assembly Rooms last evening The large room was beautifully decorated by Mr. Abotta, of Lower Bedford-street, who had the entire management of the preparations. Coote and Tinney's band occupied the orchestra, and played an admirable selection of first-class dance music. Mr. Wheal, of the Lower-parade, supplied the supper.

==== 19 June 1873, Thursday, Polo Match Between Officers of the Royal Horse Guards and Officers of the 9th Lancers ====
&lt;blockquote&gt;THE POLO CLUB.

Although the weather was dull and gloomy yesterday, there was a large company at the club grounds to witness the match between the officers of the Royal Horse Guards (Blue) and the officers of the 9th Lancers. A number of carriages surrounded the enclosure, and many ladies were present, among whom were the Marchioness of Waterford, Viscountess Middelton, Lady Philippa Stanhope, the Countess of Mayo, the Hon. Miss Brodrick, Lady Little, [[Social Victorians/People/Abercorn|Lady Louisa Howard]], [[Social Victorians/People/Abercorn|Lady Caroline Howard]], Lady Harriet Duncombe, Miss Duncoinbe and Miss E. Duncombe, the Hon. Mrs. O'Grady and Miss O'Grady, Lady Knollys and Miss Knollys, the Dowager Lady Craven, Lady Grey de Wilton, Lady Fanny Fitzwigram, Lady Petre, Lady M. Egerton, Misses E. and G. Egerton, the Countess of Gleichen, Lady C. Brineman, Lady Campbell, Lady Emily Ormsby Gore, the Countess of Coventry, Lady Maria Ponsonby, and Lady Henry Somerset. Just before 4 o'clock the competitors took up their stations at the goals, the Hon. H. Boscawen and Sir Beach Cunard being the judges. The Guards, having choice of stations, elected to play from the Pavilion goal, although there was a strong wind blowing against them. Play was called for the first &quot;bully,&quot; and when the ball was tossed into the centre of the ground the advanced guard of both sides missed their blows; and, this brought the others close up, and after some spirited hitting the Guards got the ball nearly to the bottom goal, where it was knocked out of bounds three or four times. Each time it was returned into play some severe rallies ensued, and the scientific hitting and stopping of the Marquis of Worcester, the Hon. C. W. Fitzwilliam, and Lord Kilmarnock met with loud applause, while the play of the whole of the Lancers was so determined and vigorous that the Guards could not break through their defence, but in a good ''mêlée'' [sic] close to the goal the ball was hit just outside the bottom posts. They then had a rest, and the ponies were attended to and carefully watered, and when the ball was hit off the Lancers, playing well together, drove the ball nearly to the top goal, but just missed getting it through the post. The rain now came down and made the turf heavy and slippery, and the play was rather wild, many well-intended hits being lost by the little &quot;tits&quot; slipping when turning sharply at their best speed. Both sides were doing their utmost to obtain the honours; but, although the ball was sent to all parts of the enclosure, and rally after rally came off, each goal being assaulted in its turn, no goal was made. The Guards now got the ball to the bottom end of the ground, and the Marquis of Worcester made a fine drive for victory; the ball, however, did not quite reach the goal, but his Lordship was well backed up by the Hon. C. Fitzwilliam, who, in the midst of a rattling ''mélée'' [sic] close on the posts, cleverly &quot;pushed&quot; the ball through the goal, and scored the first to the Guards, after playing lh. 20min., being the longest time that as [sic] occurred this season. After a rest and a change of ponies the second &quot;bully&quot; was commenced, but, after a short time, during which some fine play was exhibited by both sides, &quot;time&quot; was called by the judges, and the Guards won the game by one goal.

==== 18 October 1873, Saturday, Orange Order Events at Govan ====
This festival seems to have included some speeches and the laying of a foundation stone for an Orange Hall. The speeches were extremely anti-Catholic and bigoted.&lt;blockquote&gt;ORANGE FESTIVAL AT GOVAN.

The third annual festival of the Govan Orangemen and their friends was held in the Govan Hall on Friday night — Br. H. A. Long [?] in the chair. After a service of tea and sake,

The C&lt;small&gt;HAIRMAN&lt;/small&gt; delivered an address, in which he stated, after a few preliminary remarks, that Orangeism had to be looked at from two points of view — one political and the other religious. The political one looked at the Pope and grasped the sword, while the other looked at Christ and opened its arms. One of them was for offence — that was fighting against Popery in all its varied forms, while the other was for the adoption and union of the great system of thrice-blessed Christianity. He congratulated them on living in comparatively happy days, and seeing the complete destruction of the Court of Rome and the Pope's temporal power. Not many years ago, he said, diplomatists came from all parts of the world to the Quirinal or the Vatican, but all that had now passed away, and not left a shadow behind. The chairmen then reviewed at some length the events of Italian history since 1846, and the great contrast in the treatment of priests in Rome at that time and at the present day. It must have been a bitter pill, he went on to say, for the Vatican to swallow when they heard the shouts of triumph of 25,000 Romans rejoicing that they had got free from priestly influence. Mr. Long next referred to the late visit of Victor Emmanuel to the Emperors of Austria and Germany, which he is garded as a pledge of defence against the French nation's interference in Italian affairs. The chairman referred to the immense treasures stored in the Vatican, amounting to eight hundred millions of sovereigns, and to the cramping of the power of the priesthood in Germany by Bismarck[.] The Rev. C. A. M'Kenzie, after apologising for not having any text, gave an interesting sketch of the connection of the North of Ireland with the Western Highlands of Scotland, from the middle of the sixth century, when St. Columba crossed over with his twelve followers, till the perversion of the early Culdee Church by the wife of Malcolm Canmore and her son King David. Popery, he asserted, was an invasion of comparatively recent origin, and the Roman Catholics had no right to the ancient abbeys, to which they seemed inclined to lay claim. In conclusion, he urged upon them, as good Orange-men and followers of the famous King William, of glorious memory, who inscribed on his banner &quot;the liberties of England and the Protestant religion,&quot; never to forget that noble man; and to beware of Puseyism, which was only Popery in disguise. The meeting was afterwards addressed by Mr. Martin, and the proceedings were enlivened with songs by a number of the brethren and their lady friends. After the soiree an assembly took place, and dowering was kept up till an early hour.— ''Glasgow News''.

N&lt;small&gt;EW&lt;/small&gt; O&lt;small&gt;RANGE&lt;/small&gt; H&lt;small&gt;ALL&lt;/small&gt;. — The foundation stone of Staffordstown [?] Orange Hall has been laid by Lady Louisa O'Neill, in presence of Lady O'Neill, [[Social Victorians/People/Abercorn|Lady Caroline Howard]], the Hon.

&lt;blockquote&gt;As monarchists’ hopes flared, the Catholic Church, too, enjoyed a conspicuous revival. The National Assembly approved a design for a new basilica for Paris. Intended as an act of collective atonement, Sacré-Coeur was to perch atop Montmartre, immediately above where Nadar’s balloons had been launched and where the radicals’ insurrection had broken out. Excavations began in early May 1874 ....

But the focus of the penance the basilica was intended to embody gradually shifted from the moral decline of French society in general to the despicable excesses of the Commune. In 1872 Archbishop Darboy’s successor claimed to have had a vision as he climbed the Butte Montmartre. The clouds dispersed, and he realized that it was there, “where the martyrs” were (he meant the murdered generals Lecomte and Clément-Thomas), that a new church should be built. And when the Assembly voted to proceed with the construction, legislators specified that its purpose was to “expiate the crimes of the Commune.”&lt;ref name=&quot;:3&quot; /&gt; (464 of 667)&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Disraeli's progressive legislation for labor rights:&lt;blockquote&gt;In 1875, he passed a series of enlightened acts protecting labor rights, arguing they were as important as property rights. Two of the laws ensured that workers would have the same recourse as employers when contracts were breached, and made peaceful picketing legal, protecting unions from charges of conspiracy.&lt;ref name=&quot;:4&quot; /&gt; (578 of 1203)&lt;/blockquote&gt;After women who owned property were allowed by Parliament to stand for local school-board elections in 1870, &quot;Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, the first woman to qualify as a doctor in Britain — in 1865 — stood and was elected to her local board five years later.&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:4&quot; /&gt; (199 of 1203)

The most interesting among the passengers was 'Mr. Butler, author of Erewhon, who is very amusing and clever though infidel,' but, although he played whist with Samuel Butler, the young man was far more interested in the Eustace Smiths (parents of his friend W. H. Smith), and in a Canadian family named Macpherson, the youngest of whose two daughters, the dark-eyed Isobel, caught his fancy: he saw them afterwards in Toronto, and when they parted she gave him two larger than carte-de-visite photographs of herself, he gave her a smaller one of himself together with the inevitable volume of his father's verse.&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:2&quot; /&gt;{{rp|10}}&lt;/blockquote&gt;September

The Premier received the Queen at the station. A lofty triumphal arch spanned the entrance to the station-yard, and beneath this the royal party drove into the gaily decorated little town. The reception along the route was of the heartiest, and the drive of two miles to Hughenden was one long triumph. Lord Beaconsfield, who had preceded the party, welcomed the Queen at his own door. Lunch was served, and her Majesty remained about two hours.

'''28 December 1879''': The Tay Bridge Disaster: The Tay Bridge collapsed with a train on it. The weather was very bad, with gale-force winds and rain.

The ''Times'' reported that the average high temperature for the week ending December 31, 1879, was 53° F. and the low was 20° F.

In his column &quot;What the World Says&quot; in the 21 January 1880 World, Edmund Yates writes the following:&lt;blockquote&gt;How am I to describe better the magnificence of the Earl and Countess of Rosslyn’s ball at Euston Lodge last month, than by calling attention to the fact that M. Carlo, the eminent Knightsbridge coiffeur, arrived early in the day to crimp and powder the lacqueys? My informant adds, however, that the curled darlings were rather the worse for the festivities towards night. Was it not enough to turn their heads in every sense of the word?&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot;&gt;Edmund Yates, &quot;What the World Says,&quot; ''The World: A Journal for Men and Women''.&lt;/ref&gt;{{rp|21 Jan. 1880, p. 8, col. b.}}&lt;/blockquote&gt;

'''31 December 1879''': Edmund Yates, editor of The World: A Journal for Men and Women, in his column &quot;What the World Says,&quot; describes a private viewing at the Grosvenor Gallery:&lt;blockquote&gt;The private view at the Grosvenor on the last day of the year gave people something to do on a desperately wet afternoon. The artistic dresses were perhaps in greater force than ever; indeed the faces and the hair and the attitudes pursued me to my bed, and gave me many a nightmare. I suppose the plain woman of all time has had the ambition to be looked at: centuries of failure have at last been crowned with a real success. Besides the Cimabue Browns there was an interesting menagerie of real lions, artistic, literary, and clerical. The artists were numerous, and their host and hostess seemed to enjoy themselves very thoroughly.

Frequenters of the picture private views have a new sensation this winter. Last season they mobbed beauty: now hideously-attired unkempt dowdiness provokes the stare. The prize for the new style seems generally awarded to a rhubarb coloured flannel Ulster and a cart-wheel beaver hat, which pervaded both the private views last week. [2 private views last week, one at the Grosvenor]&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;{{rp|7 Jan. 1880, p. 9}}&lt;/blockquote&gt;

The official premiere of ''The Pirates of Penzance'' occurred in New York City on 31 December 1879 at the Fifth Avenue Theatre, to establish international copyright. Gilbert and Sullivan were there with the cast. The performance was a social event: attending were Mrs. Vanderbilt and Mrs. Astor.

1871 February 17, Friday, the &quot;bachelors of the Tennis Court Club&quot; hosted a ball in Birmingham:&lt;blockquote&gt;LEAMINGTON.&lt;p&gt;

B&lt;small&gt;ACHELORS'&lt;/small&gt; B&lt;small&gt;ALL&lt;/small&gt;.&lt;p&gt;— Last night the bachelors of the Tennis Court Club gave a grand ball at the Royal Assembly Rooms, Regent Street. The ball was one of the most brilliant of the season, nearly four hundred of the ''élite'' of the town and neighbourhood having accepted the invitation of the bachelors. The ballroom was specially fitted up for the occasion, and a splendid supper was served in the adjoining rooms, where refreshments were also provided. Coote and Tiney's band was specially engaged for the occasion, and played a selection of the newest and most popular dance music. Amongst the distinguished guests present were — The High Sheriff and Mrs. J. T. Arkwright, Lady Arbuthnott, Lord and Lady Conyers, [[Social Victorians/People/Abercorn|Lady Caroline Howard]], Viscount and Viscountess Mountgarret and the Hon. Miss Butler, Sir John and Lady Blois, Sir Thomas Biddulph, the Hon. Miss Somerville, Sir William and Lady Fairfax, the Hon. Charles L. Butler, Rev.

It was held as usual in the Assembly Rooms, which, by the bye, might be better adapted to such purposes. Theyare not so bad as far as the ball room goes, but to reach the supper room you have to make a pilgrimage up one of the steepest and most uncomfortable staircases ever seen; still, however difficult the journey, a safe arrival will repay one. The room was very prettily decorated, and most sumptuous fare provided. The following is a list of the bachelors who gave the ball: Mr Neville Bagot, Mr Ramsay Clarke, Mr Erasmus Galton, Mr C. H. Gregg (8th Hussars), Mr Ralph C. Gregg, Mr William Gillett, Mr Thomlinson Grant, Col. Hammond, R.A., Capt. Hull, Mr Wm. Harrison, Mr Pulsford Hobson, Mr Sydney Hobson, Mr F. C.

John Paynter, Capt. Pullin, Mr George Rennie, Mr Alex. G. Stuart, Mr J. H. Sanders, Mr Edmund Vyner, Captain Vandeleur; and nothing that they could do was wanting to make it a most complete success. The frequenters of the subscription balls could scarcely recognise the rendezvous of their fortnightly meetings. A porch had been erected over the entrance in the parade, and the corridors all round the dancing room carpeted with crimson and prettily decorated. Banks of flowers had been arranged in every available corner of the ball room, and a number of mirrors hung against the wall reflected the gay scene. Coote and Tinney’s band played a charming selection, and dancing was kept up with much spirit to a late hour. The company was a large one, the toilettes exceedingly pretty. Among those present were Lord and Lady Conyers, Sir William and Lady Fairfax, [[Social Victorians/People/Abercorn|Lady Caroline Howard]], Viscount and Viscountess Mount-Garrett, [[Social Victorians/People/Ormonde|Hon. Miss Butler]], Sir John Rae Reid, Hon. Mary Somerville, &amp;c.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;Fashionable Entertainments.&quot; ''The Queen'' 25 February 1871, Saturday: 19 [of 24], Col. 3b [of 3].

==== 19 June 1873, Thursday, Polo Match Between Officers of the Royal Horse Guards and Officers of the 9th Lancers ====
&lt;blockquote&gt;THE POLO CLUB.

Although the weather was dull and gloomy yesterday, there was a large company at the club grounds to witness the match between the officers of the Royal Horse Guards (Blue) and the officers of the 9th Lancers. A number of carriages surrounded the enclosure, and many ladies were present, among whom were the Marchioness of Waterford, Viscountess Middelton, Lady Philippa Stanhope, the Countess of Mayo, the Hon. Miss Brodrick, Lady Little, [[Social Victorians/People/Abercorn|Lady Louisa Howard]], [[Social Victorians/People/Abercorn|Lady Caroline Howard]], Lady Harriet Duncombe, Miss Duncoinbe and Miss E. Duncombe, the Hon. Mrs. O'Grady and Miss O'Grady, Lady Knollys and Miss Knollys, the Dowager Lady Craven, Lady Grey de Wilton, Lady Fanny Fitzwigram, Lady Petre, Lady M. Egerton, Misses E. and G. Egerton, the Countess of Gleichen, Lady C. Brineman, Lady Campbell, Lady Emily Ormsby Gore, the Countess of Coventry, Lady Maria Ponsonby, and Lady Henry Somerset. Just before 4 o'clock the competitors took up their stations at the goals, the Hon. H. Boscawen and Sir Beach Cunard being the judges. The Guards, having choice of stations, elected to play from the Pavilion goal, although there was a strong wind blowing against them. Play was called for the first &quot;bully,&quot; and when the ball was tossed into the centre of the ground the advanced guard of both sides missed their blows; and, this brought the others close up, and after some spirited hitting the Guards got the ball nearly to the bottom goal, where it was knocked out of bounds three or four times. Each time it was returned into play some severe rallies ensued, and the scientific hitting and stopping of the Marquis of Worcester, the Hon. C. W. Fitzwilliam, and Lord Kilmarnock met with loud applause, while the play of the whole of the Lancers was so determined and vigorous that the Guards could not break through their defence, but in a good ''mêlée'' [sic] close to the goal the ball was hit just outside the bottom posts. They then had a rest, and the ponies were attended to and carefully watered, and when the ball was hit off the Lancers, playing well together, drove the ball nearly to the top goal, but just missed getting it through the post. The rain now came down and made the turf heavy and slippery, and the play was rather wild, many well-intended hits being lost by the little &quot;tits&quot; slipping when turning sharply at their best speed. Both sides were doing their utmost to obtain the honours; but, although the ball was sent to all parts of the enclosure, and rally after rally came off, each goal being assaulted in its turn, no goal was made. The Guards now got the ball to the bottom end of the ground, and the Marquis of Worcester made a fine drive for victory; the ball, however, did not quite reach the goal, but his Lordship was well backed up by the Hon. C. Fitzwilliam, who, in the midst of a rattling ''mélée'' [sic] close on the posts, cleverly &quot;pushed&quot; the ball through the goal, and scored the first to the Guards, after playing lh. 20min., being the longest time that as [sic] occurred this season. After a rest and a change of ponies the second &quot;bully&quot; was commenced, but, after a short time, during which some fine play was exhibited by both sides, &quot;time&quot; was called by the judges, and the Guards won the game by one goal.

==== 18 October 1873, Saturday, Orange Order Events at Govan ====
This festival seems to have included some speeches and the laying of a foundation stone for an Orange Hall. The speeches were extremely anti-Catholic and bigoted.&lt;blockquote&gt;ORANGE FESTIVAL AT GOVAN.

The third annual festival of the Govan Orangemen and their friends was held in the Govan Hall on Friday night — Br. H. A. Long [?] in the chair. After a service of tea and sake,

The C&lt;small&gt;HAIRMAN&lt;/small&gt; delivered an address, in which he stated, after a few preliminary remarks, that Orangeism had to be looked at from two points of view — one political and the other religious. The political one looked at the Pope and grasped the sword, while the other looked at Christ and opened its arms. One of them was for offence — that was fighting against Popery in all its varied forms, while the other was for the adoption and union of the great system of thrice-blessed Christianity. He congratulated them on living in comparatively happy days, and seeing the complete destruction of the Court of Rome and the Pope's temporal power. Not many years ago, he said, diplomatists came from all parts of the world to the Quirinal or the Vatican, but all that had now passed away, and not left a shadow behind. The chairmen then reviewed at some length the events of Italian history since 1846, and the great contrast in the treatment of priests in Rome at that time and at the present day. It must have been a bitter pill, he went on to say, for the Vatican to swallow when they heard the shouts of triumph of 25,000 Romans rejoicing that they had got free from priestly influence. Mr. Long next referred to the late visit of Victor Emmanuel to the Emperors of Austria and Germany, which he is garded as a pledge of defence against the French nation's interference in Italian affairs. The chairman referred to the immense treasures stored in the Vatican, amounting to eight hundred millions of sovereigns, and to the cramping of the power of the priesthood in Germany by Bismarck[.] The Rev. C. A. M'Kenzie, after apologising for not having any text, gave an interesting sketch of the connection of the North of Ireland with the Western Highlands of Scotland, from the middle of the sixth century, when St. Columba crossed over with his twelve followers, till the perversion of the early Culdee Church by the wife of Malcolm Canmore and her son King David. Popery, he asserted, was an invasion of comparatively recent origin, and the Roman Catholics had no right to the ancient abbeys, to which they seemed inclined to lay claim. In conclusion, he urged upon them, as good Orange-men and followers of the famous King William, of glorious memory, who inscribed on his banner &quot;the liberties of England and the Protestant religion,&quot; never to forget that noble man; and to beware of Puseyism, which was only Popery in disguise. The meeting was afterwards addressed by Mr. Martin, and the proceedings were enlivened with songs by a number of the brethren and their lady friends. After the soiree an assembly took place, and dowering was kept up till an early hour.— ''Glasgow News''.

N&lt;small&gt;EW&lt;/small&gt; O&lt;small&gt;RANGE&lt;/small&gt; H&lt;small&gt;ALL&lt;/small&gt;. — The foundation stone of Staffordstown [?] Orange Hall has been laid by Lady Louisa O'Neill, in presence of Lady O'Neill, [[Social Victorians/People/Abercorn|Lady Caroline Howard]], the Hon. Edward O'Neill, and a large assemblage of Orangemen. After the ceremony, the entire party adjourned to a field adjoining, where a platform had been erected. The lodges present were — Staffordstown L.O.L., 504 [?]; Ballydonnall L.O.L., 306 [?]; Tailorstown True Blues, 544; Grange L.OL., 701; Duneane [?] L.O L., 719; Grange L.O.L., 919; Cranfield L.O.L , 705 [?]; Fenton Invincibles, L.O.L., 1104; and the Fenton Invincibles (juveniles), L.O.L., 1104. Amongst those present on the platform were — Lady O'Neil, the Hon. Edward O'Neill, M.P.; the Hon. Louisa O'Neill, Lady Caroline Howard, William J. Gwynne, Esq.; Richard Lilburn, Esq.; J. J. Carson, Esq., Mrs. Carson, and Miss Carson; Rev. J. B. Greer, Rector of Grange; Rev. J. H. Wright, bector [sic] of Portglenone; Rev. A. Gault, Vicar of Antrim; Rev.

S Beekerstaff, Glenavy District; George French, James M'Manus, John Hume Richardson, Wm. J. Senly. Mr. Gwynne was called to the chair, and the meeting having been opened with prayer, appropriate addresses were afterwards delivered by the chairman, the Hon. Edward O'Neill, the Rev. Mr. Wright, Mr. Lilburn, and the Rev. Mr. Greer. The chairman having made a few concluding remarks, the meeting separated after having given three hearty lowly cheers for Lady O'Neill and party.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;Orange Festival at Govan.&quot; ''Belfast Weekly Telegraph'' 18 October 1873, Saturday: 8 [of 8], Col. 3b–c [of 6].

&lt;blockquote&gt;As monarchists’ hopes flared, the Catholic Church, too, enjoyed a conspicuous revival. The National Assembly approved a design for a new basilica for Paris. Intended as an act of collective atonement, Sacré-Coeur was to perch atop Montmartre, immediately above where Nadar’s balloons had been launched and where the radicals’ insurrection had broken out. Excavations began in early May 1874 ....

But the focus of the penance the basilica was intended to embody gradually shifted from the moral decline of French society in general to the despicable excesses of the Commune. In 1872 Archbishop Darboy’s successor claimed to have had a vision as he climbed the Butte Montmartre. The clouds dispersed, and he realized that it was there, “where the martyrs” were (he meant the murdered generals Lecomte and Clément-Thomas), that a new church should be built. And when the Assembly voted to proceed with the construction, legislators specified that its purpose was to “expiate the crimes of the Commune.”&lt;ref name=&quot;:3&quot; /&gt; (464 of 667)&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Disraeli's progressive legislation for labor rights:&lt;blockquote&gt;In 1875, he passed a series of enlightened acts protecting labor rights, arguing they were as important as property rights. Two of the laws ensured that workers would have the same recourse as employers when contracts were breached, and made peaceful picketing legal, protecting unions from charges of conspiracy.&lt;ref name=&quot;:4&quot; /&gt; (578 of 1203)&lt;/blockquote&gt;After women who owned property were allowed by Parliament to stand for local school-board elections in 1870, &quot;Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, the first woman to qualify as a doctor in Britain — in 1865 — stood and was elected to her local board five years later.&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:4&quot; /&gt; (199 of 1203)

H. Smith), and in a Canadian family named Macpherson, the youngest of whose two daughters, the dark-eyed Isobel, caught his fancy: he saw them afterwards in Toronto, and when they parted she gave him two larger than carte-de-visite photographs of herself, he gave her a smaller one of himself together with the inevitable volume of his father's verse.&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:2&quot; /&gt;{{rp|10}}&lt;/blockquote&gt;September

Within an hour of their arrival home they set forth to attend a gala performance at Covent Garden Opera House. It was a brave decision to face the public and allow an immediate opportunity for demonstration. The Prince and Princess were rewarded when the audience rose to its feet to give them a standing ovation before the start of every act, as well as at the end, of Verdi's Ballo in Maschera.&lt;ref name=&quot;:1&quot; /&gt;{{rp|63}}&lt;/blockquote&gt;

'''27 May 1877''': Lily Langtry:&lt;blockquote&gt;Her big moment on May 27, 1877, when Sir Allen Young, the arctic explorer, invited her to late supper in his house, where it had been arranged that the Prince of Wales should meet her after the opera. The result was all that could have been expected. Mrs. Langtry became the Prince's first openly recognised mistress.&lt;ref name=&quot;:1&quot; /&gt;{{rp|69}}&lt;/blockquote&gt;'''31 May 1877, Wednesday''': Derby Day. The Prince and Princess of Wales did not attend, as he was ill.

'''15 December 1877'''&lt;blockquote&gt;On Dec. 15, 1877, the Queen honoured Lord Beaconsfield, the Premier, with a visit at Hughenden Manor. Her Majesty, accompanied by Princess Beatrice and attended by General Ponsonby and the Marchioness of Ely, left Windsor at 12.40 and proceeded by special train to High Wycombe, which was reached at 1.15. The Premier received the Queen at the station. A lofty triumphal arch spanned the entrance to the station-yard, and beneath this the royal party drove into the gaily decorated little town. The reception along the route was of the heartiest, and the drive of two miles to Hughenden was one long triumph. Lord Beaconsfield, who had preceded the party, welcomed the Queen at his own door. Lunch was served, and her Majesty remained about two hours. Before leaving she planted a memorial tree.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;The Queen's Glorious Reign.&quot; ''Illustrated London News'' (London, England), Saturday, May 27, 1899; pp. 757–765?; Issue 3136.

'''28 December 1879''': The Tay Bridge Disaster: The Tay Bridge collapsed with a train on it. The weather was very bad, with gale-force winds and rain.

The ''Times'' reported that the average high temperature for the week ending December 31, 1879, was 53° F. and the low was 20° F.

In his column &quot;What the World Says&quot; in the 21 January 1880 World, Edmund Yates writes the following:&lt;blockquote&gt;How am I to describe better the magnificence of the Earl and Countess of Rosslyn’s ball at Euston Lodge last month, than by calling attention to the fact that M. Carlo, the eminent Knightsbridge coiffeur, arrived early in the day to crimp and powder the lacqueys? My informant adds, however, that the curled darlings were rather the worse for the festivities towards night. Was it not enough to turn their heads in every sense of the word?&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot;&gt;Edmund Yates, &quot;What the World Says,&quot; ''The World: A Journal for Men and Women''.&lt;/ref&gt;{{rp|21 Jan. 1880, p. 8, col. b.}}&lt;/blockquote&gt;

'''31 December 1879''': Edmund Yates, editor of The World: A Journal for Men and Women, in his column &quot;What the World Says,&quot; describes a private viewing at the Grosvenor Gallery:&lt;blockquote&gt;The private view at the Grosvenor on the last day of the year gave people something to do on a desperately wet afternoon. The artistic dresses were perhaps in greater force than ever; indeed the faces and the hair and the attitudes pursued me to my bed, and gave me many a nightmare. I suppose the plain woman of all time has had the ambition to be looked at: centuries of failure have at last been crowned with a real success. Besides the Cimabue Browns there was an interesting menagerie of real lions, artistic, literary, and clerical. The artists were numerous, and their host and hostess seemed to enjoy themselves very thoroughly.

Frequenters of the picture private views have a new sensation this winter. Last season they mobbed beauty: now hideously-attired unkempt dowdiness provokes the stare. The prize for the new style seems generally awarded to a rhubarb coloured flannel Ulster and a cart-wheel beaver hat, which pervaded both the private views last week. [2 private views last week, one at the Grosvenor]&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;{{rp|7 Jan. 1880, p. 9}}&lt;/blockquote&gt;

The official premiere of ''The Pirates of Penzance'' occurred in New York City on 31 December 1879 at the Fifth Avenue Theatre, to establish international copyright. Gilbert and Sullivan were there with the cast. The performance was a social event: attending were Mrs. Vanderbilt and Mrs. Astor.

| abstract = Mental health issues continue to be a significant problem in Sri Lanka, with 2022 suicide rates in the country reporting 15 suicides per 100,000 people, above the global average of 10.5 suicides per 100,000 people. The barriers to mental healthcare on the island are multi-faceted and are best understood with historical context. This narrative review covers the historical developments of mental healthcare,  mental health impacts of historical events within the last 100 years, current challenges affecting mental health outcomes, the role of the island's major religions in mental health and mental healthcare, and recommendations for improving future mental healthcare. The author uses peer-reviewed journal articles, relevant books, historical documents, and governmental/non-governmental reports to support clinical and historical claims, though non-peer-reviewed sources were used to contextualize historical and non-clinical claims. The narrative review concludes that outdated legislation, impacts from recent conflicts or disasters, stigma surrounding mental health, and economic vulnerability contribute to mental health issues and the inefficiency of mental healthcare services. The author recommends updating legal frameworks, expanding services, and raising awareness to mitigate social stigma.

== Introduction ==
Mental health continues to be a critically relevant topic as the island nation has experienced decades of [[w:Black_July|violent ethnic conflict]], terrorist attacks, alleged war crimes, and economic disruptions. Sri Lanka continues to recover from a [[w:Sri_Lankan_economic_crisis_(2019–2024)|severe economic crisis (2019 - 2024)]], a [[w:Sri_Lankan_civil_war|nearly 30-year civil war ending in 2009]], a [[w:2019_Sri_Lanka_Easter_bombings|2019 terrorist attack]], and the [[w:2004_Boxing_Day_tsunami|2004 Boxing Day tsunami]]. The exact effect these major events have had on mental health in the country is &quot;unknown&quot;, but the statistics remain concerning despite a declining trend in the overall suicide rate.

Suicide rates in the country during the mid-1990s were the second-highest in the world, with ingesting toxic products being the main suicide method. Despite the decline in suicide numbers since then—possibly attributed to Sri Lanka's ban on toxic products—evidence from a 2023 study reports an upward trend in suicide through hanging from 2016 to 2021—independent of the [[w:COVID-19_pandemic_in_Sri_Lanka|COVID-19 pandemic]]. Several risk factors for suicide, such as poverty and economic instability, are still prevalent and even increasing in the country&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Rajapakse|first=Thilini|last2=Silva|first2=Tharuka|last3=Hettiarachchi|first3=Nirosha Madhuwanthi|last4=Gunnell|first4=David|last5=Metcalfe|first5=Chris|last6=Spittal|first6=Matthew J.|last7=Knipe|first7=Duleeka|date=2023-01-19|title=The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic and Lockdowns on Self-Poisoning and Suicide in Sri Lanka: An Interrupted Time Series Analysis|url=https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9914278/|journal=International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health|volume=20|issue=3|pages=1833|doi=10.3390/ijerph20031833|issn=1660-4601|pmc=9914278|pmid=36767200}}&lt;/ref&gt;.

== Methods ==
A narrative review was conducted on mental health in Sri Lanka. Sources used included peer-reviewed journal articles, relevant books, historical documents, and governmental/non-governmental reports. These sources were found on Google Scholar, PubMed/PMC, Sri Lankan journals, and official Sri Lankan governmental websites showing relevant statistics/reports. Keywords used to conduct searches included, but were not limited to: &quot;Sri Lanka mental health&quot;, &quot;Sri Lanka civil war trauma&quot;, &quot;Sri Lanka suicide&quot;, &quot;Sri Lanka mental health ordinances&quot;, &quot;Sri Lanka religion and mental health&quot;, &quot;Sri Lanka public mental healthcare&quot;, and &quot;Sri Lanka poverty/economic crisis mental health impact.&quot; Studies that were included were relevant to the topic (Sri Lanka, South Asian mental health law, suicide, public mental health, conflict/disaster trauma, or cultural/religious practice), had full text available, and were in the English language. Non-peer-reviewed sources were primarily used to explain historical claims or contextualize non-clinical claims. 

==Historical Development of Mental Health Services==

Records attest to the care of the mentally ill through established hospitals in the island since the 4th century.&lt;ref name=&quot;:17&quot; /&gt; Prior to the incarceration of the mentally ill by the European colonizing forces, the mentally ill were regarded as ''Pissowetitch'', or people who had &quot;the spirit of the Gods within him&quot; and &quot;whatsoever he pronounceth, is looked upon as spoken by God himself, and the people will speak to him, as if it were the very person of God&quot;&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.gutenberg.org/files/14346/14346-h/14346-h.htm|title=An Historical Relation Of the Island Ceylon, in the East-Indies: Together, With an Account of the Detaining in Captivity the Author and divers other Englishmen now Living there, and of the Author’s Miraculous Escape.|last=Knox|first=Robert|website=www.gutenberg.org|language=en-us|access-date=2026-06-29}}&lt;/ref&gt;. With this religious understanding, Lucien de Alwis reasoned that the mentally ill in Sri Lanka were &quot;placed... at a higher social status than the mentally ill in the Western world&quot;, with this understanding correlating with the unsurprising absence of evidence of any &quot;large scale segregation[s] of [the] mentally ill from society&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:17&quot; /&gt;. 

In the 1800s, established care for mental health began shifting primarily from indigenous practices, mainly derived from [[w:Ayurveda|Ayurveda medicine]], [[w:Siddha_medicine|Siddha medicine]], and [[w:Unani_medicine|Unani medicine]], to a Western model by the British&lt;ref name=&quot;:17&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot;&gt;Gambheera, H. (2011). [https://www.saarcpsychiatry.com/viewText?chapter=c6 The evolution of psychiatric services in Sri Lanka]. South Asian Journal of Psychiatry, 2(1), 25–27.&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;:15&quot;&gt;{{Cite book|url=https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-96-8078-8_7|title=Social Psychiatry in Sri Lanka|last=Baminiwatta|first=Anuradha|last2=Williams|first2=Shehan|date=2025|publisher=Springer Nature|isbn=978-981-96-8078-8|editor-last=Arafat|editor-first=S.

=== Adoption of a Western-based mental healthcare model and ordinances ===
In 1839, [[w:James_Alexander_Stewart-Mackenzie|James Alexander Stewart-Mackenzie]], the 7th Governor of British Ceylon, released the Lunacy Ordinance, authorizing municipal authorities to create lunatic asylums for the mentally ill&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;:2&quot;&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://mentalhealth.health.gov.lk/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=6&amp;Itemid=125&amp;lang=en|title=History - Directorate of Mental Health|website=mentalhealth.health.gov.lk|access-date=2025-05-10}}&lt;/ref&gt;. The ordinance was concerned with the legal frameworks of detaining individuals considered dangerous to others or individuals falsely presenting themselves as mentally ill, and not on medical treatments to alleviate the conditions of detained individuals. UK psychiatrist [[w:Edward_Mapother|Edward Mapother]] critiqued the ordinance during his 1937 inspection of British Ceylon's mental health institutions in a series of reports titled ''A Disgrace to a Civilised Community'', remarking that the ordinance &quot;[did] not seem to have contemplated treatment as a contingency to be considered&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:1&quot;&gt;{{Cite book|title=Permeable walls: historical perspectives on hospital and asylum visiting|date=2009|publisher=Rodopi|isbn=978-90-420-2599-8|editor-last=Mooney|editor-first=Graham|series=Clio medica|location=Amsterdam New York, NY|editor-last2=Reinarz|editor-first2=Jonathan}}&lt;/ref&gt;.

The 1839 Ordinance was repealed and replaced by the 1840 Ordinance, which removed two requirements from the previous Ordinance: the requirement for official medical diagnoses of the mentally ill and the mandate to maintain adequate staff-to-patient ratios within lunatic asylums&lt;ref name=&quot;:3&quot;&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Alwis|first=L. A. P. de|last2=Seneviratne|first2=V. L.|last3=Mendis|first3=T. S. S.|last4=Abhayanayaka|first4=C.|date=2024-12-31|title=The development of laws related to the disposal of forensic patients in Sri Lanka: A historical review|url=https://sljpsyc.sljol.info/articles/10.4038/sljpsyc.v15i2.8569|journal=Sri Lanka Journal of Psychiatry|language=en-US|volume=15|issue=2|doi=10.4038/sljpsyc.v15i2.8569|issn=2012-6883}}&lt;/ref&gt;.

In 1873, a third Ordinance was released. It included linguistic changes, where the term, &quot;insane&quot;, was replaced with &quot;of unsound mind&quot;. The Ordinance also gave more power to medical professionals in determining insanity diagnoses, and more power to detainees in appealing their commitment to the mental asylum. Despite the increased granted authority, the legal frameworks behind the detainment of the criminally insane were left identical to previous ordinances&lt;ref name=&quot;:3&quot; /&gt;.

=== Development of mental asylums ===
At the time the 1839 ordinance was released, mentally ill patients were placed either in prisons throughout the country or leprosy hospitals, such as the [[w:Hendala_Leprosy_Hospital|Hendala Leprosy Hospital]] in the Gampaha district&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;:3&quot; /&gt;. After the creation of the first mental asylum in Borella in 1846, patients from the Hendala Leprosy Hospital were transferred to Borella. Overcrowding soon became an issue, which led to patients being sent to prisons. [[File:Edward Mapother.jpg|thumb|A portrait taken of Edward Mapother during his time working at [[w:Maudsley_Hospital|Maudsley Hospital]] in London.
]]

As medical institutions were being made to house the mentally ill, another mental asylum was created in the [[w:Cinnamon_Gardens|Cinnamon Gardens]] area of Colombo in 1884, though this mental asylum faced overcrowding issues in just one year&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;. Treatment in these asylums was limited to occupational and protection therapy, failing to provide treatment for the root causes.

In 1926, the Angoda Mental Hospital was established, marginally alleviating the severe overcrowding issues that were plaguing the preceding mental asylums. Despite the addition of 1,700 beds to the facility, treatment was still vastly limited and the patients were left in significantly poor conditions. 

=== Edward Mapother and his 1937 inspection of British Ceylon ===
Edward Mapother was born in Dublin, Ireland, on July 12, 1881 and moved to London when he was 7 years old&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite book|title=Madness to mental illness: a history of the Royal College of Psychiatrists|last=Bewley|first=Thomas|date=2008|publisher=RCPsych Publications ; Distributed in North America by Balogh International|isbn=978-1-904671-35-0|location=London : [S.l.]}}&lt;/ref&gt;. Mapother attained his M.D. in 1908. While Mapother was the Medical Superintendent of Maudsley Hospital in London, England, he was invited to inspect British Ceylon's mental health institutions by Dr S. T. Gunasekara, the first Medical Director of British Ceylon&lt;ref name=&quot;:1&quot; /&gt;.

In Mapother's visit, he commented that the Angoda Mental Hospital had the atmosphere of &quot;a prison that is neglected and dilapidated&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:1&quot; /&gt;. Overcrowding was still a major issue, with the institute hosting 3,000 patients—more than double the intended capacity. Patients were sleeping on mats and were clearly out of reach of adequate treatment. Mapother also noted that only 4% of public health expenditure in the country was being set for hospitals, drawing a stark comparison to London's 25%&lt;ref name=&quot;:1&quot; /&gt;. Mapother offered a vivid and grim account of the hospital in his reports:
&lt;blockquote&gt;
The floor, roof and walls of each cell consist alike of drab cement without any attempt at colouring or decoration. High up in one wall is a small window with stout iron bars. In the floor is a large hole into which the patient may pass his motion and urine. These cells are incompletely divided from one another by a partition which does not reach the roof so that the noise and stink from any one cell may reach at least all the others of the same row. Into these empty cells I was informed that the most noisy and troublesome patients in the hospital; were turned at night completely naked. The doors of the cell contain no observation window, and considering the violent character of many of these patients there is every ground for believing that the doors are rarely opened in the night by the solitary attendant on duty. It needs little imagination to picture the suffering of any patient in an early stage of bodily illness passing a night under such conditions, a situation which must frequently arise. I am told that the noise proceeding from this building is like that on a bad night in a menagerie&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Mapother proposed a series of reinforcements to the legal, institutional, and medical frameworks of mental health care in British Ceylon. This included the decentralization of the psychiatric services, a reworking of the Lunacy Ordinance to incorporate treatment into the legal framework, and the establishment of a separate service of medical professionals dedicated to psychiatry. Mapother's recommendations led to several of the best local medical professionals to be sent to London for extensive training in psychiatry, while nurses from England were sent to British Ceylon to supervise hospital operations and train local staff&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;:1&quot; /&gt;.

On August 25, 1938, the Executive Committee of Health approved the strategies proposed by Mapother, though the Government was unable to fully implement all of Mapother's interventions due to the 'heavy cost'. In fact, the Government decided to forego one of his proposals at the beheast of the &quot;Visiting Committee&quot;, a committee that was tasked to &quot;meet at the hospital, carry out inspections, and make recommendations&quot; to the Executive Committee of Health&lt;ref name=&quot;:1&quot; /&gt;. The Government believed that deficiencies in their mental healthcare system could prove to be &quot;costly&quot; for their reputation, which enraged Maptoher. Mapother intended to contact the Secretary of State regarding the &quot;distortion&quot; of his plans, but was interrupted by events preceding [[w:World_War_II|World War II]]&lt;ref name=&quot;:1&quot; /&gt;. Mapother passed away on March 20, 1940, without materializing his follow-up plans.

=== Post-Mapother developments and further innovations ===
[[File:Sri Lanka districts Colombo.svg|thumb|A map of Sri Lanka highlighting the Colombo District, where the capital is located. 
|right|250px]]Mapother's insights on the mental healthcare structure in British Ceylon proved to be the catalyst of significant renovations. In 1939, the first outpatient clinic was established in the [[w:National_Hospital_of_Sri_Lanka|National Hospital of Sri Lanka]] in Colombo. The first trained Ceylonese psychiatrists began practice in the 1940s, leading to the establishment of the first neuropsychiatric clinic in Colombo in 1943. Treatments for the mentally ill improved dramatically, as [[w:insulin_shock_therapy|insulin shock therapy]] and [[w:Electroconvulsive_therapy|cardiazol convulsive therapy]] were utilized&lt;ref name=&quot;:4&quot;&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Kathriarachchi|first=Samudra T.|last2=Seneviratne|first2=V.

Mapother's advocation for the decentralization of services were further honored through the 1947 establishment of a first child guidance clinic in Colombo General Hospital&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;. 

In 1948, British Ceylon was granted independence after the [[w:Sri_Lankan_independence_movement|Sri Lankan independence movement]]. Changes in the mental healthcare structure were not immediate following independence, but rapid expansions of mental healthcare services were continuing to actualize.  

The following decades saw positive institutional developments, such as the creation of a second hospital in [[w:Mulleriyawa|Mulleriyawa]] in 1957, and the creation of a psychiatric inpatient unit in Colombo General Hospital in 1967—effectively granting the city of Colombo the luxury of hosting the top psychiatric care in the country&lt;ref name=&quot;:5&quot;&gt;{{Cite book|url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-1-4899-7999-5_4|title=Mental Health System Development in Sri Lanka|last=Minas|first=Harry|last2=Mendis|first2=Jayan|last3=Hall|first3=Teresa|date=2017|publisher=Springer US|isbn=978-1-4899-7997-1|editor-last=Minas|editor-first=Harry|location=Boston, MA|pages=59–77|language=en|doi=10.1007/978-1-4899-7999-5_4|editor-last2=Lewis|editor-first2=Milton}}&lt;/ref&gt;. The 1950s was also the start of psychopharmacological innovations, with the introduction of [[w:Lithium_(medication)|lithium]] and long-acting injectable antipsychotics ([[w:Depot_injection|depot]] [[w:Antipsychotic|neuroleptics]]) in the succeeding years&lt;ref name=&quot;:4&quot; /&gt;. Additionally, the number of public psychiatrist positions increased by 400% from 1953 to 1967&lt;ref name=&quot;:5&quot; /&gt;.

After 1960, mental health services were expanded from beyond the capital to other cities in the country&lt;ref name=&quot;:2&quot; /&gt;.

In 1980, the [[w:Postgraduate_Institute_of_Medicine|Postgraduate Institute of Medicine]] initiated a program where students would enroll in a 5-year medical course and attain an MD in psychiatry, curbing the need for Sri Lankan medical students to be sent abroad to complete their training. Many of the medical students sent abroad for training never returned to Sri Lanka to practice, resulting in a &quot;1:500,000 to 1000,000&quot; ratio of psychiatrists to patients on &quot;most occasions&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;.

=== Mental Disease Ordinance of 1956 ===
In 1956, the 1873 Ordinance was revised a second time. The Mental Disease Ordinance of 1956 featured another linguistic development, as &quot;lunacy&quot; was replaced with &quot;mental disease&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:5&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;:6&quot;&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Hapangama|first=Aruni|last2=Mendis|first2=Jayan|last3=Kuruppuarachchi|first3=K. a.

The Ordinance paved way for community-based services to be delivered to patients closer to their residences, rather than strictly allocating services to just hospitals. This led to the creation of a [[w:WHO|WHO]]-backed community clinic near the [[w:University_of_Colombo|University of Colombo]] in the 1970s, where the focus was to eventually ease patients in the Angoda Mental Hospital back into the general population&lt;ref name=&quot;:5&quot; /&gt;.

=== Developments from the 1990s ===
The 1990s and onwards saw further positive developments in framing the mental healthcare system, including the establishment of the [https://mentalhealth.health.gov.lk/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=featured&amp;Itemid=101&amp;lang=en Directorate of Mental Health] in 1998. The Directorate of Mental Health is a part of the [[w:Ministry_of_Health_(Sri_Lanka)|Ministry of Health]] and is responsible for the monitoring and implementation of mental health programs across the country&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://mentalhealth.health.gov.lk/index.php?lang=en|title=Home - Directorate of Mental Health|website=mentalhealth.health.gov.lk|access-date=2025-05-12}}&lt;/ref&gt;.  As of 2025, the current director of the Directorate of Mental Health is Dr. Chithramalee de Silva&lt;ref name=&quot;:2&quot; /&gt;.

On November 11, 2005, the Mental Health Policy was approved by the Government of Sri Lanka, advocating for establishments of more de-centralized, community-based mental health services across the country. The policy aimed to concisely define the rigorous standards needed to be met for each respected medical professional, including psychiatrists and clinical psychologists&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Rajapakshe|first=Onali Bimalka Wickramaseckara|last2=Mohan|first2=Mohapradeep|last3=Singh|first3=Swaran Preet|date=2023-05|title=Development of adolescent mental health services in Sri Lanka|url=https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10895478/|journal=BJPsych international|volume=20|issue=2|pages=41–43|doi=10.1192/bji.2022.32|issn=2056-4740|pmc=10895478|pmid=38414998}}&lt;/ref&gt;. The policy also included a new position, the &quot;Medical Officer of Mental Health&quot;, tasked with overseeing and assisting in creating community-based mental health services&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;. In the same year, the Sri Lankan government began implementing psychological services in state institutions, such as the military&lt;ref name=&quot;:8&quot; /&gt;.  

In 2007, the National Mental Health Advisory Council (NMHAC) was created to serve as an 'advisory' board for the Ministry of Health&lt;ref name=&quot;:7&quot;&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://mentalhealth.health.gov.lk/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=9&amp;Itemid=220&amp;lang=en|title=Introduction - Directorate of Mental Health|website=mentalhealth.health.gov.lk|access-date=2025-05-12}}&lt;/ref&gt;. 

In 2008, the Angoda Mental Hospital was restructured and renamed as the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)&lt;ref name=&quot;:7&quot; /&gt;. 

=== Modern-day Sri Lanka ===
[[File:Feeding Children in Sri Lanka.jpg|left|thumb|Despite the noteworthy improvements in mental healthcare services in recent decades, mental health remains a significant issue due to rising poverty. ]]
As of 2025, the Mental Health Act (mental health legislation) has been undergoing development since 2005 and is currently awaiting to be considered for the final stage of approval. This is expected to replace the 1956 Mental Health Ordinance&lt;ref name=&quot;:7&quot; /&gt;.

Currently, there are 7 tertiary care hospitals, 61 adult patient units, 3 child inpatient units, and 1 forensic unit with over 100 psychiatrists all throughout the 22 districts&lt;ref name=&quot;:4&quot; /&gt;. The [[w:Lady_Ridgeway_Hospital_for_Children|Lady Ridgeway Hospital]] in Colombo and the Sirimavo Bandaranayke Specialized Children Hospital in Kandy are specialized in treating children with [[w:Learning_disability|SLD]], [[w:ADHD|ADHD]], [[w:Autism_Spectrum_Disorder|ASD]], and provides family support for patients. As of 2017, 22 rehabilitation centers exist through the country, including 7 alcohol rehab centers&lt;ref name=&quot;:7&quot; /&gt;.   

Despite the impressive advancements in mental healthcare in the last couple of decades, Sri Lanka still suffers significant mental health issues due to increasing poverty levels in the country. The [[w:World_Bank|World Bank]] reported that [https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2024/04/08/eesc-a08.html the poverty levels in Sri Lanka increased from 11% in 2019 to 26% in 2024], with 60% of Sri Lankan households facing &quot;decreased incomes&quot;&lt;ref&gt;Lakhtakia, Shruti, Atapattu Mudiyanselage, Udahiruni Shashadari Atapat, Walker, Richard Ancrum.

Washington, D.C.: World Bank Group. &lt;nowiki&gt;http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/099634104012434919&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/ref&gt;. This was exacerbated by Sri Lanka's excessive foreign debt, economic troubles stemming from [[w:Gotabaya_Rajapaksa|Gotabaya Rajapaksa]]'s presidential term, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the [[w:Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine|ongoing invasion of Ukraine by Russia (2022)]].  

According to [[w:NYU|New York University]] graduate student [https://gc-cuny.academia.edu/NadiaAugustyniak Nadia Augustyniak] in her 2025 overview of Sri Lanka's public mental healthcare system, poverty-induced financial precarity remains a major obstacle to receiving access to mental healthcare services. Even though trauma from adverse weather and conflict is deleterious to mental health, issues originating from every-day struggles, especially struggles related to poverty, could arguably play a more significant role&lt;ref name=&quot;:8&quot;&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Augustyniak|first=Nadia|date=2025-06-01|title=Public mental healthcare and economic vulnerability in Sri Lanka|url=https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S2666560324000926|journal=SSM - Mental Health|volume=7|pages=100387|doi=10.1016/j.ssmmh.2024.100387|issn=2666-5603}}&lt;/ref&gt;.  

== Impact of Conflicts, Terrorism, Political Instability &amp; Natural Disasters ==

=== Sri Lankan Civil War ===
The '''Sri Lankan Civil War''' was a domestic conflict between the Sri Lankan government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (abbreviated as the ''LTTE),'' a militant group formed in the 1970s as a byproduct of rising tensions between the majority Sinhalese and minority Tamil population. The group is considered a terrorist organization&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.start.umd.edu/baad/database/liberation-tigers-tamil-eelam-ltte-1998.html|title=BAAD - Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) - 1998 {{!}} START.umd.edu|website=www.start.umd.edu|access-date=2025-06-09}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/liberation-tigers-tamil-eelam-aka-tamil-tigers-sri-lanka-separatists|title=Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (aka Tamil Tigers) (Sri Lanka, separatists) {{!}} Council on Foreign Relations|last=Bhattacharji|first=Preeti|website=www.cfr.org|language=en|access-date=2025-06-09}}&lt;/ref&gt;. The LTTE conducted decades of massacres, assassinations of political figures, and suicide bombings to achieve ''[[w:Tamil_Eelam|Tamil Eelam]],'' leading to civilian displacement, infrastructure collapse, and the reduction of mental health services available in the northern region.[[File:DFID-funded, UNHCR emergency shelter tents, in the IDP camp at Menik Farm, Sri Lanka (3694081492).jpg|thumb|350x350px|An IDP camp in Menik Farm, Sri Lanka in 2009 ([https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-19703826 now closed]).

'''Post-war'''
[[File:Puttalam district.svg|left|thumb|Puttalam District, unlike its northern counterparts, was largely spared from the intense conflict, possibly explaining the lower rates of common mental disorders (CMDs).]]
The first district-wide cross-sectional multistage cluster sample survey was conducted in the [[w:Jaffna_District|Jaffna District]] shortly after the war ended in 2009. The study's sample included 1517 households and 2 internally displaced peoples camps. With a response rate of 92%, the study found that symptoms for PTSD were found in 7% of participants, symptoms of anxiety were found in 32.6% of participants, and symptoms of depression were found in 22.2% of participants. 2% of respondents were being placed in internally displaced peoples camps at the time of the study, 29.5% were freshly resettled from the internally displaced peoples camps, and the rest of the participants (68.5%) were never placed into camps. In comparison to residents who were never placed into camps, participants that were actively held in camps generally reported more symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and depression. The researchers also found that women were especially vulnerable to deteriorating mental health conditions. This was explained by two factors: women having to assume the roles of both the father and the mother in the family setting after the, either voluntary or forced, departure of their husband to war, and sexist violence&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Husain|first=Farah|last2=Anderson|first2=Mark|last3=Lopes Cardozo|first3=Barbara|last4=Becknell|first4=Kristin|last5=Blanton|first5=Curtis|last6=Araki|first6=Diane|last7=Kottegoda Vithana|first7=Eeshara|date=2011-08-03|title=Prevalence of War-Related Mental Health Conditions and Association With Displacement Status in Postwar Jaffna District, Sri Lanka|url=https://doi.org/10.1001/jama.2011.1052|journal=JAMA|volume=306|issue=5|pages=522–531|doi=10.1001/jama.2011.1052|issn=0098-7484}}&lt;/ref&gt;.

Muslims in Northern Sri Lanka also faced violence and discrimination during the conflict. Most notable incidents include [[w:Expulsion_of_Muslims_from_the_Northern_Province_of_Sri_Lanka|the October 1990 expulsion of Muslims from the North to the Puttalam District or Jaffna]] and the [[w:Kattankudy_mosque_massacre|1990 Kattankudy mosque massacre]]. The only study testing the displaced Muslim population post-civil war was completed in 2011, where a cross-sectional survey of 450 internally displaced people or people born into displacement (ages 18 - 65) revealed 18.8% of the sample suffering from common mental health disorders (CMD), including [[w:Somatoform_disorder|somatoform disorder]] (14%), &quot;other depressive syndromes&quot; (7.3%), major depression (5.1%), and anxiety disorder (2.8%). The percentages found in this study for somatoform disorder and major depression were &quot;considerably higher&quot; than the national percentages, though the researchers noted that the prevalence of CMD was lower in comparison to other countries marred with conflict, including Palestine (40.3%) and Ethiopia (27.8%). The researchers explained that the lower rate of CMD may be attributed to the [[w:Puttalam_District|serenity of the post-settlement destination]], as conflict was mainly centered in the North and East.

About a decade after the conflict ceased, a few notable studies have emerged to help guide understanding on the longer-term mental health effects on victims of the civil war. 

From July 2019 to October 2020, a study conducted on 585 local adolescents (ages 12-19) in the Vavuniya district revealed that despite 15.6% of the statistic having faced one or more war-related events, only 3.9% of the participants had moderate to severe depression.

The authors referenced a 2010 observation by psychiatrist [https://us.sagepub.com/en-us/nam/author/daya-somasundaram Daya Somasundaram], who noted that many Tamil IDPs presented &quot;remarkable resilience and post-traumatic growth&quot; after the civil war—an outcome he attributed to the close-knit, family-centered nature of Tamil communities&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Somasundaram|first=Daya|date=2010-07-28|title=Collective trauma in the Vanni- a qualitative inquiry into the mental health of the internally displaced due to the civil war in Sri Lanka|url=https://doi.org/10.1186/1752-4458-4-22|journal=International Journal of Mental Health Systems|volume=4|issue=1|pages=22|doi=10.1186/1752-4458-4-22|issn=1752-4458|pmc=2923106|pmid=20667090}}&lt;/ref&gt;.

The '''2004 Boxing Day Tsunami''' was a natural disaster where a tsunami spawned off a 9.2–9.3 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Aceh in Indonesia on December 26. The tsunami greatly affected the coastlines of the country, with the death toll reaching to around 35,000 deaths. In addition, 90,000 houses were destroyed and 516,000 people were forced to migrate due to severe infrastructural damage&lt;ref name=&quot;:5&quot; /&gt;.

Albeit its relevancy to the attacks, no in-depth mental health studies have took place on the minority Muslim population following the Easter bombings. Further research is imperative in exploring the sustained psychological effects of Islamophobia and its effect on the Muslim minority community in the aftermath of the 2019 Easter attacks. 

Literature on the impact of the 2019 Easter Bombings on mental health is limited and further research should be conducted.  

=== 2019-2024 Economic Crisis ===
The '''2019-2024 Economic Crisis''' refers to a 5 year period where the Sri Lankan economy experienced significant inflation and an abrupt hike in prices on basic, everyday items. It is the worse economic crisis the country has faced since the Sri Lankans were granted independence in 1948. Schools in Sri Lanka were forced to postpone examinations due to paper shortages. Gas shortages led to long lines at gas stations, some lasting for days, throughout the island. Shortages in electricity, cooking gas, and aviation feul were additional consequences of the economic crisis.

Healthcare workers faced a barrage of impediments in their line of work during the crisis, including a lopsided work-life balance due to unprecedented demand, increased stress and mental fatigue from a lack of resources and personnel, unhealthy coping mechanisms, job dissatisfaction, and a reduction in work quality. Such effects perpetuated a self-enforcing cycle of psychologically distressed mental healthcare workers providing subpar services, affecting patients and amplifying mental health issues experienced by both the workforce and their patients&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Dilogini|first=S.|last2=Grace|first2=H.

Medical students from the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Colombo reported that the economic crisis forced abrupt changes in dietary consumption, increased hopelessness in the future, increased stress and anxiety, and a decrease in interest in pursuing a &quot;clinical post-graduate career&quot;&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Adikaranayake|first=Pesala Randika|last2=Perera|first2=Anusha Nimrod|last3=Nilaweera|first3=Akhila Imantha|last4=Fernando|first4=Desha Rajni|last5=Wijayaratne|first5=Dilushi Rowena|date=2025-07-01|title=Effects of Sri Lankan economic crisis on health, lifestyle and education of medical students in Faculty of Medicine, University of Colombo – an online survey|url=https://doi.org/10.1186/s12909-025-07506-y|journal=BMC Medical Education|language=en|volume=25|issue=1|pages=938|doi=10.1186/s12909-025-07506-y|issn=1472-6920|pmc=12211748}}&lt;/ref&gt;. 283 government-school teachers completed a web-based cross-sectional survey in April 2024, with majority of the participants reporting a severe reduction in monthly income &amp; 1/3 of participants exhibiting &quot;clinical levels of psychological distress&quot;&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Senevirathne|first=C.

A study published in that same year reported that out of 261 nurses working in teaching hospitals, 91.6% were forced to allocate their finances to strictly &quot;general needs&quot;, while more than 50% looked into international opportunities for employment. Notably, the study reported an overall near &quot;twofold greater&quot; rate of depression, anxiety, and stress compared to previous studies on nurses in Sri Lanka&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Senevirathne|first=C.P|last2=Senarathne|first2=L.|last3=Fernando|first3=M.|date=2024-04-01|title=Exploring the Association Between Behavioural Modification in Response to the Prevailing Economic Crisis and Mental Health Outcomes of Nurses from Teaching Hospitals, Sri Lanka|url=https://doi.org/10.1177/23779608241272679|journal=SAGE Open Nursing|language=EN|volume=10|pages=23779608241272679|doi=10.1177/23779608241272679|issn=2377-9608|pmc=11311183}}&lt;/ref&gt;. 

The detrimental effects the crisis has had on the mental health sector reveal a concerning area of underappreciation and under compensation towards a critical sector for the well-being of the country. Adequate staffing, increased funding, and an improved work-life balance should be emphasized for the workers of health sector of the country.  

== Present-Day Challenges ==

=== Ethnic tension ===
Despite the end of the Sri Lankan civil war and the introduction of pluralist policies, such as the [https://srilankaembassy.fr/sites/default/files/files/media/pdf/NationalPolicy-English.pdf 2017 National Policy on Reconciliation and Coexistence] under the Sirisena administration, tensions amongst members of the ethnic groups still persist in the country. Evidence of these tensions was found through a 2022 study conducted in the Ratnapura district, where religious leaders expressed skepticisms, through semi-structured interviews, for &quot;conflict transformation&quot;. A Tamil citizen of the Ratnapura community recounted that they were forced to &quot;hide in jungles&quot; and consume &quot;dirty water in drainage[s]&quot; due to scarcity of food and drinkable water as a result of the conflict. In certain personal accounts, ethnic conflicts appear to affect the social behavior and identity of the majority ethnic group. One Sinhala participant recounted his objection to the war-time retaliatory destruction of a shop run by a Tamil shopkeeper was met with interrogative questions about &quot;whether [he was] Sinhalese or not&quot;. Both accounts convey interethnic tensions stemming from decade-long conflicts&lt;ref&gt;Jayathilaka, Aruna &amp; Gamage, Sayuri. (2024). Role of Buddhist and Hindu Religious Leaders Role of Buddhist and Hindu Religious Leaders in the Post-War Conflict Transformation Process: A Study Based on Rathnapura District in Srilanka. ''Retrieved from'' https://gandhimargjournal.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Volume-46-Issue-1-April-June-2024.pdf#page=66&lt;/ref&gt;. 

Beyond individual accounts and the official end of the civil war, the minority groups in the country continue to feel ostracized. The Sri Lankan Tamil population remains dissatisfied with the Sri Lankan government and their accountability of perpetrators of war crimes and information on the whereabouts of [[w:Enforced_disappearances_in_Sri_Lanka|thousands of enforced disappearances]] that took place from the 1980s. Additionally, rising anti-Muslim sentiment in recent years contribute to increased ethnic tensions, a stark contrast to the previous centuries of peaceful co-existence between the groups. 
[[File:Bodu Bala Sena symbol.svg|thumb|The symbol for Bodu Bala Sena, a nationalistic Sinhala Buddhist group criticized for catalyzing ethnic tensions in Sri Lanka.]]
Laws passed by the Sri Lankan government, such as the [[w:Prevention_of_Terrorism_Act_(Sri_Lanka)|Prevention of Terrorism Act]] and [[wikipedia:Anti-conversion_law#Sri_Lanka|anti-conversion laws]], have forced the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom to label Sri Lanka as a nation that &quot;[engages] or [tolerates] severe violations of religious freedom&quot; in their 2024 report. The government has been criticized by human rights organizations for &quot;disproportionately targeting religious minorities&quot;&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Jayawickreme|first=Nuwan|last2=Jayawickreme|first2=Eranda|last3=McCaffrey|first3=Amy Z.|last4=Thiruvarangan|first4=Mahendran|date=2025-06-01|title=Mental health futures in post-war Sri Lanka: Resilience, relational pluralism, and implementation pathways|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666560325000775|journal=SSM - Mental Health|volume=7|pages=100465|doi=10.1016/j.ssmmh.2025.100465|issn=2666-5603}}&lt;/ref&gt;. Additionally, the implementation of the three dominant languages, English, Sinhala, and Tamil, across formal education and government services have been lackadaisical, narrowing opportunities of foundational social interactions between the groups. Persistent discrimination and prejudice towards minority groups can lead to an array of complex and self-deprecating mental health issues.   

Effort to mitigate ethnic tensions include strategies like [[w:Community-based_participatory_research|community-based participatory research]] (CBPR), task-sharing, and securing online mental health services in order to expand mental health services. However, the implementation of evidence-based plans has been met with difficulty due to inaccessibility, high costs, and shortages of adequately-trained personnel.  

Movements aiming for improved intra group and inter group coexistences, such as the Jaffna People’s Forum for Coexistence developed in the wake of the 2019 Easter bombings, should be emphasized on a systematic and multi-level basis, including but not limited to education, public sectors, and within communities. Pluralistic values are encouraged to be emphasized across both private and public schools to foster cultural sensitivity and tolerance. Measures should be taken against groups criticized for promoting sectarian hostility, such as the [[w:Bodu_Bala_Sena|Bodu Bala Sena]]. 

=== Poverty ===
It has been proven that poverty significantly increases the chances of developing mental illnesses. This is further amplified by possible discrimination&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Knifton|first=Lee|last2=Inglis|first2=Greig|date=2020-10|title=Poverty and mental health: policy, practice and research implications|url=https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7525587/|journal=BJPsych bulletin|volume=44|issue=5|pages=193–196|doi=10.1192/bjb.2020.78|issn=2056-4694|pmc=7525587|pmid=32744210}}&lt;/ref&gt;.

A 2013 study done on suicidal patients in [[w:Batticaloa_Teaching_Hospital|Batticaloa Teaching Hospital]] revealed 76% of patients who attempted suicide were from rural areas while 15% were from urban areas&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite book|url=http://ir.lib.seu.ac.lk/handle/123456789/1457|title=The influence of common risk factors for the patient with attempted suicide hospitalized at the teaching hospital, Batticaloa|last=Kisokanth|first=G.|last2=Najeem|first2=M.

The Sri Lankan government should consider the economical impacts that poverty has on mental health and implement ways to aid poverty-stricken individuals with mental health concerns.   

=== Stigmas ===
Stigma consists of the &quot;combined effect of prejudice, ignorance and discrimination.&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:10&quot;&gt;{{Cite web|url=http://www.researchgate.net/publication/233990797_The_Stigma_of_Mental_Illness_in_Sri_Lanka_The_Perspectives_of_Community_Mental_Health_Workers|title=(PDF) The Stigma of Mental Illness in Sri Lanka: The Perspectives of Community Mental Health Workers|website=ResearchGate|language=en|access-date=2025-07-25}}&lt;/ref&gt;.

A 2012 interview consisting of nine participants (two doctors, three nurses, one occupational therapist, one development worker, and two volunteers) revealed a number of concerning societal viewpoints on individuals with mental health concerns. The interviews revealed that negative judgements were not only levied against the individual with the mental illness, but also the family. Families hid mentally ill family members from the public to avoid &quot;shame&quot; and possible hinderances in marriage proposals. Views that mentally ill individuals were &quot;violent&quot; served as the motivating factor behind socially isolating those with mental illness from their communities. Interviewees mentioned that individuals dealing with mental health challenges would have stones and &quot;derogatory names&quot; launched at them. A lack of community awareness regarding mental health and negative portrayals of mentally ill individuals in media exacerbates stigmatization, though the researchers commented that the media was &quot;improving&quot; in their depiction of mental illness. Beliefs that illnesses are caused by &quot;spirits&quot; can be problematic for individuals dealing with mental health issues and serves as evidence to poor mental health awareness in the country. Mental health workers themselves believed that they were being stigmatized, as mental health is reportedly not taken as seriously as physical health. Despite the intriguing perspectives provided, the small sample size and usage of snow sampling raise questionable concerns regarding the contextualization of the results&lt;ref name=&quot;:10&quot; /&gt;. 

Improving media portrayal of subjects concerning mental health and involving community members in interventions dealing with mental health issues are ways that could destigmatize mental health amongst communities in Sri Lanka. Tying collaborations between allopathic services and traditional healers instead of having these two services work individually could enhance engagement between traditional medicine and Western medicine.

=== Suicide Trends &amp; Risk Factors ===
Suicide is defined as &quot;the act of killing oneself deliberately, initiated and performed by the person concerned in the full knowledge or expectation of its fatal outcome&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:11&quot;&gt;{{Cite book|title=The neuroscience of suicidal behavior|last=Heeringen|first=Kees van|date=2018|publisher=Cambridge University Press|isbn=978-1-316-60290-4|series=Cambridge fundamentals of neuroscience in psychology|location=Cambridge, United Kingdom New York, NY, USA Port Melbourne, VIC, Australia New Delhi, India Singapore}}&lt;/ref&gt;. Although Sri Lanka has seen a significant reduction in suicide rates from the mid 1990s due to its banning of extremely toxic pesticide products, suicide and self harm remains a significant issue. The suicide rate per 100,000 people increased from 14.0 in 2019 to [https://www.who.int/srilanka/news/detail/06-09-2024-world-suicide-prevention-day-2024--changing-the-narrative-on-suicide 15.0 in 2022] (according to WHO). On average, 27 males per 100,000 males and 5 females per 100,000 females committed suicide in 2022&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Kithulagoda|first=A. S.|last2=Gunasinghe|first2=U. C.

Hanging appears to be the most used method for suicide for both males and females, with studies revealing a steady increase in recent years&lt;ref name=&quot;:12&quot;&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Bandara|first=Piumee|last2=Wickrama|first2=Prabath|last3=Sivayokan|first3=Sambasivamoorthy|last4=Knipe|first4=Duleeka|last5=Rajapakse|first5=Thilini|date=2024-04-17|title=Reflections on the trends of suicide in Sri Lanka, 1997–2022: The need for continued vigilance|url=https://journals.plos.org/globalpublichealth/article?id=10.1371/journal.pgph.0003054|journal=PLOS Global Public Health|language=en|volume=4|issue=4|pages=e0003054|doi=10.1371/journal.pgph.0003054|issn=2767-3375|pmc=11023397|pmid=38630779}}&lt;/ref&gt;. 

From 2023 to 2024, a group of researchers from the [[w:Eastern_University,_Sri_Lanka|Eastern University in Sri Lanka]] assessed 828 patients admitted to the Teaching Hospital in [[w:Batticaloa,_Sri_Lanka|Batticaloa, Sri Lanka]] for attempted suicide. They concluded that suicide prevention programs should be attuned to younger people (ages 15 to 35 in the study), emphasize the importance of education and reducing unemployment, and increase social support in the Tamil community. Despite the relevant insights into certain aspects of an average Sri Lankan's life that could lead to suicidal ideation (ie, poverty), the results from this study suffer in external validity as 90% of the patients were Tamil and over 50% were between 16 and 25 years. In addition, correlations between suicide and unemployment rates have been questioned, with [[w:Austerity|austerity]] being a more reliable indicator of suicide rates than unemployment rates&lt;ref name=&quot;:11&quot; /&gt;. Further comprehensive studies on risk factors relating to suicide should be studied to assess correlations between unemployment rates and austerity measures.  

The WHO suggests implementing evidence-based suicide prevention programs, such as [https://www.who.int/initiatives/live-life-initiative-for-suicide-prevention LIVE LIFE], to reduce the national suicide rate&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.who.int/srilanka/news/detail/06-09-2024-world-suicide-prevention-day-2024--changing-the-narrative-on-suicide|title=World Suicide Prevention day 2024 “Changing the Narrative on Suicide”|website=www.who.int|language=en|access-date=2025-07-29}}&lt;/ref&gt;. Media depictions of suicidal methods, such as hanging, can lead to sensationalism and the media should be cautious of such displays in movies and TV shows&lt;ref name=&quot;:12&quot; /&gt;. Awareness of depression and other mental health issues can serve as a safeguard against suicidal ideation in Sri Lankan men and women.  

== Role of Religion ==
According to the last demographic report (2012), 70.2% of Sri Lankans are Buddhist, 12.6% are Hindus, 9.7% are Muslims, and 7.4% are Christians. The Theravada Buddhist community makes up the majority in several provinces throughout the country&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.state.gov/reports/2022-report-on-international-religious-freedom/sri-lanka/|title=Sri Lanka|website=United States Department of State|language=en-US|access-date=2025-08-07}}&lt;/ref&gt;. Religion, especially Theravada Buddhism, has had a significant influence on not only the historical treatment of mental health in the country, but also everyday life&lt;ref name=&quot;:15&quot; /&gt;. The [[w:Mahāvaṃsa|''Mahāvaṃsa'']] affirms hospitals treating patients suffering from mental health issues as early as the 4th century BC. Additionally, the 1700s Nayaka king [[w:Kirti_Sri_Rajasinha|Kirthi Sri Rajasinghe]] detailed the implementation of Buddhist philosophy in psychiatry&lt;ref name=&quot;:4&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;:17&quot;&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Alwis|first=L.

=== Buddhism ===
27 Sinhalese Buddhists from four Buddhist temples were selected for a series of 70-minute interviews and focus group discussions with the aim of learning the Sinhala Buddhist understanding and experience of spiritual well-being and psychological well-being. The interviewees held spiritual wellness to be the &quot;center&quot; of overall wellness, the &quot;precondition for a successful life&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:14&quot;&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Udayanga|first=Samitha|date=2021-06-30|title=Cultural understanding of ‘spiritual well-being’ and ‘psychological well-being’ among Sinhalese Buddhists in Sri Lanka|url=https://sljss.sljol.info/articles/10.4038/sljss.v44i1.7990|journal=Sri Lanka Journal of Social Sciences|language=en-US|volume=44|issue=1|doi=10.4038/sljss.v44i1.7990|issn=0258-9710}}&lt;/ref&gt;. Sinhala Buddhists believe that wellness cannot be achieved without spiritual tranquility. The report states that participants emphasized that spirituality &quot;cannot be directly intervened&quot; and can only be seen through &quot;[interactions] with society&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:14&quot; /&gt;. Despite the ''athmaya'' (soul) being &quot;unreachable&quot;, it can be &quot;intervened&quot;, or treated, through the actions of the mind and body with society&lt;ref name=&quot;:14&quot; /&gt;. One being &quot;psychologically ill&quot; can affect one's spiritual being, as the participants reported in their interviews, and can be affected through &quot;lifestyle stressors, environmental and socio-cultural causes, non-human related causes and bad-karma in the past lives&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:14&quot; /&gt;.  

The researchers concluded that despite Sinhala Buddhists not being able to articulately decipher the discrepancies between psychological well-being and spiritual well-being, they are able to conceptualize and maintain a culturally embedded understanding between the two, serving as reputable evidence of the integration of mental health in Sinhala Buddhist practices. However, it is important to note that these results come from a very small sample size and cannot be generalized to all Sri Lankan Buddhists.   

In addition, a 2009 study found that a belief in karma was correlated with poor health. However, an earlier study found a positive correlation between the reliance on the [[w:Karma_in_Buddhism|Buddhist concept of karma]] and trauma, inferencing Buddhist karma being a prevalent response to trauma&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Levy|first=Becca R.|last2=Slade|first2=Martin D.|last3=Ranasinghe|first3=Padmini|date=2009-03|title=Causal thinking after a tsunami wave: karma beliefs, pessimistic explanatory style and health among Sri Lankan survivors|url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19229624|journal=Journal of Religion and Health|volume=48|issue=1|pages=38–45|doi=10.1007/s10943-008-9162-5|issn=1573-6571|pmid=19229624}}&lt;/ref&gt;. Overall, the effectiveness of karma as a coping mechanism appears to be conflicted.   

Studies indicate that other practices of Buddhism seem to be utilized by individuals affected by the war. 40% of Sri Lankan Buddhists affected by the 2004 tsunami found the Buddhist ritual ''Bodhipuja'' to be helpful in dealing with traumatic experiences&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://jmvh.org/article/mental-health-and-the-role-of-cultural-and-religious-support-in-the-assistance-of-disabled-veterans-in-sri-lanka/|title=Mental Health and the Role of Cultural and Religious Support in the Assistance of Disabled Veterans in Sri Lanka|website=JMVH|language=en-US|access-date=2025-08-12}}&lt;/ref&gt;.    

=== Catholicism ===
Catholic counseling refers to &quot;a nuanced and holistic mental health care paradigm that intricately weaves together psychological science with the moral, spiritual, and pastoral traditions of the Catholic Church&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:13&quot;&gt;Perera, U. [https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Udeshini-Perera/publication/394095042_Catholic_Counselling_in_Sri_Lanka_Integrating_Faith_Psychology_and_Cultural_Healing/links/6889303af8031739e6098c79/Catholic-Counselling-in-Sri-Lanka-Integrating-Faith-Psychology-and-Cultural-Healing.pdf Catholic Counselling in Sri Lanka: Integrating Faith, Psychology, and Cultural Healing]. July 2025.&lt;/ref&gt; and aims to assimilate Catholic theology and evidence-based psychological treatment while including Sri Lankan cultural elements. This is achieved through emphasis on community cohesion and a locally-based understanding of &quot;personhood&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:13&quot; /&gt;. 

The origins of Catholic counseling trace back to the introduction of Roman Catholicism to the island in the 1600s, with the focus of the early Sri Lankan Catholic community being on &quot;[[w:Evangelism|evangelization]], education, and sacramental formation&quot;. Demand for counseling services in general increased due to the impacts of the Sri Lankan Civil War, where Catholic organizations (Caritas Sri Lanka, Seth Sarana, Subodhi Integral Centre (Piliyandala), etc.) established several Catholic-based trauma-informed programmes for victims of the Civil War. Programmes use group therapy, forgiveness rituals, and narrative repairs to alleviate war trauma. 

Examples of integration of Catholic virtues and counseling can be seen in [[w:Cognitive_Behavioral_Therapy|Cognitive Behavioral Therapy]] (CBT), where &quot;hope&quot; and &quot;humility&quot; are used as the frameworks for creating spiritual resilience&lt;ref name=&quot;:13&quot; /&gt;. The general Christian call of &quot;agape love and acceptance&quot; is echoed by the concept of [[w:Unconditional_positive_regard|unconditional positive regard]]. ''[[w:Lectio_Divina|Lectio Divina]]'' (Catholic prayer and meditation) and ''Marian devotions'' are integrated into therapeutic practices to achieve emotional regulation and mindfulness.   

Senior Lecturer [https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Udeshini-Perera Udeshini Perera] of the University of Colombo articulates a critical role of Catholic counseling. She claims that secular counseling fails to address the &quot;spiritual roots of distress and moral confusion&quot;. Catholic counseling fills in this gap by integrating &quot;psychological insights with a transcendent orientation, supporting lasting transformation and integrity&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:13&quot; /&gt;.  

As of 2025, no formal accreditation or standardized training exists for [[w:Pastoral_counseling|pastoral counselors]] in Sri Lanka, hampering the legitimacy of Catholic counseling. Udeshini Perera remarks that mental health stigma, lack of standardized training, research regarding Catholic counseling effectiveness, and acceptance of the combination of religion and science in a professional setting present challenges for Catholic pastoral counseling in the country. Additionally, Catholic psychiatry in Sri Lanka appears to be under-researched, and evidence of its empirical effects on followers appears sparse. Further research is needed in assessing the empirical effects of Catholic counseling in Sri Lanka.  

=== Islam ===
The literature on the empirical effects of Islamic-based psychotherapy in Sri Lanka is limited. Research has revealed a 2012 case study where a 21-year-old Muslim woman was experiencing episodic possession states. The patient ceased attending psychiatric services and opted for religious rituals. The patient reported, in a follow-up visit, that the possession states had been absent for 3 months since her switch to religious rituals. The woman and her family attributed the apparent improvement of her condition to religious rituals&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Hanwella|first=Raveen|last2=de Silva|first2=Varuni|last3=Yoosuf|first3=Alam|last4=Karunaratne|first4=Sanjeewani|last5=de Silva|first5=Pushpa|date=2012|title=Religious Beliefs, Possession States, and Spirits: Three Case Studies from Sri Lanka|url=http://www.hindawi.com/journals/crips/2012/232740/|journal=Case Reports in Psychiatry|language=en|volume=2012|pages=1–3|doi=10.1155/2012/232740|issn=2090-682X|pmc=3437272|pmid=22970398}}&lt;/ref&gt;.

Future recommendations would be to employ resources to research the foundations of Islamic psychiatry in the country, and to observe the rituals employed and their effects on patients. Studies have found that Islamic prayer can be an effective means of &quot;support and coping&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:15&quot; /&gt;. Seven world-wide case studies using Islamic-based psychotherapy on patients, consisting of religious rituals such as scriptural reading from the [[w:Quran|Quran]], teaching of fundamental Islamic concepts (such as ''[[w:Tawakkul|tawakkul]]''), and active implementation of contemplation (''[[w:Tadabbur|tadabbur]]''), have reported positive effects in decreasing cognitive and emotional symptoms associated with &quot;religious, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, agoraphobia, generalized anxiety disorder, grief, and substance use disorder.”&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Kurhade|first=Chhaya Shantaram|last2=Jagannathan|first2=Aarti|last3=Varambally|first3=Shivarama|last4=Shivanna|first4=Sushrutha|date=2022-01|title=Religion-based interventions for mental health disorders: A systematic review|url=https://journals.lww.com/10.4103/ijoyppp.ijoyppp_14_21|journal=Journal of Applied Consciousness Studies|language=en|volume=10|issue=1|pages=20–33|doi=10.4103/ijoyppp.ijoyppp_14_21|issn=2949-6993}}&lt;/ref&gt; Additionally, a community-based study of elderly patients in Bangalore, India receiving Islamic-based psychotherapy observed decreased exhibitions of sleep disorders, eating disorders, and emotional distress&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Hafeez|first=Nimin|last2=Sanjay|first2=Thittamaranahalli Varadappa|last3=Puthussery|first3=Yannick Poulose|last4=Madhusudan|first4=Muralidhar|last5=Kariyappa|first5=Poornima Muddaiah|last6=Kulkarni|first6=Sridevi|last7=Raj|first7=Lavanya|date=2023-12-31|title=Spiritual practices among elderly, prevalence, pattern and associated factors: a community-based study from rural Bengaluru, India|url=https://jccpsl.sljol.info/articles/10.4038/jccpsl.v29i4.8610|journal=Journal of the College of Community Physicians of Sri Lanka|language=en|volume=29|issue=4|doi=10.4038/jccpsl.v29i4.8610|issn=1391-3174}}&lt;/ref&gt;. 

=== Hinduism ===
Despite Hindus being 12.6% of the population of Sri Lanka, the research on Hinduism-based therapy in the country is limited. Ayurvedic medicine, a form of medicine originating from ancient India, predominated the Sri Lankan medical landscape for over 2,000 years and even had a symbiotic relationship with Sinhalese medicine, which also played a significant and influential role in the country's medical framework&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Udayanga|first=Samitha|date=2021-06-30|title=Cultural understanding of ‘spiritual well-being’ and ‘psychological well-being’ among Sinhalese Buddhists in Sri Lanka|url=https://sljss.sljol.info/article/10.4038/sljss.v44i1.7990/|journal=Sri Lanka Journal of Social Sciences|volume=44|issue=1|pages=33|doi=10.4038/sljss.v44i1.7990|issn=2478-1169}}&lt;/ref&gt;. Despite its historical dominance, Ayurvedic medicine has been challenged against modern evidence-based medical standards&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite book|url=https://philarchive.org/rec/DOMAAT|title=Ayurveda: Ancient Tradition or Pseudoscientific Practice? A Philosophical Inquiry|last=Dominic|first=Shubham K.}}&lt;/ref&gt;.

=== Comparative synthesis ===
Taking an overarching review of the role of religion in Sri Lanka, methods to improve mental well-being are practiced by adherents of Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, and Christianity. These methods are practiced through karma, tawakkul, hope, and humility. Additionally, these practices are implemented in traditionally-oriented mental health care, which has been reported to be preferred over psychiatric care at times. These rituals practiced across these religions indicate a common theme of psychologically integrated aspects of well-being. Interpretation of trauma is a central use in religion, with religious principles, such as karma and ''tawakkul'', serving as psychologically analogous mechanisms during times of distress.  

In terms of methodological comparisons to the studies described, qualitative interviews have documented Buddhist practices and principles, like Bodhipuja and the belief in karma, in response to traumatic events, while case studies found religious practices by other religious groups, such as a Muslim patient reading Islamic scripture and observing prayer to reduce emotional distress. Peer-reviewed sources have documented Catholic practices and principles, such as ''Lectio Divina'' and unconditional positive regard, in improving mindfulness and emotional regulation. The paper acknowledges limitations in the evaluation of certain findings, such as in Islam and Hinduism. These shortcomings, however, are a reflection of the existing literature and its deficiencies. Empirical findings indicate mental health practices are complex and are multifaceted in their effects. 

Evidently, religion serves a parallel role to psychiatric services in improving mental health. Despite its perceived benefits, the findings surrounding religions' role in mental health suffer from conflicting, and sometimes contradictory, results. Additionally, a disproportionate amount of empirical findings seem to be Buddhist-predominant, while other religions are underrepresented in the research. Regarding research barriers, the methodological approaches implemented to study the practices of religious followers vary, though much of the research was brought from qualitative or case-based studies, impeding generalizability. Another noteworthy issue is that many studies do not utilize standardized, psychiatric measures.

== Future Outlook ==
Despite significant changes to the mental health environment in Sri Lanka, the current legal framework shaping mental health in the country has not been updated since 1956. A Cambridge University Press article detailed many limitations of the Mental Disease Ordinance of 1956, including discrepancies between the legal provisions of involuntary admissions and modern practices, potential exposure to trauma through extra-legal detentions of the mentally ill, and an absence of legal guidelines addressing the restraint of violent patients&lt;ref name=&quot;:6&quot; /&gt;. Participants from Sri Lanka reported in a comparative legislative questionnaire that they felt the mental health laws were &quot;outdated&quot; and descriptions of clinical roles remained ambiguous&lt;ref name=&quot;:16&quot; /&gt;. A draft mental health legislation from 2007 included provisions for human rights, but due to &quot;bureaucratic processes&quot; and a &quot;lack of consensus&quot;, the draft has not been officially approved.

These limitations pose challenges to the standardization of mental healthcare admissions and may impact the rights of detained patients. Detained patients may have their human rights violated due to a lack of an up-to-date legal framework, thereby impeding the identification of such violations. Additionally, with the lack of clarity on clinical roles, clinical responsibilities may not be routinely recognized and observed, leading to role confusion and potential legal ramifications&lt;ref name=&quot;:16&quot;&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Dey|first=Sangeeta|last2=Mellsop|first2=Graham|last3=Diesfeld|first3=Kate|last4=Dharmawardene|first4=Vajira|last5=Mendis|first5=Susitha|last6=Chaudhuri|first6=Sreemanti|last7=Deb|first7=Aniruddha|last8=Huq|first8=Nafisa|last9=Ahmed|first9=Helal Uddin|date=2019-10-24|title=Comparing legislation for involuntary admission and treatment of mental illness in four South Asian countries|url=https://ijmhs.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13033-019-0322-7|journal=International Journal of Mental Health Systems|volume=13|issue=1|pages=67|doi=10.1186/s13033-019-0322-7|issn=1752-4458|pmc=6813093|pmid=31666805}}&lt;/ref&gt;. Lastly, current efforts should ideally move beyond just addressing poverty-centered matters, but also expand efforts to domestic violence victims and children with disabilities, as shelters and specialized services are limited&lt;ref name=&quot;:82&quot;&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Augustyniak|first=Nadia|date=2025-06-01|title=Public mental healthcare and economic vulnerability in Sri Lanka|url=https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S2666560324000926|journal=SSM - Mental Health|volume=7|pages=100387|doi=10.1016/j.ssmmh.2024.100387|issn=2666-5603}}&lt;/ref&gt;.

Stagnation in policy development leaves Sri Lanka without a practical, up-to-date, and comprehensive mental health framework, which could put both clinicians and patients at risk. Future reforms should include clarification on the treatment and detention process of involuntary admissions of patients and a clear delineation of clinical roles and their responsibilities. Without the necessary reforms to advance Sri Lankan mental health legislation, clinicians and vulnerable patients may suffer from a lack of comprehensive oversight.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Steinbach discovered the formula for the ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. Fontaine and Hurley extended this result, discovering a formula for the reciprocal of a regular polygon chord derived geometrically from the chord's star polygon. We observe that these findings in plane geometry apply more generally, to polytopes of any dimensionality. Fontaine and Hurley's geometric procedure for finding the reciprocals of the chords of a regular polygon from their star polygons also finds the rotational geodesics of any polytope of any dimensionality.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
== Introduction ==
Steinbach discovered the Diagonal Product Formula and the Golden Fields family of ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. He showed how this family extends beyond the pentagon {5} with its well-known golden bisection proportional to 𝜙, finding that the heptagon {7} has an analogous trisection, the nonagon {9} has an analogous quadrasection, and the hendecagon {11} has an analogous pentasection, an extended family of golden proportions with quasiperiodic properties. 

Kappraff and Adamson extended these findings in plane geometry to a theory of Generalized Fibonacci Sequences, showing that the Golden Fields not only do not end with the hendecagon, they form an infinite number of periodic trajectories when operated on by the Mandelbrot operator. They found a relation between the edges of star polygons and dynamical systems in the state of chaos, revealing a connection between chaos theory, number, and rotations in Coxeter Euclidean geometry. 

Fontaine and Hurley examined Steinbach's finding that the length of each chord of a regular polygon is both the product of two chords and the sum of a set of smaller chords, so that in rotations to add is to multiply. They illustrated Steinbach's sets of additive chords lying parallel to each other in the plane (pointing in the same direction), and by applying Steinbach's formula more generally they found another summation relation of signed parallel chords (pointing in opposite directions) which relates each chord length to its reciprocal, and relates the summation to a distinct star polygon rotation. 

We examine these remarkable findings (which stem from study of the chords of humble regular polygons) in higher-dimensional spaces, specifically in the chords, polygons and rotations of the [[120-cell]], the largest four-dimensional regular convex polytope.

[[120-cell#Geometry|The 120-cell is the maximally complex regular 4-polytope]], containing inscribed instances of every regular 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-polytope, except the regular polygons of more than {15} sides. 

The 120-cell is the convex hull of a regular [[120-cell#Relationships among interior polytopes|compound of each of the 6 regular convex 4-polytopes]]. They are the [[5-cell|5-point (5-cell) 4-simplex]], the [[16-cell|8-point (16-cell) 4-orthoplex]], the [[W:Tesseract|16-point (8-cell) tesseract]], the [[24-cell|24-point (24-cell)]], the [[600-cell|120-point (600-cell)]], and the [[120-cell|600-point (120-cell)]]. The 120-cell is the convex hull of a compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells, of 75 disjoint 16-cells, of 25 disjoint 24-cells, and of 5 disjoint 600-cells.

The 120-cell contains an even larger inventory of irregular polytopes, created by the intersection of multiple instances of these component regular 4-polytopes. Many are quite unexpected, because they do not occur as components of any regular polytope smaller than the 120-cell. As just one example among the [[120-cell#Concentric hulls|sections of the 120-cell]], there is an irregular 24-point polyhedron with 16 triangle faces and 4 nonagon {9} faces.{{Sfn|Moxness|}}

Most renderings of the 120-cell, like the rotating projection here, only illustrate its outer surface, which is a honeycomb of face-bonded dodecahedral cells. Only the objects in its 3-dimensional surface are rendered, namely the 120 dodecahedra, their pentagon faces, and their edges. Although the 120-cell has chords of 30 distinct lengths, in this kind of simplified rendering only the 120-cell's own edges (its shortest chord) are shown. Its 29 interior chords, the edges of objects in the interior of the 120-cell, are not rendered, so interior objects are not visible at all.

Visualizing the complete interior of the 600-vertex 120-cell in a single image is impractical because of its complexity. Only four 120-cell edges are incident at each vertex, but [[120-cell#Chords|600 chords (of all 30 lengths)]] are incident at ''each'' vertex.

== Compounds in the 120-cell ==
The 8-point (16-cell), not the 5-point (5-cell), is the smallest building block; it compounds to every larger regular 4-polytope. The 5-point (5-cell) does compound to the 600-point (120-cell), but it does not fit into any smaller regular 4-polytope. 

The 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 2 in the 16-point (8-cell), and by 3 in the 24-point (24-cell). The 16-point (8-cell) compounds in the 24-point (24-cell) by 3 non-disjoint instances of itself, with each of the 24 vertices shared by two 16-point (8-cells). The 24-point (24-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell), and the 120-point (600-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell).

The 24-point (24-cell) also compounds by 5&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; non-disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell); it compounds in 5 disjoint instances of itself, 10 (not 5) different ways. Whichever set of 5 disjoint 24-point (24-cells) are assembled, the resulting 120-point (600-cell) contains 25 distinct 24-point (24-cells), not just 5 (or 10). This implies that 15 disjoint 8-point (16-cells) will construct a 120-point (600-cell), which will contain 75 distinct 8-point (16-cells). 

The 600-point (120-cell) is 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), just 2 different ways (not 5 or 10 ways), so it is 10 distinct 120-point (600-cells). This implies that the 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 3 times 5&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; (75) disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell), which contains 3&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; times  5&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; (225) distinct instances of the 24-point (24-cell), and  3&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt; times 5&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; (675) distinct instances of the 8-point (16-cell). 

These facts were discovered painstakingly by various researchers, and no one has found a general rule governing subsumption relations among regular polytopes. The reasons for some of their numeric incidence relations are far from obvious. [[W:Pieter Hendrik Schoute|Schoute]] was the first to see that the 120-point (600-cell) is a compound of 5 24-point (24-cells) ''10 different ways'', and after he saw it a hundred years lapsed until Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler &amp; Claiborne proved his result, and showed why.{{Sfn|Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler &amp; Claiborne|2020|loc=''The geometry of H4 polytopes''}}

So much for the compounds of 16-cells. The 120-cell is also the convex hull of the compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells. That stellated compound (without its convex hull of 120-cell edges) is the [[w:Great_grand_stellated_120-cell|great grand stellated 120-cell]] illustrated above, the final regular [[W:Stellation|stellation]] of the 120-cell, and the only [[W:Schläfli-Hess polychoron|regular star 4-polytope]] to have the 120-cell for its convex hull. The edges of the great grand stellated 120-cell are &lt;math&gt;\phi^6&lt;/math&gt; as long as those of its 120-cell [[W:List of polyhedral stellations#Stellation process|stellation core]] deep inside.

The compound of 120 disjoint 5-point (5-cells) can be seen to be equivalent to the compound of 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), as follows. Beginning with a single 120-point (600-cell), expand each vertex into a regular 5-cell, by adding 4 new equidistant vertices, such that the 5 vertices form a regular 5-cell inscribed in the 3-sphere. The 120 5-cells are disjoint, and the 600 vertices form 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells): a 120-cell.

The 30 numbers listed in the table are all-important in Euclidean geometry. A case can be made on symmetry grounds that their squares are the 30 most important numbers between 0 and 4. The 30 rows of the table are the 30 distinct [[120-cell#Geodesic rectangles|chord lengths of the unit-radius 120-cell]], the largest regular convex 4-polytope. Since the 120-cell subsumes all smaller regular polytopes, its 30 chords are the complete chord set of all the regular polytopes that can be constructed in the first four dimensions of Euclidean space, except for regular polygons of more than 15 sides.

== The 16-cell 4-orthoplex ==
In 2-space we have the regular 8-point octagon, in 3-space the regular 8-point cube, and in 4-space the regular 8-point [[16-cell]].

A planar octagon with rigid edges of unit length has chords of length:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=1,r_2=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.848,r_3=\sqrt{2}+1 \approx 2.414,r_4=\sqrt{4 + \sqrt{8}} \approx 2.613&lt;/math&gt;

The chord ratio &lt;math&gt;r_3=\sqrt{2}+1&lt;/math&gt; is a geometrical proportion, the [[W:Silver ratio|silver ratio]]. Fontaine and Hurley's procedure for obtaining the reciprocal of a chord tells us that:

:&lt;math&gt;r_3-r_1-r_1=1/r_3 \approx 0.414&lt;/math&gt;

Note that &lt;math&gt;r_3-2=1/r_3=\sqrt{2}-1&lt;/math&gt;. Their procedure rotates counterclockwise over three &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords of an {8/3} octagram. Over the first &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chord the displacement is &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}+r_1&lt;/math&gt;. Over the second &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chord it moves in the opposite direction a distance of &lt;math&gt;-r_1&lt;/math&gt; . Over the third &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chord it also moves a distance of &lt;math&gt;-r_1&lt;/math&gt;.

If we embed the planar octagon in 3-space, we can make it skew, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from three others instead of two others, at the vertices of a unit-edge cube with chords of length:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=1, r_2=\sqrt{2}, r_3=\sqrt{3}, r_4=\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;

If we embed this cube in 4-space, we can skew it some more, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from six others instead of three others, at the vertices of a unit-edge 4-polytope with chords of length:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=1,r_2=1,r_3=1,r_4=\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;

All of its chords except its long diameters are the same unit length as its edge. In fact they are its 24 edges, and it is a 16-cell of radius &lt;math&gt;1/\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;.

Only its edges are shown; its long diameter chords are not drawn. All 24 edges are the same length and none lie parallel to the projection plane. The octagon circumference is a Petrie polygon. The two disjoint squares lie in completely orthogonal central planes. The blue octagram is a Clifford polygon. ]]

The [[16-cell]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{3,3,4\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;. It has 8 vertices, 24 edges, 32 equilateral triangle faces, and 16 regular tetrahedron cells. It is the [[16-cell#Octahedral dipyramid|four-dimensional analogue of the octahedron]], and each of its four orthogonal central hyperplanes is an octahedron.

The only planar regular polygons found in the 16-cell are face triangles and central plane squares, but the 16-cell also contains a skew regular octagon, its [[W:Petrie polygon|Petrie polygon]].{{Efn|name=Petrie polygon of a honeycomb}} The chords of this regular octagon, which lies skew in 4-space, are those given above for the 16-cell, as opposed to those for the cube or the regular octagon in the plane. The 16-cell is a construct of 3 Petrie octagons which share the same 8 vertices but have disjoint sets of 8 edges each.

The regular octad has higher symmetry in 4-space than it does in 2-space. The 16-cell is the 4-[[w:Cross-polytope|orthoplex]], the simplest regular 4-polytope after the [[5-cell|4-simplex]]. All the larger regular convex 4-polytopes are compounds of the 16-cell. The regular octagon exhibits this high symmetry only when embedded in 4-space at the vertices of the 16-cell.

The 16-cell constitutes an [[W:Orthonormal basis|orthonormal basis]] for the choice of a 4-dimensional Cartesian reference frame, because its vertices define four orthogonal axes. The eight vertices of a unit-radius 16-cell are (±1, 0, 0, 0), (0, ±1, 0, 0), (0, 0, ±1, 0), (0, 0, 0, ±1). All vertices are connected by &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; edges except opposite pairs. 

The vertex coordinates of the 16-cell form 6 central squares lying in 6 pairwise [[W:Orthogonal|orthogonal]] coordinate planes. Great squares in opposite planes that do not share an axis (e.g. in the ''xy'' and ''wz'' planes) are completely disjoint (they do not intersect at any vertices). These planes are [[W:Completely orthogonal|completely orthogonal]].{{Efn|name=Six orthogonal planes of the Cartesian basis}}

Since the unit-radius coordinate system is convenient, let us derive the unit-radius 16-cell by skewing a unit-radius planar octagon, which has chords of length:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.765,r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.848,r_4=2&lt;/math&gt;

We will need a planar octagon with rigid &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chords, rather than one with rigid &lt;math&gt;r_1&lt;/math&gt; edges. The octagon's &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chords form two disjoint great squares, visible in the orthogonal projection, which we can reposition in 3-space to form a cube by making them parallel, and in 4-space to form a 16-cell by making them completely orthogonal.

Each chord is a distinct 4-vector with a length and a direction. Since the edges of the 16-cell are all the same length &lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{2},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;, those chords are distinct only in the context of a rotation, where vertices circle over the chords of an &lt;math&gt;r_i&lt;/math&gt; polygon. The rotational curve over each &lt;math&gt;r_i&lt;/math&gt; chord makes &lt;math&gt;i&lt;/math&gt; 45° turns. The angle between two &lt;math&gt;r_i&lt;/math&gt; chords is &lt;math&gt;i \times 45^\circ&lt;/math&gt;.

[[File:16-cell-orig.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 8-point 16-cell &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{3,3,4\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; performing a double rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}}]]
[[W:Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space|Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space]] can be seen as the composition of two 2-dimensional rotations in completely orthogonal planes. The general rotation in 4-space is a [[W:SO(4)#Double rotations|double rotation]] in pairs of completely orthogonal planes. Two completely orthogonal planes are called invariant planes of the rotation when all points in the plane rotate on circles that remain in the plane, even as the whole plane tilts sideways (like a coin flipping) into another plane. The two completely orthogonal rotations of each plane (like a wheel, and like a coin flipping) are simultaneous but independent, in that they are not geometrically constrained to turn at the same rate. However, the most circular kind of rotation (as opposed to an elliptical double rotation of a rigid spherical object) occurs when the completely orthogonal planes do rotate through the same angle in the same time interval. Such equi-angled double rotations are called [[w:SO(4)#Isoclinic_rotations|isoclinic]], also [[w:William_Kingdon_Clifford|Clifford]] displacements.

The &lt;math&gt;r_1&lt;/math&gt; chords of the 16-cell form a Petrie polygon {8/1} which zig-zags back and forth, in the left and right rotational directions, between two completely orthogonal great squares formed by &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chords.

The &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chords  form the ''edge polygon'' of the 16-cell {8/2}=2{4}. The two completely orthogonal great squares lie parallel and perpendicular to each other. A ''simple'' rotation of the 16-cell in ''one'' of those two square central planes rotates that square like a wheel, while the other square does not move.{{Efn|name=simple rotations}} The four vertices of the rotating square orbit on a great circle in the plane.

The &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords of the 16-cell form a circular helix, visible as a blue {8/3} octagram in the orthogonal projection. A ''double'' rotation of the 16-cell, in both of two completely orthogonal invariant &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; square planes at once by equal angles, moves the eight vertices along the circular helix over the &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords. The vertex motion is a [[w:Geodesic|geodesic]] circle orbit on the 3-sphere of a special kind: it does not lie in a central plane, its [[w:Winding_number|winding number]] is not 1 (it is 3 in this case), its circumference is not &lt;math&gt;2\pi&lt;/math&gt; (it is &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; in this case), and it moves in either a left or right handed circular spiral. We shall refer to such a chiral circle orbit as an ''isocline'', and to the skew polygram of its rotational chords as a ''Clifford polygon''.

The 16-cell is the simplest possible frame in which to [[16-cell#Rotations|observe 4-dimensional rotations]] because its characteristic rotations feature a single pair of invariant rotation planes. In the 16-cell an isoclinic rotation by 90° in any pair of invariant completely orthogonal square central planes takes every great square to its completely orthogonal great square in a twisting displacement, as the invariant planes tilt sideways 90° into each other's plane while rotating 90° internally. All the vertices move at once along the same circular helix geodesic isocline of &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords, displaced 90° in 8 orthogonal directions, and the rigid 16-cell assumes a new orientation in 4-space. When the 90° isoclinic rotation is continued in the same rotational direction through an additional 90°, each vertex is again displaced 90°, but from the new orientation in a direction orthogonal to its first 90° displacement. The rotational curve over each 90° &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chord makes three 45° turns. In 360° of isoclinic rotation over four &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords, each vertex makes six 90° turns and reaches its antipodal position.

The trajectory of each vertex over each 90° isoclinic rotational displacement is a one-eighth segment of its geodesic orbit. Its entire orbit traces an isocline circle in 4-space of circumference &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; over eight &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane twice, over the four &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; edges of a great square in one of the two moving invariant rotation planes. In the course of a 720° isoclinic revolution each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 16-cell returns to its original orientation.

We shall refer to this isoclinic rotation as the ''characteristic rotation of the 16-cell'', and note once again that it is Fontaine and Hurley's counterclockwise rotation over the &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; {8/3} star polygon, which constructs &lt;math&gt;1/r_3&lt;/math&gt;.

== The 8-cell tesseract ==
The long diameter of the unit-edge [[W:Hypercube|hypercube]] of dimension &lt;math&gt;n&lt;/math&gt; is &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{n}&lt;/math&gt;, so the unit-edge [[w:Tesseract|4-hypercube, the 16-point (8-cell) tesseract,]] has chords:
:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;
Uniquely in its 4-dimensional case, the hypercube's edge length equals its radius, like the hexagon. We call such polytopes ''radially equilateral'', because they can be constructed from equilateral triangles which meet at their center, each contributing two radii and an edge. The [[w:Cuboctahedron|cuboctahedron]] and the 24-cell are also radially equilateral.

[[File:8-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 16-point (8-cell) tesseract &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{4,3,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; performing a simple rotation about a plane in 4-space.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}} The stationary plane bisects the figure from front-left to back-right and top to bottom.]]
The [[W:Tesseract|tesseract]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{4,3,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;. It has 16 vertices, 32 edges, 24 square faces, and 8 cube cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the cube.

The 16-point tesseract is the convex hull of a compound of two 8-point 16-cells, in exact dimensional analogy to the way the 8-point cube is the convex hull of a [[W:Stellated octahedron|compound of two 4-point regular tetrahedra]]. The [[W:Demihypercube|demihypercubes]] occupy alternate vertices of the hypercubes. The diagonals of the square faces of the unit-edge, unit-radius tesseract are the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; edges of two unit-radius 16-cells, also the edges of the square central planes.

We can rotate the tesseract isoclinically the way we rotated the 16-cell, by 90° in the characteristic rotation of the 16-cell, with the same effect on both alternate-position 16-cells. In the course of a 720° revolution each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, but it does not visit the vertex positions of the other 16-cell. The two skew {8/3} octagram Clifford polygons lie on two disjoint parallel isoclines of the same chirality, of circumference &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; chords. They form a circular double helix which intersects each vertex of the tesseract once. The helix is an 8-rung ladder twisted 3 times, bent into a circle in the fourth dimension. Each rung is a tesseract edge.

The tesseract is the [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]] of the 16-cell. They have the same Petrie polygon, the regular skew octagon, but the tesseract is a construct of 4 Petrie octagons with disjoint sets of 8 tesseract edges each. We can construct the tesseract by skewing two planar octagons. Because the tesseract is radially equilateral (unlike the 16-cell), we use two octagons of unit-edge length to build the unit-radius tesseract. To start we embed the planar octagons in 4-space at the same point and make them completely orthogonal. Then we skew each planar octagon into a cube, so we have a compound of two completely orthogonal cubes, provided we skewed them both in the same direction. The 16 vertices will be the vertices of a tesseract with half its 32 edges missing.

Because the tesseract contains two 16-cells in alternate positions it has two sets of 6 orthogonal square central planes. Two angles are required to specify the relationship between two planes in 4-space. Pairs of square central planes within each 16-cell are 90° apart in one angle, and either 0° or 90° apart in the other angle. They are 90° apart in both angles if and only if they are completely orthogonal planes, 90° apart by isoclinic rotation, with no vertices in common. Otherwise they are 0° apart in one of the angles, 90° apart by simple rotation, and they intersect in one axis and lie in a common 3-dimensional hyperplane.{{Efn|A double rotation in which one of the two angles of rotation is 0°, so that one of the completely orthogonal invariant planes does not rotate, is called a simple rotation. Ordinary rotations observed in a 3-dimensional space are simple rotations.|name=simple rotations}}

A pair of square central planes from alternate-position 16-cells are 60° apart by isoclinic rotation, with their corresponding vertices 120° apart. The planes are not orthogonal or parallel, so they intersect in a line somewhere, but they have no vertices in common, they have no 3-dimensional hyperplane in common, and they cannot reach each other by simple rotation. Such pairs of objects are called [[W:Clifford parallel|Clifford parallel]] because all their corresponding pairs of vertices are the same distance apart, although they are not parallel in the usual sense, because they have a common center. Not only the alternate-position 16-cells' corresponding square central planes, but also the 16-cells themselves, are Clifford parallel objects. More generally, multiple disjoint instances of a 4-polytope which compound to make a larger 4-polytope are Clifford parallel objects.

== The 24-cell ==
[[File:24-cell vertex geometry.png|thumb|Planar geometry of the radially equilateral 24-cell, showing its 3 great circle polygons and its 4 chord lengths.]]
In 2-space we have the radially equilateral 6-point hexagon. In 3-space we have the radially equilateral 12-point cuboctahedron, with 4 hexagonal central planes. In 4-space we have the radially equilateral 24-point 24-cell, with 12 cuboctahedron central hyperplanes and 16 hexagonal central planes.

The [[24-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{3,4,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;. It has 24 vertices, 96 edges, 96 equilateral triangle faces, and 24 octahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the cuboctahedron.

The 24-cell has the same chord set as the 4-hypercube tesseract:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;

[[Image:24-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 24-point 24-cell &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{3,4,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; performing a simple rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}} The 3-dimensional surface made of 24 octahedra is visible.]]
The 24-cell is [[W:Dual polytope|self-dual]], like the regular polygons and regular simplexes. It is the maximal regular construct of triangles and squares (with no pentagons). It is the convex hull of a compound of three disjoint 8-point 16-cells, rotated 60° isoclinically with respect to each other. Each of the three pairs of 16-cells is a tesseract. Each 24-cell edge is also a tesseract edge. The corresponding vertices of two 16-cells or two tesseracts are 120° apart by a &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chord. Each tesseract has 8 cube cells, and each cube has four &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; long diameters. The &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chords joining the corresponding vertices of two tesseracts belong to the third tesseract as cell long diameters.

The 24-cell's Petrie polygon is the regular dodecagon {12}, which has chords:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\tfrac{\sqrt{3}-1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.518,r_2=\sqrt{1},r_3=\sqrt{2},r_4=\sqrt{3},r_5=\tfrac{\sqrt{3}+1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.932,r_6=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;

Fontaine and Hurley's procedure for obtaining the reciprocal of a chord tells us that: 

:&lt;math&gt;r_5-r_3+r_1+r_1-r_3=1/r_5&lt;/math&gt;

when &lt;math&gt;r_1=1&lt;/math&gt;. The procedure rotates counterclockwise over five &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; chords of a {12/5} dodecagram. In the system of unit-radius coordinates &lt;math&gt;r_1=1/r_5&lt;/math&gt;.

The &lt;math&gt;r_1&lt;/math&gt; and &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; chords of the planar dodecagon do not occur in the 24-cell, which is a construct of eight skew dodecagons with disjoint sets of twelve &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt; edges each. In the skew dodecagons the chord lengths are:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{1},r_3=\sqrt{2},r_4=\sqrt{3},r_5=\sqrt{3},r_6=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;

Where chords are the same length, they are distinct only in the context of a rotation.

[[File:dodecagon24cell.png|thumb|Orthogonal projection of half a 24-cell to the [[24-cell#Geodesics|F&lt;sub&gt;4&lt;/sub&gt; Coxeter plane]]. Only one Petrie dodecagon {12} of the 24-cell is shown. In a unit-radius 24-cell, all black lines are 24-cell edges of unit length, also tesseract edges. The two disjoint hexagons lie in Clifford parallel central planes. Blue chords are &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; 16-cell edges, also isocline chords in square rotations. Green chords are &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; distances between corresponding vertices of two 16-cells, also isocline chords in hexagon rotations. The green {12/5} dodecagram is a Clifford polygon.]]
[[File:Regular_star_figure_3(8,3).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/9}=3{8/3} &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;]]
We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in Clifford parallel invariant planes containing 16-cell edges, for example in the characteristic rotation of the 16-cell, with the same effect on all three 16-cells. In 720° each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, but it does not visit the vertex positions of the other 16-cells. The rotational curve over each 90° &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; chord makes three 45° turns. Three Clifford parallel {8/3} octagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; chords form a circular triple helix {24/9}=3{8/3} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once.

We can also rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in Clifford parallel invariant planes containing 24-cell edges. A complete 24-cell great circle edge plane revolution requires 720° like a complete 16-cell great circle edge plane revolution, but it is completed in 12 isoclinic displacements of 60° each rather than 8 isoclinic displacements of 90° each.  An isoclinic rotation by 60° in any invariant central plane containing a 24-cell edge takes every great hexagon to a Clifford parallel great hexagon in a twisting displacement, as all the central planes tilt sideways 60° while rotating 60° internally. It also takes every great square to a Clifford parallel great square. All 24 vertices move at once on Clifford parallel geodesic isoclines, displaced 120° in different directions. The trajectory of each vertex over each 60° rotational displacement is a one-twelfth segment of its geodesic orbit, and its entire orbit traces an isocline circle in 4-space over &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chords. There are two distinct ways we can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in invariant planes containing 24-cell edges, called the ''characteristic left rotation'' and the ''characteristic right rotation'', respectively.

[[File:Regular star figure 2(12,5).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/10}=2{12/5} shows 2 dodecagram isoclines of &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; chords in the 24-cell]]
We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in 12 Clifford parallel invariant planes containing two &lt;math&gt;r_{1}&lt;/math&gt; edges each, over &lt;math&gt;r_{5}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. This is the ''characteristic left rotation of the 24-cell'', also Fontaine and Hurley's counterclockwise rotation over the &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; 2{12/5} star polygon which constructs &lt;math&gt;1/r_5&lt;/math&gt;. The rotational curve over each 120° &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; chord makes five 30° turns. Two Clifford parallel {12/5} dodecagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;10\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular double helix {24/10}=2{12/5} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once. The orbit of each vertex traces an isocline circle in 4-space over 12 &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane 5 times in a moving invariant rotation plane. In the course of a 720° revolution each vertex departs from 12 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 24-cell returns to its original orientation. 

[[File:Regular_star_figure_8(3,1).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/8}=8{3}&lt;small&gt; &lt;/small&gt;shows 8 of 32&lt;small&gt; &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; triangles in the 24-cell]]
We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in 4 Clifford parallel invariant great hexagon planes containing six &lt;math&gt;r_{2}&lt;/math&gt; edges each, over &lt;math&gt;r_{4}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. This is the ''characteristic right rotation of the 24-cell'', also Fontaine and Hurley's counterclockwise rotation over the &lt;math&gt;r_4&lt;/math&gt; 8{3} star polygon which constructs &lt;math&gt;1/r_4&lt;/math&gt;. The rotational curve over each 120° &lt;math&gt;r_4&lt;/math&gt; chord makes four 30° turns.  Eight Clifford parallel triangle geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;2\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;r_4&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular fibration of 8 twisted parallel strands {24/8}=8{3} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once. In three successive 60° isoclinic displacements each vertex circles a triangle and returns to its original position, but the 24-cell returns to its original orientation only after each vertex has completed circuits of the four distinct triangles which intersect at the vertex. The isocline curves over a self-intersecting dodecagram of 12 &lt;math&gt;r_4&lt;/math&gt; chords.

By examining the chords &lt;math&gt;r_i&lt;/math&gt; of the 24-cell's Petrie {12}-gon we found three distinct isoclinic rotations. If we examine the chords &lt;math&gt;t_i&lt;/math&gt; of the 24-cell's {24}-gon we find these and also three other distinct isoclinic rotations.  

Each row of the table is a distinct isoclinic rotation of the 24-cell characterized by a pair of chords that sum to 180°. The edge chords form the rotation's edge {24}-gon, and lie in invariant planes of the rotation. The isocline chords form the rotation's Clifford {24}-gon and lie in the invariant planes completely orthogonal to the edge planes. The rotational angle between successive edge chords and the rotational angle between successive isocline chords also sum to 180°.  

We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in Clifford parallel invariant planes containing 16-cell edges in 6 Clifford parallel invariant great square planes containing four &lt;math&gt;t_{6}&lt;/math&gt; edges each, over &lt;math&gt;t_{6}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. The &lt;math&gt;t_6&lt;/math&gt; chord is the 16-cell-&lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chord. The edge polygon and the Clifford polygon are both {24/6}=6{4}. This is the ''characteristic right rotation of the 24-cell''.  

The rotational curve over each 90° &lt;math&gt;t_6&lt;/math&gt; chord makes six 15° turns.  Six Clifford parallel skew triangle geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;2\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;t_6&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular fibration of six twisted parallel strands that intersects each 24-cell vertex once. &lt;s&gt;In every 360° of isoclinic rotation each vertex circles a skew great square and returns to its original position, but the 24-cell returns to its original orientation only after each vertex has completed circuits of the three distinct skew squares which intersect at the vertex and the three distinct skew squares which intersect at its antipodal vertex. The isocline curves over a self-intersecting {24}-gon of &lt;math&gt;t_6&lt;/math&gt; chords.&lt;/s&gt;

Invisible in this rendering are 25 inscribed instances of the 24-cell (above), which occur in the 600-cell as interior boundary envelopes.]]
The [[600-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{3,3,5\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;. It has 120 vertices, 720 edges, 1200 equilateral triangle faces, and 600 tetrahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the icosahedron.

The 600-cell rounds out the 24-cell by adding 96 more vertices (four more disjoint 24-cells) between the 24-cell's existing 24 vertices, in effect adding twenty-four more distinct 24-cells inscribed in the 600-cell. The new surface thus formed is a honeycomb of smaller, more numerous cells: tetrahedra of edge length &lt;math&gt;\phi^{-1} \approx 0.618&lt;/math&gt; instead of octahedra of edge length &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt;. It encloses the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt; edges of the 24-cells, which become invisible interior chords in the 600-cell, like the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; and &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chords.

Since the tetrahedra are made of shorter triangle edges than the octahedra (by a factor of &lt;math&gt;\phi^{-1}&lt;/math&gt;, the inverse golden ratio), the 600-cell is not radially equilateral like the 24-cell and the tesseract. Like them it is radially triangular in a special way, but one in which [[w:Golden_triangle_(mathematics)|golden triangles]] rather than equilateral triangles meet at the center.

In 2-space we have the ''radially golden'' [[W:Decagon#The golden ratio in decagon|regular decagon]]. In 3-space we have the radially golden 30-point [[W:icosidodecahedron|icosidodecahedron]], with 6 decagon central planes. In 4-space we have the radially golden 120-point 600-cell, with 60 icosidodecahedron central hyperplanes and 72 decagon central planes.

The 600-cell's Petrie polygon is the regular [[w:Triacontagon|triacontagon {30}]]. The unit-radius planar {30}-gon has these distinct chords:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=2 \sin (\tfrac{\pi}{15}/2) \approx 0.209&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_2=2 \sin (\tfrac{2\pi}{15}/2) \approx 0.416&lt;/math&gt;

:&lt;math&gt;r_6=2 \sin (\tfrac{2\pi}{5}/2)=\sqrt{3-\phi} \approx 1.176&lt;/math&gt;

:&lt;math&gt;r_8=2 \cos (\tfrac{7\pi}{15}/2) \approx 1.486&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_9=2 \sin (\tfrac{3\pi}{5}/2)=\phi \approx 1.618&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{10}=2 \sin (\tfrac{2\pi}{3}/2)=\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{11}=2 \cos (\tfrac{4\pi}{15}/2) \approx 1.827&lt;/math&gt;

In the skew {30}-gons the chord lengths are:

Where chords are the same length, they are distinct only in the context of a rotation.

The list of 600-cell chords &lt;math&gt;r_{i}&lt;/math&gt; can be rearranged into a table of 8 rows and 2 columns with a pair of 180° complements in each row. The short chord and long chord each have their characteristic {30/n}-gon. Each row identifies a discrete isoclinic rotation of the 600-cell in invariant central planes containing the edges of the short chord {30}-gon, over the isocline chords of the long chord {30}-gon, the rotation's Clifford polygon.

Each distinct pair of complementary chord lengths is identified with a distinct [[w:600-cell#Polyhedral sections|polyhedral section of the 600-cell]] beginning with a vertex. In spherical [[w:3-sphere|3-dimensional space &lt;math&gt;\mathbb{S}^3&lt;/math&gt;]], every vertex is the center of a set of 7 concentric polyhedra of increasing radii that nest like [[w:Matryoshka_doll|Russian dolls.]] The smallest polyhedral section at radial distance &lt;math&gt;\phi^{-1}&lt;/math&gt; is a icosahedron vertex figure, and the largest section at radial distance &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; is an [[W:Icosidodecahedron|icosidodecahedron]] central section bisecting the 600-cell. Because  [[w:3-sphere|&lt;math&gt;\mathbb{S}^3&lt;/math&gt;]] is spherical, at radial distances greater than &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; the successive complement-radius polyhedra decrease in size, to the antipodal icosahedron vertex figure at distance &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2+\phi}&lt;/math&gt;. In Euclidean 4-dimensional space &lt;math&gt;\mathbb{R}^4&lt;/math&gt;, every vertex is the apex of 7 [[w:Hyperpyramid|polyhedral pyramids]], where the pyramid's lateral edge length is the radial distance and its base polyhedron is the section. Each section lies parallel to a congruent complement-radius section (or coincident with it, in the case of the central section).

[[File:Regular_star_figure_3(8,3).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/9}=3{8/3} &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;]]
We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in the great square rotation characteristic of the 16-cell,  with the same effect on 15 disjoint 16-cells. Each 90° displacement takes 15 pairs of completely orthogonal invariant great square planes to each other. In the course of a 720° revolution each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, without visiting other vertex positions. The rotational curve over each 90° chord makes three 45° turns. Fifteen Clifford parallel {8/3} octagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular fibration of 15 twisted parallel strands 5{24/9}=15{8/3} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.

The 600-cell has another distinct isoclinic rotation in invariant great square planes, which has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. This [''great square left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell]'' takes place over &lt;math&gt;r_7&lt;/math&gt; edge chords and &lt;math&gt;r_8&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. The {30/7} edge polygon is a skew helix of circumference &lt;math&gt;14\pi&lt;/math&gt; with each &lt;math&gt;r_7&lt;/math&gt; edge belonging to a distinct great square. The four {30/7} polygrams contribute one edge each to 30 great squares. Each 90° displacement takes every 16-cell to another 16-cell. The vertices of the invariant great squares each make seven orbits on a great circle within the moving invariant plane in the course of one complete revolution. The rotational curve over each 90° {30/7} edge makes seven 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/7} geodesics of circumference &lt;math&gt;16\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. The {30/8}=2{15/4} Clifford polygon is a compound of two skew {15/4} pentadecagrams of circumference &lt;math&gt;16\pi&lt;/math&gt; with each &lt;math&gt;r_8&lt;/math&gt; isocline chord belonging to a distinct 16-cell. The four {30/8} polygrams contribute one edge each to 30 great squares. The rotational curve over each 90° {30/8} isocline chord makes eight 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/8} geodesics of circumference &lt;math&gt;16\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.

We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in the great hexagon rotation characteristic of the 24-cell, over &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt; edge chords and &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords, with the same effect on 5 disjoint 24-cells. In the course of a 720° revolution each vertex departs from 12 vertex positions of its 24-cell just once and returns to its original position, without visiting other vertex positions. Ten Clifford parallel {12/5} dodecagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;10\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular fibration of ten twisted parallel strands 5{24/10}=10{12/5} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. 

The 600-cell has another distinct isoclinic rotation in invariant great hexagon planes, over &lt;math&gt;r_{4}=\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt; edge chords and &lt;math&gt;r_{11}=\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords This [''invariant great hexagon left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell]'' has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. Its {30/11} Clifford polygon is a skew helix where each &lt;math&gt;r_{11}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chord is the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; diagonal of a great hexagon of a distinct 24-cell. The vertices of the invariant great hexagons of this rotation each make eleven orbits on a great circle within the moving invariant plane in the course of one complete revolution. The rotational curve over each 120° &lt;math&gt;r_{11}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chord makes eleven 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/11} geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;22\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;r_{11}&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. 

We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in 12 Clifford parallel invariant decagon central planes containing its 36° &lt;math&gt;r_{3}&lt;/math&gt; edges, over 144° &lt;math&gt;r_{12}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. This ''invariant great decagon rotation characteristic of the 600-cell'' has period 5 and takes disjoint 24-cells to each other. The rotational curve over each &lt;math&gt;r_{12}&lt;/math&gt; chord of its {5/2} Clifford polygon makes twelve 12° turns. 24 Clifford parallel {5/2} pentagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;4\pi&lt;/math&gt; over five &lt;math&gt;r_{12}&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular fibration of 24 twisted parallel strands 4{30/12}=24{5/2} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. 

The rotation of the 600-cell by 36° in any invariant decagon central plane takes every great decagon to a Clifford parallel great decagon in a twisting displacement, as all the central planes tilt sideways 36° while rotating 36° internally. It also takes every great hexagon to a Clifford parallel great hexagon, and every great square to a Clifford parallel great square. The 24-cells revolve within the 600-cell, as the 16-cells revolve within the 24-cells. All 120 vertices move at once on four Clifford parallel geodesic isoclines, displaced 144° in different directions.

The 600-cell has another distinct isoclinic rotation in invariant great decagon planes containing its 36° &lt;math&gt;r_{2}&lt;/math&gt; edges, over 144° &lt;math&gt;r_{13}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. This [''great decagon left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell]'' has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. The rotational curve over each 144° &lt;math&gt;r_{13}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chord makes thirteen 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/13} geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;26\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.

The [[User:Dc.samizdat/Golden chords of the 120-cell#Thirty distinguished distances|list of thirty 120-cell chords]] &lt;math&gt;c_{t}&lt;/math&gt; can be rearranged into a table of 16 rows and 2 columns with a pair of 180° complements in each row. This table first appears in [[w:Regular_Polytopes_(book)|''Regular Polytopes'']] (1947),{{Sfn|Coxeter|1973|loc=Table V(v): Simplified sections of {5,3,3} beginning with a vertex|pp=300-301}} where Coxeter identified each row with a distinct [[w:120-cell#Concentric_hulls|polyhedral section of the 120-cell]] beginning with a vertex. In spherical [[w:3-sphere|3-dimensional space &lt;math&gt;\mathbb{S}^3&lt;/math&gt;]], every vertex is the center of a set of 29 concentric polyhedra of increasing radii that nest like [[w:Matryoshka_doll|Russian dolls.]] The smallest polyhedral section at radial distance &lt;math&gt;c_1&lt;/math&gt; is a tetrahedron vertex figure, and the largest section at radial distance &lt;math&gt;c_{15}&lt;/math&gt; is a central section bisecting the 120-cell. Because  [[w:3-sphere|&lt;math&gt;\mathbb{S}^3&lt;/math&gt;]] is spherical, at radial distances greater than &lt;math&gt;c_{15}&lt;/math&gt; the successive complement-radius polyhedra decrease in size, to the antipodal tetrahedron vertex figure at distance &lt;math&gt;c_{29}&lt;/math&gt;. In Euclidean 4-dimensional space &lt;math&gt;\mathbb{R}^4&lt;/math&gt;, every vertex is the apex of 29 [[w:Hyperpyramid|polyhedral pyramids]], where the pyramid's lateral edge length is the radial distance and its base polyhedron is the section. Each section lies parallel to a congruent complement-radius section (or coincident with it, in the case of the central section). Each section also lies completely orthogonal to a congruent section. 

Only 8 of the 30 chords in the table occur in the 600-cell and the planar {30)-gon. The 120-cell's additional chords arise originally from the regular 5-cell, in its interaction with the other regular 4-polytopes that compound to make the 120-cell. Since all those polytopes except the 5-cell occur in the 600-cell, and the 600-cell and the 120-cell have the same symmetry group, the 5-cell's symmetry group is what's new in the 120-cell.

== Finally the 120-cell ==
The [[120-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{5,3,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;. It has 600 vertices, 1200 edges, 720 pentagon faces, and 120 dodecahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the dodecahedron.

The 120-cell is the [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]] of the 600-cell. They have the same Petrie polygon, the regular skew triacontagon {30}, but the 120-cell is a construct of 40 Petrie {30}-gons of edge length &lt;math&gt;c_1&lt;/math&gt;, two of which intersect in each tetrahedral vertex figure.

== Conclusions ==

Fontaine and Hurley's discovery is more than a geometric formula for the reciprocal of a regular ''n''-polygon diagonal. It also yields the discrete sequence of isocline chords of the characteristic isoclinic rotation of a ''d''-dimensional polytope in its invariant edge planes. The characteristic rotational chord sequence of the ''d''-polytope can be represented geometrically in two dimensions on a distinct star polygon, but it lies on a geodesic circle through ''d''-dimensional space. Fontaine and Hurley discovered the geodesic topology of polytopes generally. Their procedure will reveal the geodesics of arbitrary non-uniform polytopes, since it can be applied to a polytope of any dimensionality and irregularity, by first fitting the polytope to the smallest regular polygon whose chords include its chords. [If what is meant by this is its Petrie polygon, it is not quite necessary or possible with respect to the planar polygon chords, e.g. the planar Petrie polygon of the 600-cell does not contain the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; chord. But perhaps it would work if the fit is to the smallest regular skew polygon in the ''d''-space.]

The discovery of a chordal construction for discrete isoclinic rotations generally closes the circuit on Kappraff and Adamson's discovery of a rotational connection between dynamical systems, Steinbach's golden fields, and Coxeter's Euclidean geometry of ''n'' dimensions. Application of the Fontaine and Hurley procedure in the 120-cell demonstrates why the connection exists: because polytope sequences generally, from Steinbach's golden chord sequences in polygons, to sequences of star polygons in isoclinic rotations, to subsumption relations in the sequence of regular 4-polytopes, arise as expressions of the reflections and rotations of distinct Coxeter symmetry groups, when those various groups interact.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Steinbach discovered the formula for the ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. Fontaine and Hurley extended this result, discovering a formula for the reciprocal of a regular polygon chord derived geometrically from the chord's star polygon. We observe that these findings in plane geometry apply more generally, to polytopes of any dimensionality. Fontaine and Hurley's geometric procedure for finding the reciprocals of the chords of a regular polygon from their star polygons also finds the rotational geodesics of any polytope of any dimensionality.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
== Introduction ==
Steinbach discovered the Diagonal Product Formula and the Golden Fields family of ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. He showed how this family extends beyond the pentagon {5} with its well-known golden bisection proportional to 𝜙, finding that the heptagon {7} has an analogous trisection, the nonagon {9} has an analogous quadrasection, and the hendecagon {11} has an analogous pentasection, an extended family of golden proportions with quasiperiodic properties. 

Kappraff and Adamson extended these findings in plane geometry to a theory of Generalized Fibonacci Sequences, showing that the Golden Fields not only do not end with the hendecagon, they form an infinite number of periodic trajectories when operated on by the Mandelbrot operator. They found a relation between the edges of star polygons and dynamical systems in the state of chaos, revealing a connection between chaos theory, number, and rotations in Coxeter Euclidean geometry. 

Fontaine and Hurley examined Steinbach's finding that the length of each chord of a regular polygon is both the product of two chords and the sum of a set of smaller chords, so that in rotations to add is to multiply. They illustrated Steinbach's sets of additive chords lying parallel to each other in the plane (pointing in the same direction), and by applying Steinbach's formula more generally they found another summation relation of signed parallel chords (pointing in opposite directions) which relates each chord length to its reciprocal, and relates the summation to a distinct star polygon rotation. 

We examine these remarkable findings (which stem from study of the chords of humble regular polygons) in higher-dimensional spaces, specifically in the chords, polygons and rotations of the [[120-cell]], the largest four-dimensional regular convex polytope.

The complex interior parts of the 120-cell, all its inscribed 5-cells, 16-cells, 8-cells, 24-cells, 600-cells and its much larger inventory of polyhedra, are completely invisible in this view, as none of their edges are rendered at all.

[[120-cell#Geometry|The 120-cell is the maximally complex regular 4-polytope]], containing inscribed instances of every regular 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-polytope, except the regular polygons of more than {15} sides. 

The 120-cell is the convex hull of a regular [[120-cell#Relationships among interior polytopes|compound of each of the 6 regular convex 4-polytopes]]. They are the [[5-cell|5-point (5-cell) 4-simplex]], the [[16-cell|8-point (16-cell) 4-orthoplex]], the [[W:Tesseract|16-point (8-cell) tesseract]], the [[24-cell|24-point (24-cell)]], the [[600-cell|120-point (600-cell)]], and the [[120-cell|600-point (120-cell)]]. The 120-cell is the convex hull of a compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells, of 75 disjoint 16-cells, of 25 disjoint 24-cells, and of 5 disjoint 600-cells.

The 120-cell contains an even larger inventory of irregular polytopes, created by the intersection of multiple instances of these component regular 4-polytopes. Many are quite unexpected, because they do not occur as components of any regular polytope smaller than the 120-cell. As just one example among the [[120-cell#Concentric hulls|sections of the 120-cell]], there is an irregular 24-point polyhedron with 16 triangle faces and 4 nonagon {9} faces.{{Sfn|Moxness|}}

Most renderings of the 120-cell, like the rotating projection here, only illustrate its outer surface, which is a honeycomb of face-bonded dodecahedral cells. Only the objects in its 3-dimensional surface are rendered, namely the 120 dodecahedra, their pentagon faces, and their edges. Although the 120-cell has chords of 30 distinct lengths, in this kind of simplified rendering only the 120-cell's own edges (its shortest chord) are shown. Its 29 interior chords, the edges of objects in the interior of the 120-cell, are not rendered, so interior objects are not visible at all.

Visualizing the complete interior of the 600-vertex 120-cell in a single image is impractical because of its complexity. Only four 120-cell edges are incident at each vertex, but [[120-cell#Chords|600 chords (of all 30 lengths)]] are incident at ''each'' vertex.

== Compounds in the 120-cell ==
The 8-point (16-cell), not the 5-point (5-cell), is the smallest building block; it compounds to every larger regular 4-polytope. The 5-point (5-cell) does compound to the 600-point (120-cell), but it does not fit into any smaller regular 4-polytope. 

The 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 2 in the 16-point (8-cell), and by 3 in the 24-point (24-cell). The 16-point (8-cell) compounds in the 24-point (24-cell) by 3 non-disjoint instances of itself, with each of the 24 vertices shared by two 16-point (8-cells). The 24-point (24-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell), and the 120-point (600-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell).

The 24-point (24-cell) also compounds by 5&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; non-disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell); it compounds in 5 disjoint instances of itself, 10 (not 5) different ways. Whichever set of 5 disjoint 24-point (24-cells) are assembled, the resulting 120-point (600-cell) contains 25 distinct 24-point (24-cells), not just 5 (or 10). This implies that 15 disjoint 8-point (16-cells) will construct a 120-point (600-cell), which will contain 75 distinct 8-point (16-cells). 

The 600-point (120-cell) is 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), just 2 different ways (not 5 or 10 ways), so it is 10 distinct 120-point (600-cells). This implies that the 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 3 times 5&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; (75) disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell), which contains 3&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; times  5&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; (225) distinct instances of the 24-point (24-cell), and  3&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt; times 5&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; (675) distinct instances of the 8-point (16-cell). 

These facts were discovered painstakingly by various researchers, and no one has found a general rule governing subsumption relations among regular polytopes. The reasons for some of their numeric incidence relations are far from obvious. [[W:Pieter Hendrik Schoute|Schoute]] was the first to see that the 120-point (600-cell) is a compound of 5 24-point (24-cells) ''10 different ways'', and after he saw it a hundred years lapsed until Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler &amp; Claiborne proved his result, and showed why.{{Sfn|Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler &amp; Claiborne|2020|loc=''The geometry of H4 polytopes''}}

So much for the compounds of 16-cells. The 120-cell is also the convex hull of the compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells. That stellated compound (without its convex hull of 120-cell edges) is the [[w:Great_grand_stellated_120-cell|great grand stellated 120-cell]] illustrated above, the final regular [[W:Stellation|stellation]] of the 120-cell, and the only [[W:Schläfli-Hess polychoron|regular star 4-polytope]] to have the 120-cell for its convex hull. The edges of the great grand stellated 120-cell are &lt;math&gt;\phi^6&lt;/math&gt; as long as those of its 120-cell [[W:List of polyhedral stellations#Stellation process|stellation core]] deep inside.

The compound of 120 disjoint 5-point (5-cells) can be seen to be equivalent to the compound of 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), as follows. Beginning with a single 120-point (600-cell), expand each vertex into a regular 5-cell, by adding 4 new equidistant vertices, such that the 5 vertices form a regular 5-cell inscribed in the 3-sphere. The 120 5-cells are disjoint, and the 600 vertices form 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells): a 120-cell.

== Thirty distinguished distances ==
The 30 numbers listed in the table are all-important in Euclidean geometry. A case can be made on symmetry grounds that their squares are the 30 most important numbers between 0 and 4. The 30 rows of the table are the 30 distinct [[120-cell#Geodesic rectangles|chord lengths of the unit-radius 120-cell]], the largest regular convex 4-polytope. Since the 120-cell subsumes all smaller regular polytopes, its 30 chords are the complete chord set of all the regular polytopes that can be constructed in the first four dimensions of Euclidean space, except for regular polygons of more than 15 sides.

== The 16-cell 4-orthoplex ==
In 2-space we have the regular 8-point octagon, in 3-space the regular 8-point cube, and in 4-space the regular 8-point [[16-cell]].

A planar octagon with rigid edges of unit length has chords of length:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=1,r_2=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.848,r_3=\sqrt{2}+1 \approx 2.414,r_4=\sqrt{4 + \sqrt{8}} \approx 2.613&lt;/math&gt;

The chord ratio &lt;math&gt;r_3=\sqrt{2}+1&lt;/math&gt; is a geometrical proportion, the [[W:Silver ratio|silver ratio]]. Fontaine and Hurley's procedure for obtaining the reciprocal of a chord tells us that:

:&lt;math&gt;r_3-r_1-r_1=1/r_3 \approx 0.414&lt;/math&gt;

Note that &lt;math&gt;r_3-2=1/r_3=\sqrt{2}-1&lt;/math&gt;. Their procedure rotates counterclockwise over three &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords of an {8/3} octagram. Over the first &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chord the displacement is &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}+r_1&lt;/math&gt;. Over the second &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chord it moves in the opposite direction a distance of &lt;math&gt;-r_1&lt;/math&gt; . Over the third &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chord it also moves a distance of &lt;math&gt;-r_1&lt;/math&gt;.

If we embed the planar octagon in 3-space, we can make it skew, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from three others instead of two others, at the vertices of a unit-edge cube with chords of length:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=1, r_2=\sqrt{2}, r_3=\sqrt{3}, r_4=\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;

If we embed this cube in 4-space, we can skew it some more, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from six others instead of three others, at the vertices of a unit-edge 4-polytope with chords of length:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=1,r_2=1,r_3=1,r_4=\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;

All of its chords except its long diameters are the same unit length as its edge. In fact they are its 24 edges, and it is a 16-cell of radius &lt;math&gt;1/\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;.

[[File:octagon16cell.png|thumb|Orthogonal projection of a regular 16-cell to the [[16-cell#Projections|B&lt;sub&gt;4&lt;/sub&gt; Coxeter plane]]. Only its edges are shown; its long diameter chords are not drawn. All 24 edges are the same length and none lie parallel to the projection plane. The octagon circumference is a Petrie polygon. The two disjoint squares lie in completely orthogonal central planes. The blue octagram is a Clifford polygon. ]]

The [[16-cell]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{3,3,4\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;. It has 8 vertices, 24 edges, 32 equilateral triangle faces, and 16 regular tetrahedron cells. It is the [[16-cell#Octahedral dipyramid|four-dimensional analogue of the octahedron]], and each of its four orthogonal central hyperplanes is an octahedron.

The only planar regular polygons found in the 16-cell are face triangles and central plane squares, but the 16-cell also contains a skew regular octagon, its [[W:Petrie polygon|Petrie polygon]].{{Efn|name=Petrie polygon of a honeycomb}} The chords of this regular octagon, which lies skew in 4-space, are those given above for the 16-cell, as opposed to those for the cube or the regular octagon in the plane. The 16-cell is a construct of 3 Petrie octagons which share the same 8 vertices but have disjoint sets of 8 edges each.

The regular octad has higher symmetry in 4-space than it does in 2-space. The 16-cell is the 4-[[w:Cross-polytope|orthoplex]], the simplest regular 4-polytope after the [[5-cell|4-simplex]]. All the larger regular convex 4-polytopes are compounds of the 16-cell. The regular octagon exhibits this high symmetry only when embedded in 4-space at the vertices of the 16-cell.

The 16-cell constitutes an [[W:Orthonormal basis|orthonormal basis]] for the choice of a 4-dimensional Cartesian reference frame, because its vertices define four orthogonal axes. The eight vertices of a unit-radius 16-cell are (±1, 0, 0, 0), (0, ±1, 0, 0), (0, 0, ±1, 0), (0, 0, 0, ±1). All vertices are connected by &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; edges except opposite pairs. 

The vertex coordinates of the 16-cell form 6 central squares lying in 6 pairwise [[W:Orthogonal|orthogonal]] coordinate planes. Great squares in opposite planes that do not share an axis (e.g. in the ''xy'' and ''wz'' planes) are completely disjoint (they do not intersect at any vertices). These planes are [[W:Completely orthogonal|completely orthogonal]].{{Efn|name=Six orthogonal planes of the Cartesian basis}}

Since the unit-radius coordinate system is convenient, let us derive the unit-radius 16-cell by skewing a unit-radius planar octagon, which has chords of length:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.765,r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.848,r_4=2&lt;/math&gt;

We will need a planar octagon with rigid &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chords, rather than one with rigid &lt;math&gt;r_1&lt;/math&gt; edges. The octagon's &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chords form two disjoint great squares, visible in the orthogonal projection, which we can reposition in 3-space to form a cube by making them parallel, and in 4-space to form a 16-cell by making them completely orthogonal.

Each chord is a distinct 4-vector with a length and a direction. Since the edges of the 16-cell are all the same length &lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{2},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;, those chords are distinct only in the context of a rotation, where vertices circle over the chords of an &lt;math&gt;r_i&lt;/math&gt; polygon. The rotational curve over each &lt;math&gt;r_i&lt;/math&gt; chord makes &lt;math&gt;i&lt;/math&gt; 45° turns. The angle between two &lt;math&gt;r_i&lt;/math&gt; chords is &lt;math&gt;i \times 45^\circ&lt;/math&gt;.

[[File:16-cell-orig.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 8-point 16-cell &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{3,3,4\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; performing a double rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}}]]
[[W:Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space|Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space]] can be seen as the composition of two 2-dimensional rotations in completely orthogonal planes. The general rotation in 4-space is a [[W:SO(4)#Double rotations|double rotation]] in pairs of completely orthogonal planes. Two completely orthogonal planes are called invariant planes of the rotation when all points in the plane rotate on circles that remain in the plane, even as the whole plane tilts sideways (like a coin flipping) into another plane. The two completely orthogonal rotations of each plane (like a wheel, and like a coin flipping) are simultaneous but independent, in that they are not geometrically constrained to turn at the same rate. However, the most circular kind of rotation (as opposed to an elliptical double rotation of a rigid spherical object) occurs when the completely orthogonal planes do rotate through the same angle in the same time interval. Such equi-angled double rotations are called [[w:SO(4)#Isoclinic_rotations|isoclinic]], also [[w:William_Kingdon_Clifford|Clifford]] displacements.

The &lt;math&gt;r_1&lt;/math&gt; chords of the 16-cell form a Petrie polygon {8/1} which zig-zags back and forth, in the left and right rotational directions, between two completely orthogonal great squares formed by &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chords.

The &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chords  form the ''edge polygon'' of the 16-cell {8/2}=2{4}. The two completely orthogonal great squares lie parallel and perpendicular to each other. A ''simple'' rotation of the 16-cell in ''one'' of those two square central planes rotates that square like a wheel, while the other square does not move.{{Efn|name=simple rotations}} The four vertices of the rotating square orbit on a great circle in the plane.

The &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords of the 16-cell form a circular helix, visible as a blue {8/3} octagram in the orthogonal projection. A ''double'' rotation of the 16-cell, in both of two completely orthogonal invariant &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; square planes at once by equal angles, moves the eight vertices along the circular helix over &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords. The vertex motion is a [[w:Geodesic|geodesic]] circle orbit on the 3-sphere of a special kind: it does not lie in a central plane, its [[w:Winding_number|winding number]] is not 1 (it is 3 in this case), its circumference is not &lt;math&gt;2\pi&lt;/math&gt; (it is &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; in this case), and it moves in either a left or right handed circular spiral. We shall refer to such a chiral circle orbit as an ''isocline'', and to the skew polygram of its rotational chords as a ''Clifford polygon''.

The 16-cell is the simplest possible frame in which to [[16-cell#Rotations|observe 4-dimensional rotations]] because its characteristic rotations feature a single pair of invariant rotation planes. In the 16-cell an isoclinic rotation by 90° in any pair of invariant completely orthogonal square central planes takes every great square to its completely orthogonal great square in a twisting displacement, as the invariant planes tilt sideways 90° into each other's plane while rotating 90° internally. All the vertices move at once along the same circular helix geodesic isocline of &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords, displaced 90° in 8 orthogonal directions, and the rigid 16-cell assumes a new orientation in 4-space. When the 90° isoclinic rotation is continued in the same rotational direction through an additional 90°, each vertex is again displaced 90°, but from the new orientation in a direction orthogonal to its first 90° displacement. The rotational curve over each 90° &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chord makes three 45° turns. In 360° of isoclinic rotation over four &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords, each vertex makes six 90° turns and reaches its antipodal position.

The trajectory of each vertex over each 90° isoclinic rotational displacement is a one-eighth segment of its geodesic orbit. Its entire orbit traces an isocline circle in 4-space of circumference &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; over eight &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane twice, over the four &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; edges of a great square in one of the two moving invariant rotation planes. In the course of a 720° isoclinic revolution each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 16-cell returns to its original orientation.

We shall refer to this isoclinic rotation as the ''characteristic rotation of the 16-cell'', and note once again that it is Fontaine and Hurley's counterclockwise rotation over the &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; {8/3} star polygon, which constructs &lt;math&gt;1/r_3&lt;/math&gt;.

== The 8-cell tesseract ==
The long diameter of the unit-edge [[W:Hypercube|hypercube]] of dimension &lt;math&gt;n&lt;/math&gt; is &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{n}&lt;/math&gt;, so the unit-edge [[w:Tesseract|4-hypercube, the 16-point (8-cell) tesseract,]] has chords:
:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;
Uniquely in its 4-dimensional case, the hypercube's edge length equals its radius, like the hexagon. We call such polytopes ''radially equilateral'', because they can be constructed from equilateral triangles which meet at their center, each contributing two radii and an edge. The [[w:Cuboctahedron|cuboctahedron]] and the 24-cell are also radially equilateral.

[[File:8-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 16-point (8-cell) tesseract &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{4,3,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; performing a simple rotation about a plane in 4-space.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}} The stationary plane bisects the figure from front-left to back-right and top to bottom.]]
The [[W:Tesseract|tesseract]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{4,3,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;. It has 16 vertices, 32 edges, 24 square faces, and 8 cube cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the cube.

The 16-point tesseract is the convex hull of a compound of two 8-point 16-cells, in exact dimensional analogy to the way the 8-point cube is the convex hull of a [[W:Stellated octahedron|compound of two 4-point regular tetrahedra]]. The [[W:Demihypercube|demihypercubes]] occupy alternate vertices of the hypercubes. The diagonals of the square faces of the unit-edge, unit-radius tesseract are the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; edges of two unit-radius 16-cells, also the edges of the square central planes.

We can rotate the tesseract isoclinically the way we rotated the 16-cell, by 90° in the characteristic rotation of the 16-cell, with the same effect on both alternate-position 16-cells. In the course of a 720° revolution each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, but it does not visit the vertex positions of the other 16-cell. The two skew {8/3} octagram Clifford polygons lie on two disjoint parallel isoclines of the same chirality, of circumference &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; chords. They form a circular double helix which intersects each vertex of the tesseract once. The helix is an 8-rung ladder twisted 3 times, bent into a circle in the fourth dimension. Each rung is a tesseract edge.

The tesseract is the [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]] of the 16-cell. They have the same Petrie polygon, the regular skew octagon, but the tesseract is a construct of 4 Petrie octagons with disjoint sets of 8 tesseract edges each. We can construct the tesseract by skewing two planar octagons. Because the tesseract is radially equilateral (unlike the 16-cell), we use two octagons of unit-edge length to build the unit-radius tesseract. To start we embed the planar octagons in 4-space at the same point and make them completely orthogonal. Then we skew each planar octagon into a cube, so we have a compound of two completely orthogonal cubes, provided we skewed them both in the same direction. The 16 vertices will be the vertices of a tesseract with half its 32 edges missing.

Because the tesseract contains two 16-cells in alternate positions it has two sets of 6 orthogonal square central planes. Two angles are required to specify the relationship between two planes in 4-space. Pairs of square central planes within each 16-cell are 90° apart in one angle, and either 0° or 90° apart in the other angle. They are 90° apart in both angles if and only if they are completely orthogonal planes, 90° apart by isoclinic rotation, with no vertices in common. Otherwise they are 0° apart in one of the angles, 90° apart by simple rotation, and they intersect in one axis and lie in a common 3-dimensional hyperplane.{{Efn|A double rotation in which one of the two angles of rotation is 0°, so that one of the completely orthogonal invariant planes does not rotate, is called a simple rotation. Ordinary rotations observed in a 3-dimensional space are simple rotations.|name=simple rotations}}

A pair of square central planes from alternate-position 16-cells are 60° apart by isoclinic rotation, with their corresponding vertices 120° apart. The planes are not orthogonal or parallel, so they intersect in a line somewhere, but they have no vertices in common, they have no 3-dimensional hyperplane in common, and they cannot reach each other by simple rotation. Such pairs of objects are called [[W:Clifford parallel|Clifford parallel]] because all their corresponding pairs of vertices are the same distance apart, although they are not parallel in the usual sense, because they have a common center. Not only the alternate-position 16-cells' corresponding square central planes, but also the 16-cells themselves, are Clifford parallel objects. More generally, multiple disjoint instances of a 4-polytope which compound to make a larger 4-polytope are Clifford parallel objects.

== The 24-cell ==
[[File:24-cell vertex geometry.png|thumb|Planar geometry of the radially equilateral 24-cell, showing its 3 great circle polygons and its 4 chord lengths.]]
In 2-space we have the radially equilateral 6-point hexagon. In 3-space we have the radially equilateral 12-point cuboctahedron, with 4 hexagonal central planes. In 4-space we have the radially equilateral 24-point 24-cell, with 12 cuboctahedron central hyperplanes and 16 hexagonal central planes.

The [[24-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{3,4,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;. It has 24 vertices, 96 edges, 96 equilateral triangle faces, and 24 octahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the cuboctahedron.

The 24-cell has the same chord set as the 4-hypercube tesseract:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;

[[Image:24-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 24-point 24-cell &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{3,4,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; performing a simple rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}} The 3-dimensional surface made of 24 octahedra is visible.]]
The 24-cell is [[W:Dual polytope|self-dual]], like the regular polygons and regular simplexes. It is the maximal regular construct of triangles and squares (with no pentagons). It is the convex hull of a compound of three disjoint 8-point 16-cells, rotated 60° isoclinically with respect to each other. Each of the three pairs of 16-cells is a tesseract. Each 24-cell edge is also a tesseract edge. The corresponding vertices of two 16-cells or two tesseracts are 120° apart by a &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chord. Each tesseract has 8 cube cells, and each cube has four &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; long diameters. The &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chords joining the corresponding vertices of two tesseracts belong to the third tesseract as cell long diameters.

The 24-cell's Petrie polygon is the regular dodecagon {12}, which has chords:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\tfrac{\sqrt{3}-1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.518,r_2=\sqrt{1},r_3=\sqrt{2},r_4=\sqrt{3},r_5=\tfrac{\sqrt{3}+1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.932,r_6=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;

Fontaine and Hurley's procedure for obtaining the reciprocal of a chord tells us that: 

:&lt;math&gt;r_5-r_3+r_1+r_1-r_3=1/r_5&lt;/math&gt;

when &lt;math&gt;r_1=1&lt;/math&gt;. The procedure rotates counterclockwise over five &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; chords of a {12/5} dodecagram. In the system of unit-radius coordinates &lt;math&gt;r_1=1/r_5&lt;/math&gt;.

The &lt;math&gt;r_1&lt;/math&gt; and &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; chords of the planar dodecagon do not occur in the 24-cell, which is a construct of eight skew dodecagons with disjoint sets of twelve &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt; edges each. In the skew dodecagons the chord lengths are:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{1},r_3=\sqrt{2},r_4=\sqrt{3},r_5=\sqrt{3},r_6=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;

Where chords are the same length, they are distinct only in the context of a rotation.

In a unit-radius 24-cell, all black lines are 24-cell edges of unit length, also tesseract edges. The two disjoint hexagons lie in Clifford parallel central planes. Blue chords are &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; 16-cell edges, also isocline chords in square rotations.

[[File:Regular_star_figure_3(8,3).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/9}=3{8/3} &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;]]
We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in Clifford parallel invariant planes containing 16-cell edges, for example in the characteristic rotation of the 16-cell, with the same effect on all three 16-cells. In 720° each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, but it does not visit the vertex positions of the other 16-cells. The rotational curve over each 90° &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; chord makes three 45° turns. Three Clifford parallel {8/3} octagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; chords form a circular triple helix {24/9}=3{8/3} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once.

We can also rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in Clifford parallel invariant planes containing 24-cell edges. A complete 24-cell great circle edge plane revolution requires 720° like a complete 16-cell great circle edge plane revolution, but it is completed in 12 isoclinic displacements of 60° each rather than 8 isoclinic displacements of 90° each.  An isoclinic rotation by 60° in any invariant central plane containing a 24-cell edge takes every great hexagon to a Clifford parallel great hexagon in a twisting displacement, as all the central planes tilt sideways 60° while rotating 60° internally. It also takes every great square to a Clifford parallel great square. All 24 vertices move at once on Clifford parallel geodesic isoclines, displaced 120° in different directions. The trajectory of each vertex over each 60° rotational displacement is a one-twelfth segment of its geodesic orbit, and its entire orbit traces an isocline circle in 4-space over &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chords. There are two distinct ways we can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in invariant planes containing 24-cell edges, called the ''characteristic left rotation'' and the ''characteristic right rotation'', respectively.

[[File:Regular star figure 2(12,5).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/10}=2{12/5} shows 2 dodecagram isoclines of &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; chords in the 24-cell]]
We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in 12 Clifford parallel invariant planes containing two &lt;math&gt;r_{1}&lt;/math&gt; edges each, over &lt;math&gt;r_{5}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. This is the ''characteristic left rotation of the 24-cell'', also Fontaine and Hurley's counterclockwise rotation over the &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; 2{12/5} star polygon which constructs &lt;math&gt;1/r_5&lt;/math&gt;. The rotational curve over each 120° &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; chord makes five 30° turns. Two Clifford parallel {12/5} dodecagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;10\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular double helix {24/10}=2{12/5} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once. The orbit of each vertex traces an isocline circle in 4-space over 12 &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane 5 times in a moving invariant rotation plane. In the course of a 720° revolution each vertex departs from 12 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 24-cell returns to its original orientation.

We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in 4 Clifford parallel invariant great hexagon planes containing six &lt;math&gt;r_{2}&lt;/math&gt; edges each, over &lt;math&gt;r_{4}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. This is the ''characteristic right rotation of the 24-cell'', also Fontaine and Hurley's counterclockwise rotation over the &lt;math&gt;r_4&lt;/math&gt; 8{3} star polygon which constructs &lt;math&gt;1/r_4&lt;/math&gt;. The rotational curve over each 120° &lt;math&gt;r_4&lt;/math&gt; chord makes four 30° turns.  Eight Clifford parallel triangle geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;2\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;r_4&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular fibration of 8 twisted parallel strands {24/8}=8{3} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once. In three successive 60° isoclinic displacements each vertex circles a triangle and returns to its original position, but the 24-cell returns to its original orientation only after each vertex has completed circuits of the four distinct triangles which intersect at the vertex. The isocline curves over a self-intersecting dodecagram of 12 &lt;math&gt;r_4&lt;/math&gt; chords.

By examining the chords &lt;math&gt;r_i&lt;/math&gt; of the 24-cell's Petrie {12}-gon we found three distinct isoclinic rotations. If we examine the chords &lt;math&gt;t_i&lt;/math&gt; of the 24-cell's {24}-gon we find these and also three other distinct isoclinic rotations.  

Each row of the table is a distinct isoclinic rotation of the 24-cell characterized by a pair of chords that sum to 180°. The edge chords form the rotation's edge {24}-gon, and lie in invariant planes of the rotation. The isocline chords form the rotation's Clifford {24}-gon and lie in the invariant planes completely orthogonal to the edge planes. The rotational angle between successive edge chords and the rotational angle between successive isocline chords also sum to 180°.  

We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in Clifford parallel invariant planes containing 16-cell edges in 6 Clifford parallel invariant great square planes containing four &lt;math&gt;t_{6}&lt;/math&gt; edges each, over &lt;math&gt;t_{6}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. The &lt;math&gt;t_6&lt;/math&gt; chord is the 16-cell-&lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chord. The edge polygon and the Clifford polygon are both {24/6}=6{4}. This is the ''characteristic right rotation of the 24-cell''.  

The rotational curve over each 90° &lt;math&gt;t_6&lt;/math&gt; chord makes six 15° turns.  Six Clifford parallel skew triangle geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;2\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;t_6&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular fibration of six twisted parallel strands that intersects each 24-cell vertex once. &lt;s&gt;In every 360° of isoclinic rotation each vertex circles a skew great square and returns to its original position, but the 24-cell returns to its original orientation only after each vertex has completed circuits of the three distinct skew squares which intersect at the vertex and the three distinct skew squares which intersect at its antipodal vertex. The isocline curves over a self-intersecting {24}-gon of &lt;math&gt;t_6&lt;/math&gt; chords.&lt;/s&gt;

Invisible in this rendering are 25 inscribed instances of the 24-cell (above), which occur in the 600-cell as interior boundary envelopes.]]
The [[600-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{3,3,5\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;. It has 120 vertices, 720 edges, 1200 equilateral triangle faces, and 600 tetrahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the icosahedron.

The 600-cell rounds out the 24-cell by adding 96 more vertices (four more disjoint 24-cells) between the 24-cell's existing 24 vertices, in effect adding twenty-four more distinct 24-cells inscribed in the 600-cell. The new surface thus formed is a honeycomb of smaller, more numerous cells: tetrahedra of edge length &lt;math&gt;\phi^{-1} \approx 0.618&lt;/math&gt; instead of octahedra of edge length &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt;. It encloses the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt; edges of the 24-cells, which become invisible interior chords in the 600-cell, like the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; and &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chords.

Since the tetrahedra are made of shorter triangle edges than the octahedra (by a factor of &lt;math&gt;\phi^{-1}&lt;/math&gt;, the inverse golden ratio), the 600-cell is not radially equilateral like the 24-cell and the tesseract. Like them it is radially triangular in a special way, but one in which [[w:Golden_triangle_(mathematics)|golden triangles]] rather than equilateral triangles meet at the center.

In 2-space we have the ''radially golden'' [[W:Decagon#The golden ratio in decagon|regular decagon]]. In 3-space we have the radially golden 30-point [[W:icosidodecahedron|icosidodecahedron]], with 6 decagon central planes. In 4-space we have the radially golden 120-point 600-cell, with 60 icosidodecahedron central hyperplanes and 72 decagon central planes.

The 600-cell's Petrie polygon is the regular [[w:Triacontagon|triacontagon {30}]]. The unit-radius planar {30}-gon has these distinct chords:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=2 \sin (\tfrac{\pi}{15}/2) \approx 0.209&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_2=2 \sin (\tfrac{2\pi}{15}/2) \approx 0.416&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_3=2 \sin (\tfrac{\pi}{5}/2)=\phi^{-1} \approx 0.618&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_4=2 \sin (\tfrac{4\pi}{15}/2) \approx 0.813&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_5=2 \sin (\tfrac{\pi}{3}/2)=\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_6=2 \sin (\tfrac{2\pi}{5}/2)=\sqrt{3-\phi} \approx 1.176&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_7=2 \sin (\tfrac{7\pi}{15}/2) \approx 1.338&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_8=2 \cos (\tfrac{7\pi}{15}/2) \approx 1.486&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_9=2 \sin (\tfrac{3\pi}{5}/2)=\phi \approx 1.618&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{10}=2 \sin (\tfrac{2\pi}{3}/2)=\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{11}=2 \cos (\tfrac{4\pi}{15}/2) \approx 1.827&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{12}=2 \sin (\tfrac{4\pi}{5}/2)=\sqrt{2+\phi} \approx 1.902&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{13}=2 \cos (\tfrac{2\pi}{15}/2) \approx 1.956&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{14}=2 \cos (\tfrac{\pi}{15}/2) \approx 1.989&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{15}=2 \sin (\pi/2)=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;

Only the chord lengths &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_6&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_9&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_{10}&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_{12}&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_{15}&lt;/math&gt; occur in the 600-cell, which is a construct of 24 Petrie {30}-gons of edge length &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt;, six of which intersect in each icosahedral vertex figure. In the skew {30}-gons the chord lengths are:

Where chords are the same length, they are distinct only in the context of a rotation.

The list of 600-cell chords &lt;math&gt;r_{i}&lt;/math&gt; can be rearranged into a table of 8 rows and 2 columns with a pair of 180° complements in each row. The short chord and long chord each have their characteristic {30/n}-gon. Each row identifies a discrete isoclinic rotation of the 600-cell in invariant central planes containing the edges of the short chord {30}-gon, over the isocline chords of the long chord {30}-gon, the rotation's Clifford polygon.

Each distinct pair of complementary chord lengths is identified with a distinct [[w:600-cell#Polyhedral sections|polyhedral section of the 600-cell]] beginning with a vertex. In spherical [[w:3-sphere|3-dimensional space &lt;math&gt;\mathbb{S}^3&lt;/math&gt;]], every vertex is the center of a set of 7 concentric polyhedra of increasing radii that nest like [[w:Matryoshka_doll|Russian dolls.]] The smallest polyhedral section at radial distance &lt;math&gt;\phi^{-1}&lt;/math&gt; is a icosahedron vertex figure, and the largest section at radial distance &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; is an [[W:Icosidodecahedron|icosidodecahedron]] central section bisecting the 600-cell. Because  [[w:3-sphere|&lt;math&gt;\mathbb{S}^3&lt;/math&gt;]] is spherical, at radial distances greater than &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; the successive complement-radius polyhedra decrease in size, to the antipodal icosahedron vertex figure at distance &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2+\phi}&lt;/math&gt;. In Euclidean 4-dimensional space &lt;math&gt;\mathbb{R}^4&lt;/math&gt;, every vertex is the apex of 7 [[w:Hyperpyramid|polyhedral pyramids]], where the pyramid's lateral edge length is the radial distance and its base polyhedron is the section. Each section lies parallel to a congruent complement-radius section (or coincident with it, in the case of the central section).

[[File:Regular_star_figure_3(8,3).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/9}=3{8/3} &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;]]
We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in the great square rotation characteristic of the 16-cell,  with the same effect on 15 disjoint 16-cells. Each 90° displacement takes 15 pairs of completely orthogonal invariant great square planes to each other. In the course of a 720° revolution each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, without visiting other vertex positions. The rotational curve over each 90° chord makes three 45° turns. Fifteen Clifford parallel {8/3} octagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular fibration of 15 twisted parallel strands 5{24/9}=15{8/3} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.

The 600-cell has another distinct isoclinic rotation in invariant great square planes, which has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. This [''great square left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell]'' takes place over &lt;math&gt;r_7&lt;/math&gt; edge chords and &lt;math&gt;r_8&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. The {30/7} edge polygon is a skew helix of circumference &lt;math&gt;14\pi&lt;/math&gt; with each &lt;math&gt;r_7&lt;/math&gt; edge belonging to a distinct great square. The four {30/7} polygrams contribute one edge each to 30 great squares. Each 90° displacement takes every 16-cell to another 16-cell. The vertices of the invariant great squares each make seven orbits on a great circle within the moving invariant plane in the course of one complete revolution. The rotational curve over each 90° {30/7} edge makes seven 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/7} geodesics of circumference &lt;math&gt;16\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. The {30/8}=2{15/4} Clifford polygon is a compound of two skew {15/4} pentadecagrams of circumference &lt;math&gt;16\pi&lt;/math&gt; with each &lt;math&gt;r_8&lt;/math&gt; isocline chord belonging to a distinct 16-cell. The four {30/8} polygrams contribute one edge each to 30 great squares. The rotational curve over each 90° {30/8} isocline chord makes eight 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/8} geodesics of circumference &lt;math&gt;16\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.

[[File:Regular star figure 2(12,5).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/10}=2{12/5} &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; ]]
We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in the great hexagon rotation characteristic of the 24-cell, over &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt; edge chords and &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords, with the same effect on 5 disjoint 24-cells. In the course of a 720° revolution each vertex departs from 12 vertex positions of its 24-cell just once and returns to its original position, without visiting other vertex positions. Ten Clifford parallel {12/5} dodecagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;10\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular fibration of ten twisted parallel strands 5{24/10}=10{12/5} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. 

The 600-cell has another distinct isoclinic rotation in invariant great hexagon planes, over &lt;math&gt;r_{4}=\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt; edge chords and &lt;math&gt;r_{11}=\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords This [''invariant great hexagon left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell]'' has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. Its {30/11} Clifford polygon is a skew helix where each &lt;math&gt;r_{11}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chord is the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; diagonal of a great hexagon of a distinct 24-cell. The vertices of the invariant great hexagons of this rotation each make eleven orbits on a great circle within the moving invariant plane in the course of one complete revolution. The rotational curve over each 120° &lt;math&gt;r_{11}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chord makes eleven 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/11} geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;22\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;r_{11}&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. 

We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in 12 Clifford parallel invariant decagon central planes containing its 36° &lt;math&gt;r_{3}&lt;/math&gt; edges, over 144° &lt;math&gt;r_{12}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. This ''invariant great decagon rotation characteristic of the 600-cell'' has period 5 and takes disjoint 24-cells to each other. The rotational curve over each &lt;math&gt;r_{12}&lt;/math&gt; chord of its {5/2} Clifford polygon makes twelve 12° turns. 24 Clifford parallel {5/2} pentagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;4\pi&lt;/math&gt; over five &lt;math&gt;r_{12}&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular fibration of 24 twisted parallel strands 4{30/12}=24{5/2} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. 

The rotation of the 600-cell by 36° in any invariant decagon central plane takes every great decagon to a Clifford parallel great decagon in a twisting displacement, as all the central planes tilt sideways 36° while rotating 36° internally. It also takes every great hexagon to a Clifford parallel great hexagon, and every great square to a Clifford parallel great square. The 24-cells revolve within the 600-cell, as the 16-cells revolve within the 24-cells. All 120 vertices move at once on four Clifford parallel geodesic isoclines, displaced 144° in different directions.

The 600-cell has another distinct isoclinic rotation in invariant great decagon planes containing its 36° &lt;math&gt;r_{2}&lt;/math&gt; edges, over 144° &lt;math&gt;r_{13}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. This [''great decagon left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell]'' has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. The rotational curve over each 144° &lt;math&gt;r_{13}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chord makes thirteen 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/13} geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;26\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.

The [[User:Dc.samizdat/Golden chords of the 120-cell#Thirty distinguished distances|list of thirty 120-cell chords]] &lt;math&gt;c_{t}&lt;/math&gt; can be rearranged into a table of 16 rows and 2 columns with a pair of 180° complements in each row. This table first appears in [[w:Regular_Polytopes_(book)|''Regular Polytopes'']] (1947),{{Sfn|Coxeter|1973|loc=Table V(v): Simplified sections of {5,3,3} beginning with a vertex|pp=300-301}} where Coxeter identified each row with a distinct [[w:120-cell#Concentric_hulls|polyhedral section of the 120-cell]] beginning with a vertex. In spherical [[w:3-sphere|3-dimensional space &lt;math&gt;\mathbb{S}^3&lt;/math&gt;]], every vertex is the center of a set of 29 concentric polyhedra of increasing radii that nest like [[w:Matryoshka_doll|Russian dolls.]] The smallest polyhedral section at radial distance &lt;math&gt;c_1&lt;/math&gt; is a tetrahedron vertex figure, and the largest section at radial distance &lt;math&gt;c_{15}&lt;/math&gt; is a central section bisecting the 120-cell. Because  [[w:3-sphere|&lt;math&gt;\mathbb{S}^3&lt;/math&gt;]] is spherical, at radial distances greater than &lt;math&gt;c_{15}&lt;/math&gt; the successive complement-radius polyhedra decrease in size, to the antipodal tetrahedron vertex figure at distance &lt;math&gt;c_{29}&lt;/math&gt;. In Euclidean 4-dimensional space &lt;math&gt;\mathbb{R}^4&lt;/math&gt;, every vertex is the apex of 29 [[w:Hyperpyramid|polyhedral pyramids]], where the pyramid's lateral edge length is the radial distance and its base polyhedron is the section. Each section lies parallel to a congruent complement-radius section (or coincident with it, in the case of the central section). Each section also lies completely orthogonal to a congruent section. 

Only 8 of the 30 chords in the table occur in the 600-cell and the planar {30)-gon. The 120-cell's additional chords arise originally from the regular 5-cell, in its interaction with the other regular 4-polytopes that compound to make the 120-cell. Since all those polytopes except the 5-cell occur in the 600-cell, and the 600-cell and the 120-cell have the same symmetry group, the 5-cell's symmetry group is what's new in the 120-cell.

== Finally the 120-cell ==
The [[120-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{5,3,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;. It has 600 vertices, 1200 edges, 720 pentagon faces, and 120 dodecahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the dodecahedron.

The 120-cell is the [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]] of the 600-cell. They have the same Petrie polygon, the regular skew triacontagon {30}, but the 120-cell is a construct of 40 Petrie {30}-gons of edge length &lt;math&gt;c_1&lt;/math&gt;, two of which intersect in each tetrahedral vertex figure.

== Conclusions ==

Fontaine and Hurley's discovery is more than a geometric formula for the reciprocal of a regular ''n''-polygon diagonal. It also yields the discrete sequence of isocline chords of the characteristic isoclinic rotation of a ''d''-dimensional polytope in its invariant edge planes. The characteristic rotational chord sequence of the ''d''-polytope can be represented geometrically in two dimensions on a distinct star polygon, but it lies on a geodesic circle through ''d''-dimensional space. Fontaine and Hurley discovered the geodesic topology of polytopes generally. Their procedure will reveal the geodesics of arbitrary non-uniform polytopes, since it can be applied to a polytope of any dimensionality and irregularity, by first fitting the polytope to the smallest regular polygon whose chords include its chords. [If what is meant by this is its Petrie polygon, it is not quite necessary or possible with respect to the planar polygon chords, e.g. the planar Petrie polygon of the 600-cell does not contain the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; chord. But perhaps it would work if the fit is to the smallest regular skew polygon in the ''d''-space.]

The discovery of a chordal construction for discrete isoclinic rotations generally closes the circuit on Kappraff and Adamson's discovery of a rotational connection between dynamical systems, Steinbach's golden fields, and Coxeter's Euclidean geometry of ''n'' dimensions. Application of the Fontaine and Hurley procedure in the 120-cell demonstrates why the connection exists: because polytope sequences generally, from Steinbach's golden chord sequences in polygons, to sequences of star polygons in isoclinic rotations, to subsumption relations in the sequence of regular 4-polytopes, arise as expressions of the reflections and rotations of distinct Coxeter symmetry groups, when those various groups interact.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Steinbach discovered the formula for the ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. Fontaine and Hurley extended this result, discovering a formula for the reciprocal of a regular polygon chord derived geometrically from the chord's star polygon. We observe that these findings in plane geometry apply more generally, to polytopes of any dimensionality. Fontaine and Hurley's geometric procedure for finding the reciprocals of the chords of a regular polygon from their star polygons also finds the rotational geodesics of any polytope of any dimensionality.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
== Introduction ==
Steinbach discovered the Diagonal Product Formula and the Golden Fields family of ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. He showed how this family extends beyond the pentagon {5} with its well-known golden bisection proportional to 𝜙, finding that the heptagon {7} has an analogous trisection, the nonagon {9} has an analogous quadrasection, and the hendecagon {11} has an analogous pentasection, an extended family of golden proportions with quasiperiodic properties. 

Kappraff and Adamson extended these findings in plane geometry to a theory of Generalized Fibonacci Sequences, showing that the Golden Fields not only do not end with the hendecagon, they form an infinite number of periodic trajectories when operated on by the Mandelbrot operator. They found a relation between the edges of star polygons and dynamical systems in the state of chaos, revealing a connection between chaos theory, number, and rotations in Coxeter Euclidean geometry. 

Fontaine and Hurley examined Steinbach's finding that the length of each chord of a regular polygon is both the product of two chords and the sum of a set of smaller chords, so that in rotations to add is to multiply. They illustrated Steinbach's sets of additive chords lying parallel to each other in the plane (pointing in the same direction), and by applying Steinbach's formula more generally they found another summation relation of signed parallel chords (pointing in opposite directions) which relates each chord length to its reciprocal, and relates the summation to a distinct star polygon rotation. 

We examine these remarkable findings (which stem from study of the chords of humble regular polygons) in higher-dimensional spaces, specifically in the chords, polygons and rotations of the [[120-cell]], the largest four-dimensional regular convex polytope.

[[120-cell#Geometry|The 120-cell is the maximally complex regular 4-polytope]], containing inscribed instances of every regular 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-polytope, except the regular polygons of more than {15} sides. 

The 120-cell is the convex hull of a regular [[120-cell#Relationships among interior polytopes|compound of each of the 6 regular convex 4-polytopes]]. They are the [[5-cell|5-point (5-cell) 4-simplex]], the [[16-cell|8-point (16-cell) 4-orthoplex]], the [[W:Tesseract|16-point (8-cell) tesseract]], the [[24-cell|24-point (24-cell)]], the [[600-cell|120-point (600-cell)]], and the [[120-cell|600-point (120-cell)]]. The 120-cell is the convex hull of a compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells, of 75 disjoint 16-cells, of 25 disjoint 24-cells, and of 5 disjoint 600-cells.

The 120-cell contains an even larger inventory of irregular polytopes, created by the intersection of multiple instances of these component regular 4-polytopes. Many are quite unexpected, because they do not occur as components of any regular polytope smaller than the 120-cell. As just one example among the [[120-cell#Concentric hulls|sections of the 120-cell]], there is an irregular 24-point polyhedron with 16 triangle faces and 4 nonagon {9} faces.{{Sfn|Moxness|}}

Most renderings of the 120-cell, like the rotating projection here, only illustrate its outer surface, which is a honeycomb of face-bonded dodecahedral cells. Only the objects in its 3-dimensional surface are rendered, namely the 120 dodecahedra, their pentagon faces, and their edges. Although the 120-cell has chords of 30 distinct lengths, in this kind of simplified rendering only the 120-cell's own edges (its shortest chord) are shown. Its 29 interior chords, the edges of objects in the interior of the 120-cell, are not rendered, so interior objects are not visible at all.

Visualizing the complete interior of the 600-vertex 120-cell in a single image is impractical because of its complexity. Only four 120-cell edges are incident at each vertex, but [[120-cell#Chords|600 chords (of all 30 lengths)]] are incident at ''each'' vertex.

== Compounds in the 120-cell ==
The 8-point (16-cell), not the 5-point (5-cell), is the smallest building block; it compounds to every larger regular 4-polytope. The 5-point (5-cell) does compound to the 600-point (120-cell), but it does not fit into any smaller regular 4-polytope. 

The 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 2 in the 16-point (8-cell), and by 3 in the 24-point (24-cell). The 16-point (8-cell) compounds in the 24-point (24-cell) by 3 non-disjoint instances of itself, with each of the 24 vertices shared by two 16-point (8-cells). The 24-point (24-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell), and the 120-point (600-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell).

The 24-point (24-cell) also compounds by 5&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; non-disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell); it compounds in 5 disjoint instances of itself, 10 (not 5) different ways. Whichever set of 5 disjoint 24-point (24-cells) are assembled, the resulting 120-point (600-cell) contains 25 distinct 24-point (24-cells), not just 5 (or 10). This implies that 15 disjoint 8-point (16-cells) will construct a 120-point (600-cell), which will contain 75 distinct 8-point (16-cells). 

The 600-point (120-cell) is 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), just 2 different ways (not 5 or 10 ways), so it is 10 distinct 120-point (600-cells). This implies that the 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 3 times 5&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; (75) disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell), which contains 3&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; times  5&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; (225) distinct instances of the 24-point (24-cell), and  3&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt; times 5&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; (675) distinct instances of the 8-point (16-cell). 

These facts were discovered painstakingly by various researchers, and no one has found a general rule governing subsumption relations among regular polytopes. The reasons for some of their numeric incidence relations are far from obvious. [[W:Pieter Hendrik Schoute|Schoute]] was the first to see that the 120-point (600-cell) is a compound of 5 24-point (24-cells) ''10 different ways'', and after he saw it a hundred years lapsed until Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler &amp; Claiborne proved his result, and showed why.{{Sfn|Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler &amp; Claiborne|2020|loc=''The geometry of H4 polytopes''}}

So much for the compounds of 16-cells. The 120-cell is also the convex hull of the compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells. That stellated compound (without its convex hull of 120-cell edges) is the [[w:Great_grand_stellated_120-cell|great grand stellated 120-cell]] illustrated above, the final regular [[W:Stellation|stellation]] of the 120-cell, and the only [[W:Schläfli-Hess polychoron|regular star 4-polytope]] to have the 120-cell for its convex hull. The edges of the great grand stellated 120-cell are &lt;math&gt;\phi^6&lt;/math&gt; as long as those of its 120-cell [[W:List of polyhedral stellations#Stellation process|stellation core]] deep inside.

The compound of 120 disjoint 5-point (5-cells) can be seen to be equivalent to the compound of 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), as follows. Beginning with a single 120-point (600-cell), expand each vertex into a regular 5-cell, by adding 4 new equidistant vertices, such that the 5 vertices form a regular 5-cell inscribed in the 3-sphere. The 120 5-cells are disjoint, and the 600 vertices form 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells): a 120-cell.

== Thirty distinguished distances ==
The 30 numbers listed in the table are all-important in Euclidean geometry. A case can be made on symmetry grounds that their squares are the 30 most important numbers between 0 and 4. The 30 rows of the table are the 30 distinct [[120-cell#Geodesic rectangles|chord lengths of the unit-radius 120-cell]], the largest regular convex 4-polytope. Since the 120-cell subsumes all smaller regular polytopes, its 30 chords are the complete chord set of all the regular polytopes that can be constructed in the first four dimensions of Euclidean space, except for regular polygons of more than 15 sides.

== The 16-cell 4-orthoplex ==
In 2-space we have the regular 8-point octagon, in 3-space the regular 8-point cube, and in 4-space the regular 8-point [[16-cell]].

A planar octagon with rigid edges of unit length has chords of length:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=1,r_2=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.848,r_3=\sqrt{2}+1 \approx 2.414,r_4=\sqrt{4 + \sqrt{8}} \approx 2.613&lt;/math&gt;

The chord ratio &lt;math&gt;r_3=\sqrt{2}+1&lt;/math&gt; is a geometrical proportion, the [[W:Silver ratio|silver ratio]]. Fontaine and Hurley's procedure for obtaining the reciprocal of a chord tells us that:

:&lt;math&gt;r_3-r_1-r_1=1/r_3 \approx 0.414&lt;/math&gt;

Note that &lt;math&gt;r_3-2=1/r_3=\sqrt{2}-1&lt;/math&gt;. Their procedure rotates counterclockwise over three &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords of an {8/3} octagram. Over the first &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chord the displacement is &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}+r_1&lt;/math&gt;. Over the second &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chord it moves in the opposite direction a distance of &lt;math&gt;-r_1&lt;/math&gt; . Over the third &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chord it also moves a distance of &lt;math&gt;-r_1&lt;/math&gt;. Fontaine and Hurley also demonstrated the significance of &lt;math&gt;1/r_i&lt;/math&gt; in Steinbach's Diagonal Product Formula, which says that every chord length is the sum of certain smaller chord lengths. The smaller chords are certain diagonals of the same regular polygon of smaller edge length, specifically edge length &lt;math&gt;1/r_i&lt;/math&gt; rather than &lt;math&gt;1&lt;/math&gt;.

If we embed the planar octagon in 3-space, we can make it skew, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from three others instead of two others, at the vertices of a unit-edge cube with chords of length:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=1, r_2=\sqrt{2}, r_3=\sqrt{3}, r_4=\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;

If we embed this cube in 4-space, we can skew it some more, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from six others instead of three others, at the vertices of a unit-edge 4-polytope with chords of length:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=1,r_2=1,r_3=1,r_4=\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;

All of its chords except its long diameters are the same unit length as its edge. In fact they are its 24 edges, and it is a 16-cell of radius &lt;math&gt;1/\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;.

[[File:octagon16cell.png|thumb|Orthogonal projection of a regular 16-cell to the [[16-cell#Projections|B&lt;sub&gt;4&lt;/sub&gt; Coxeter plane]]. Only its edges are shown; its long diameter chords are not drawn. All 24 edges are the same length and none lie parallel to the projection plane. The octagon circumference is a Petrie polygon. The two disjoint squares lie in completely orthogonal central planes. The blue octagram is a Clifford polygon. ]]

The [[16-cell]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{3,3,4\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;. It has 8 vertices, 24 edges, 32 equilateral triangle faces, and 16 regular tetrahedron cells. It is the [[16-cell#Octahedral dipyramid|four-dimensional analogue of the octahedron]], and each of its four orthogonal central hyperplanes is an octahedron.

The only planar regular polygons found in the 16-cell are face triangles and central plane squares, but the 16-cell also contains a skew regular octagon, its [[W:Petrie polygon|Petrie polygon]].{{Efn|name=Petrie polygon of a honeycomb}} The chords of this regular octagon, which lies skew in 4-space, are those given above for the 16-cell, as opposed to those for the cube or the regular octagon in the plane. The 16-cell is a construct of 3 Petrie octagons which share the same 8 vertices but have disjoint sets of 8 edges each.

The regular octad has higher symmetry in 4-space than it does in 2-space. The 16-cell is the 4-[[w:Cross-polytope|orthoplex]], the simplest regular 4-polytope after the [[5-cell|4-simplex]]. All the larger regular convex 4-polytopes are compounds of the 16-cell. The regular octagon exhibits this high symmetry only when embedded in 4-space at the vertices of the 16-cell.

The 16-cell constitutes an [[W:Orthonormal basis|orthonormal basis]] for the choice of a 4-dimensional Cartesian reference frame, because its vertices define four orthogonal axes. The eight vertices of a unit-radius 16-cell are (±1, 0, 0, 0), (0, ±1, 0, 0), (0, 0, ±1, 0), (0, 0, 0, ±1). All vertices are connected by &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; edges except opposite pairs. 

The vertex coordinates of the 16-cell form 6 central squares lying in 6 pairwise [[W:Orthogonal|orthogonal]] coordinate planes. Great squares in opposite planes that do not share an axis (e.g. in the ''xy'' and ''wz'' planes) are completely disjoint (they do not intersect at any vertices). These planes are [[W:Completely orthogonal|completely orthogonal]].{{Efn|name=Six orthogonal planes of the Cartesian basis}}

Since the unit-radius coordinate system is convenient, let us derive the unit-radius 16-cell by skewing a unit-radius planar octagon, which has chords of length:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.765,r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.848,r_4=2&lt;/math&gt;

We will need a planar octagon with rigid &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chords, rather than one with rigid &lt;math&gt;r_1&lt;/math&gt; edges. The octagon's &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chords form two disjoint great squares, visible in the orthogonal projection, which we can reposition in 3-space to form a cube by making them parallel, and in 4-space to form a 16-cell by making them completely orthogonal.

Each chord is a distinct 4-vector with a length and a direction. Since the edges of the 16-cell are all the same length &lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{2},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;, those chords are distinct only in the context of a rotation, where vertices circle over the chords of an &lt;math&gt;r_i&lt;/math&gt; polygon. The rotational curve over each &lt;math&gt;r_i&lt;/math&gt; chord makes &lt;math&gt;i&lt;/math&gt; 45° turns. The angle between two &lt;math&gt;r_i&lt;/math&gt; chords is &lt;math&gt;i \times 45^\circ&lt;/math&gt;.

[[W:Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space|Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space]] can be seen as the composition of two 2-dimensional rotations in completely orthogonal planes. The general rotation in 4-space is a [[W:SO(4)#Double rotations|double rotation]] in pairs of completely orthogonal planes. Two completely orthogonal planes are called invariant planes of the rotation when all points in the plane rotate on circles that remain in the plane, even as the whole plane tilts sideways (like a coin flipping) into another plane. The two completely orthogonal rotations of each plane (like a wheel, and like a coin flipping) are simultaneous but independent, in that they are not geometrically constrained to turn at the same rate. However, the most circular kind of rotation (as opposed to an elliptical double rotation of a rigid spherical object) occurs when the completely orthogonal planes do rotate through the same angle in the same time interval. Such equi-angled double rotations are called [[w:SO(4)#Isoclinic_rotations|isoclinic]], also [[w:William_Kingdon_Clifford|Clifford]] displacements.

The &lt;math&gt;r_1&lt;/math&gt; chords of the 16-cell form a Petrie polygon {8/1} which zig-zags back and forth, in the left and right rotational directions, between two completely orthogonal great squares formed by &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chords.

The &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chords  form the ''edge polygon'' of the 16-cell {8/2}=2{4}. The two completely orthogonal great squares lie parallel and perpendicular to each other. A ''simple'' rotation of the 16-cell in ''one'' of those two square central planes rotates that square like a wheel, while the other square does not move.{{Efn|name=simple rotations}} The four vertices of the rotating square orbit on a great circle in the plane.

The &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords of the 16-cell form a circular helix, visible as a blue {8/3} octagram in the orthogonal projection. A ''double'' rotation of the 16-cell, in both of two completely orthogonal invariant &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; square planes at once by equal angles, moves the eight vertices along the circular helix over &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords. The vertex motion is a [[w:Geodesic|geodesic]] circle orbit on the 3-sphere of a special kind: it does not lie in a central plane, its [[w:Winding_number|winding number]] is not 1 (it is 3 in this case), its circumference is not &lt;math&gt;2\pi&lt;/math&gt; (it is &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; in this case), and it moves in either a left or right handed circular spiral. We shall refer to such a chiral circle orbit as an ''isocline'', and to the skew polygram of its rotational chords as a ''Clifford polygon''.

The 16-cell is the simplest possible frame in which to [[16-cell#Rotations|observe 4-dimensional rotations]] because its characteristic rotations feature a single pair of invariant rotation planes. In the 16-cell an isoclinic rotation by 90° in any pair of invariant completely orthogonal square central planes takes every great square to its completely orthogonal great square in a twisting displacement, as the invariant planes tilt sideways 90° into each other's plane while rotating 90° internally. All the vertices move at once along the same circular helix geodesic isocline of &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords, displaced 90° in 8 orthogonal directions, and the rigid 16-cell assumes a new orientation in 4-space. When the 90° isoclinic rotation is continued in the same rotational direction through an additional 90°, each vertex is again displaced 90°, but from the new orientation in a direction orthogonal to its first 90° displacement. The rotational curve over each 90° &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chord makes three 45° turns. In 360° of isoclinic rotation over four &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords, each vertex makes six 90° turns and reaches its antipodal position.

The trajectory of each vertex over each 90° isoclinic rotational displacement is a one-eighth segment of its geodesic orbit. Its entire orbit traces an isocline circle in 4-space of circumference &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; over eight &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane twice, over the four &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; edges of a great square in one of the two moving invariant rotation planes. In the course of a 720° isoclinic revolution each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 16-cell returns to its original orientation.

We shall refer to this isoclinic rotation as the ''characteristic rotation of the 16-cell'', and note once again that it is Fontaine and Hurley's counterclockwise rotation over the &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; {8/3} star polygon, which constructs &lt;math&gt;1/r_3&lt;/math&gt;.

== The 8-cell tesseract ==
The long diameter of the unit-edge [[W:Hypercube|hypercube]] of dimension &lt;math&gt;n&lt;/math&gt; is &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{n}&lt;/math&gt;, so the unit-edge [[w:Tesseract|4-hypercube, the 16-point (8-cell) tesseract,]] has chords:
:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;
Uniquely in its 4-dimensional case, the hypercube's edge length equals its radius, like the hexagon. We call such polytopes ''radially equilateral'', because they can be constructed from equilateral triangles which meet at their center, each contributing two radii and an edge. The [[w:Cuboctahedron|cuboctahedron]] and the 24-cell are also radially equilateral.

[[File:8-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 16-point (8-cell) tesseract &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{4,3,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; performing a simple rotation about a plane in 4-space.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}} The stationary plane bisects the figure from front-left to back-right and top to bottom.]]
The [[W:Tesseract|tesseract]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{4,3,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;. It has 16 vertices, 32 edges, 24 square faces, and 8 cube cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the cube.

The 16-point tesseract is the convex hull of a compound of two 8-point 16-cells, in exact dimensional analogy to the way the 8-point cube is the convex hull of a [[W:Stellated octahedron|compound of two 4-point regular tetrahedra]]. The [[W:Demihypercube|demihypercubes]] occupy alternate vertices of the hypercubes. The diagonals of the square faces of the unit-edge, unit-radius tesseract are the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; edges of two unit-radius 16-cells, also the edges of the square central planes.

We can rotate the tesseract isoclinically the way we rotated the 16-cell, by 90° in the characteristic rotation of the 16-cell, with the same effect on both alternate-position 16-cells. In the course of a 720° revolution each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, but it does not visit the vertex positions of the other 16-cell. The two skew {8/3} octagram Clifford polygons lie on two disjoint parallel isoclines of the same chirality, of circumference &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; chords. They form a circular double helix which intersects each vertex of the tesseract once. The helix is an 8-rung ladder twisted 3 times, bent into a circle in the fourth dimension. Each rung is a tesseract edge.

The tesseract is the [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]] of the 16-cell. They have the same Petrie polygon, the regular skew octagon, but the tesseract is a construct of 4 Petrie octagons with disjoint sets of 8 tesseract edges each. We can construct the tesseract by skewing two planar octagons. Because the tesseract is radially equilateral (unlike the 16-cell), we use two octagons of unit-edge length to build the unit-radius tesseract. To start we embed the planar octagons in 4-space at the same point and make them completely orthogonal. Then we skew each planar octagon into a cube, so we have a compound of two completely orthogonal cubes, provided we skewed them both in the same direction. The 16 vertices will be the vertices of a tesseract with half its 32 edges missing.

Because the tesseract contains two 16-cells in alternate positions it has two sets of 6 orthogonal square central planes. Two angles are required to specify the relationship between two planes in 4-space. Pairs of square central planes within each 16-cell are 90° apart in one angle, and either 0° or 90° apart in the other angle. They are 90° apart in both angles if and only if they are completely orthogonal planes, 90° apart by isoclinic rotation, with no vertices in common. Otherwise they are 0° apart in one of the angles, 90° apart by simple rotation, and they intersect in one axis and lie in a common 3-dimensional hyperplane.{{Efn|A double rotation in which one of the two angles of rotation is 0°, so that one of the completely orthogonal invariant planes does not rotate, is called a simple rotation. Ordinary rotations observed in a 3-dimensional space are simple rotations.|name=simple rotations}}

A pair of square central planes from alternate-position 16-cells are 60° apart by isoclinic rotation, with their corresponding vertices 120° apart. The planes are not orthogonal or parallel, so they intersect in a line somewhere, but they have no vertices in common, they have no 3-dimensional hyperplane in common, and they cannot reach each other by simple rotation. Such pairs of objects are called [[W:Clifford parallel|Clifford parallel]] because all their corresponding pairs of vertices are the same distance apart, although they are not parallel in the usual sense, because they have a common center. Not only the alternate-position 16-cells' corresponding square central planes, but also the 16-cells themselves, are Clifford parallel objects. More generally, multiple disjoint instances of a 4-polytope which compound to make a larger 4-polytope are Clifford parallel objects.

== The 24-cell ==
[[File:24-cell vertex geometry.png|thumb|Planar geometry of the radially equilateral 24-cell, showing its 3 great circle polygons and its 4 chord lengths.]]
In 2-space we have the radially equilateral 6-point hexagon. In 3-space we have the radially equilateral 12-point cuboctahedron, with 4 hexagonal central planes. In 4-space we have the radially equilateral 24-point 24-cell, with 12 cuboctahedron central hyperplanes and 16 hexagonal central planes.

The [[24-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{3,4,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;. It has 24 vertices, 96 edges, 96 equilateral triangle faces, and 24 octahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the cuboctahedron.

The 24-cell has the same chord set as the 4-hypercube tesseract:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;

[[Image:24-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 24-point 24-cell &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{3,4,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; performing a simple rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}} The 3-dimensional surface made of 24 octahedra is visible.]]
The 24-cell is [[W:Dual polytope|self-dual]], like the regular polygons and regular simplexes. It is the maximal regular construct of triangles and squares (with no pentagons). It is the convex hull of a compound of three disjoint 8-point 16-cells, rotated 60° isoclinically with respect to each other. Each of the three pairs of 16-cells is a tesseract. Each 24-cell edge is also a tesseract edge. The corresponding vertices of two 16-cells or two tesseracts are 120° apart by a &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chord. Each tesseract has 8 cube cells, and each cube has four &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; long diameters. The &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chords joining the corresponding vertices of two tesseracts belong to the third tesseract as cell long diameters.

The 24-cell's Petrie polygon is the regular dodecagon {12}, which has chords:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\tfrac{\sqrt{3}-1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.518,r_2=\sqrt{1},r_3=\sqrt{2},r_4=\sqrt{3},r_5=\tfrac{\sqrt{3}+1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.932,r_6=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;

Fontaine and Hurley's procedure for obtaining the reciprocal of a chord tells us that: 

:&lt;math&gt;r_5-r_3+r_1+r_1-r_3=1/r_5&lt;/math&gt;

when &lt;math&gt;r_1=1&lt;/math&gt;. The procedure rotates counterclockwise over five &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; chords of a {12/5} dodecagram. In the system of unit-radius coordinates &lt;math&gt;r_1=1/r_5&lt;/math&gt;.

The &lt;math&gt;r_1&lt;/math&gt; and &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; chords of the planar dodecagon do not occur in the 24-cell, which is a construct of eight skew dodecagons with disjoint sets of twelve &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt; edges each. In the skew dodecagons the chord lengths are:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{1},r_3=\sqrt{2},r_4=\sqrt{3},r_5=\sqrt{3},r_6=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;

Where chords are the same length, they are distinct only in the context of a rotation.

In a unit-radius 24-cell, all black lines are 24-cell edges of unit length, also tesseract edges. The two disjoint hexagons lie in Clifford parallel central planes. Blue chords are &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; 16-cell edges, also isocline chords in square rotations. Green chords are &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; distances between corresponding vertices of two 16-cells, also isocline chords in hexagon rotations. The green {12/5} dodecagram is a Clifford polygon.]]
[[File:Regular_star_figure_3(8,3).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/9}=3{8/3} &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;]]
We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in Clifford parallel invariant planes containing 16-cell edges, for example in the characteristic rotation of the 16-cell, with the same effect on all three 16-cells. In 720° each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, but it does not visit the vertex positions of the other 16-cells. The rotational curve over each 90° &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; chord makes three 45° turns. Three Clifford parallel {8/3} octagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; chords form a circular triple helix {24/9}=3{8/3} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once.

We can also rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in Clifford parallel invariant planes containing 24-cell edges. A complete 24-cell great circle edge plane revolution requires 720° like a complete 16-cell great circle edge plane revolution, but it is completed in 12 isoclinic displacements of 60° each rather than 8 isoclinic displacements of 90° each.  An isoclinic rotation by 60° in any invariant central plane containing a 24-cell edge takes every great hexagon to a Clifford parallel great hexagon in a twisting displacement, as all the central planes tilt sideways 60° while rotating 60° internally. It also takes every great square to a Clifford parallel great square. All 24 vertices move at once on Clifford parallel geodesic isoclines, displaced 120° in different directions. The trajectory of each vertex over each 60° rotational displacement is a one-twelfth segment of its geodesic orbit, and its entire orbit traces an isocline circle in 4-space over &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chords. There are two distinct ways we can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in invariant planes containing 24-cell edges, called the ''characteristic left rotation'' and the ''characteristic right rotation'', respectively.

[[File:Regular star figure 2(12,5).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/10}=2{12/5} shows 2 dodecagram isoclines of &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; chords in the 24-cell]]
We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in 12 Clifford parallel invariant planes containing two &lt;math&gt;r_{1}&lt;/math&gt; edges each, over &lt;math&gt;r_{5}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. This is the ''characteristic left rotation of the 24-cell'', also Fontaine and Hurley's counterclockwise rotation over the &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; 2{12/5} star polygon which constructs &lt;math&gt;1/r_5&lt;/math&gt;. The rotational curve over each 120° &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; chord makes five 30° turns. Two Clifford parallel {12/5} dodecagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;10\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular double helix {24/10}=2{12/5} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once. The orbit of each vertex traces an isocline circle in 4-space over 12 &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane 5 times in a moving invariant rotation plane. In the course of a 720° revolution each vertex departs from 12 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 24-cell returns to its original orientation. 

[[File:Regular_star_figure_8(3,1).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/8}=8{3}&lt;small&gt; &lt;/small&gt;shows 8 of 32&lt;small&gt; &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; triangles in the 24-cell]]
We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in 4 Clifford parallel invariant great hexagon planes containing six &lt;math&gt;r_{2}&lt;/math&gt; edges each, over &lt;math&gt;r_{4}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. This is the ''characteristic right rotation of the 24-cell'', also Fontaine and Hurley's counterclockwise rotation over the &lt;math&gt;r_4&lt;/math&gt; 8{3} star polygon which constructs &lt;math&gt;1/r_4&lt;/math&gt;. The rotational curve over each 120° &lt;math&gt;r_4&lt;/math&gt; chord makes four 30° turns.  Eight Clifford parallel triangle geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;2\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;r_4&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular fibration of 8 twisted parallel strands {24/8}=8{3} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once. In three successive 60° isoclinic displacements each vertex circles a triangle and returns to its original position, but the 24-cell returns to its original orientation only after each vertex has completed circuits of the four distinct triangles which intersect at the vertex. The isocline curves over a self-intersecting dodecagram of 12 &lt;math&gt;r_4&lt;/math&gt; chords.

By examining the chords &lt;math&gt;r_i&lt;/math&gt; of the 24-cell's Petrie {12}-gon we found three distinct isoclinic rotations. If we examine the chords &lt;math&gt;t_i&lt;/math&gt; of the 24-cell's {24}-gon we find these and also three other distinct isoclinic rotations.  

Each row of the table is a distinct isoclinic rotation of the 24-cell characterized by a pair of chords that sum to 180°. The edge chords form the rotation's edge {24}-gon, and lie in invariant planes of the rotation. The isocline chords form the rotation's Clifford {24}-gon and lie in the invariant planes completely orthogonal to the edge planes. The rotational angle between successive edge chords and the rotational angle between successive isocline chords also sum to 180°.  

We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in Clifford parallel invariant planes containing 16-cell edges in 6 Clifford parallel invariant great square planes containing four &lt;math&gt;t_{6}&lt;/math&gt; edges each, over &lt;math&gt;t_{6}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. The &lt;math&gt;t_6&lt;/math&gt; chord is the 16-cell-&lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chord. The edge polygon and the Clifford polygon are both {24/6}=6{4}. This is the ''characteristic right rotation of the 24-cell''.  

The rotational curve over each 90° &lt;math&gt;t_6&lt;/math&gt; chord makes six 15° turns.  Six Clifford parallel skew triangle geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;2\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;t_6&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular fibration of six twisted parallel strands that intersects each 24-cell vertex once. &lt;s&gt;In every 360° of isoclinic rotation each vertex circles a skew great square and returns to its original position, but the 24-cell returns to its original orientation only after each vertex has completed circuits of the three distinct skew squares which intersect at the vertex and the three distinct skew squares which intersect at its antipodal vertex. The isocline curves over a self-intersecting {24}-gon of &lt;math&gt;t_6&lt;/math&gt; chords.&lt;/s&gt;

Invisible in this rendering are 25 inscribed instances of the 24-cell (above), which occur in the 600-cell as interior boundary envelopes.]]
The [[600-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{3,3,5\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;. It has 120 vertices, 720 edges, 1200 equilateral triangle faces, and 600 tetrahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the icosahedron.

The 600-cell rounds out the 24-cell by adding 96 more vertices (four more disjoint 24-cells) between the 24-cell's existing 24 vertices, in effect adding twenty-four more distinct 24-cells inscribed in the 600-cell. The new surface thus formed is a honeycomb of smaller, more numerous cells: tetrahedra of edge length &lt;math&gt;\phi^{-1} \approx 0.618&lt;/math&gt; instead of octahedra of edge length &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt;. It encloses the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt; edges of the 24-cells, which become invisible interior chords in the 600-cell, like the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; and &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chords.

Since the tetrahedra are made of shorter triangle edges than the octahedra (by a factor of &lt;math&gt;\phi^{-1}&lt;/math&gt;, the inverse golden ratio), the 600-cell is not radially equilateral like the 24-cell and the tesseract. Like them it is radially triangular in a special way, but one in which [[w:Golden_triangle_(mathematics)|golden triangles]] rather than equilateral triangles meet at the center.

In 2-space we have the ''radially golden'' [[W:Decagon#The golden ratio in decagon|regular decagon]]. In 3-space we have the radially golden 30-point [[W:icosidodecahedron|icosidodecahedron]], with 6 decagon central planes. In 4-space we have the radially golden 120-point 600-cell, with 60 icosidodecahedron central hyperplanes and 72 decagon central planes.

The 600-cell's Petrie polygon is the regular [[w:Triacontagon|triacontagon {30}]]. The unit-radius planar {30}-gon has these distinct chords:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=2 \sin (\tfrac{\pi}{15}/2) \approx 0.209&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_2=2 \sin (\tfrac{2\pi}{15}/2) \approx 0.416&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_3=2 \sin (\tfrac{\pi}{5}/2)=\phi^{-1} \approx 0.618&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_4=2 \sin (\tfrac{4\pi}{15}/2) \approx 0.813&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_5=2 \sin (\tfrac{\pi}{3}/2)=\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_6=2 \sin (\tfrac{2\pi}{5}/2)=\sqrt{3-\phi} \approx 1.176&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_7=2 \sin (\tfrac{7\pi}{15}/2) \approx 1.338&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_8=2 \cos (\tfrac{7\pi}{15}/2) \approx 1.486&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_9=2 \sin (\tfrac{3\pi}{5}/2)=\phi \approx 1.618&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{10}=2 \sin (\tfrac{2\pi}{3}/2)=\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{11}=2 \cos (\tfrac{4\pi}{15}/2) \approx 1.827&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{12}=2 \sin (\tfrac{4\pi}{5}/2)=\sqrt{2+\phi} \approx 1.902&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{13}=2 \cos (\tfrac{2\pi}{15}/2) \approx 1.956&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{14}=2 \cos (\tfrac{\pi}{15}/2) \approx 1.989&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{15}=2 \sin (\pi/2)=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;

Only the chord lengths &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_6&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_9&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_{10}&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_{12}&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_{15}&lt;/math&gt; occur in the 600-cell, which is a construct of 24 Petrie {30}-gons of edge length &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt;, six of which intersect in each icosahedral vertex figure. In the skew {30}-gons the chord lengths are:

:&lt;math&gt;r_{15}=2 \sin (\pi/2)=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;

Where chords are the same length, they are distinct only in the context of a rotation.

The list of 600-cell chords &lt;math&gt;r_{i}&lt;/math&gt; can be rearranged into a table of 8 rows and 2 columns with a pair of 180° complements in each row. The short chord and long chord each have their characteristic {30/n}-gon. Each row identifies a discrete isoclinic rotation of the 600-cell in invariant central planes containing the edges of the short chord {30}-gon, over the isocline chords of the long chord {30}-gon, the rotation's Clifford polygon.

Each distinct pair of complementary chord lengths is identified with a distinct [[w:600-cell#Polyhedral sections|polyhedral section of the 600-cell]] beginning with a vertex. In spherical [[w:3-sphere|3-dimensional space &lt;math&gt;\mathbb{S}^3&lt;/math&gt;]], every vertex is the center of a set of 7 concentric polyhedra of increasing radii that nest like [[w:Matryoshka_doll|Russian dolls.]] The smallest polyhedral section at radial distance &lt;math&gt;\phi^{-1}&lt;/math&gt; is a icosahedron vertex figure, and the largest section at radial distance &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; is an [[W:Icosidodecahedron|icosidodecahedron]] central section bisecting the 600-cell. Because  [[w:3-sphere|&lt;math&gt;\mathbb{S}^3&lt;/math&gt;]] is spherical, at radial distances greater than &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; the successive complement-radius polyhedra decrease in size, to the antipodal icosahedron vertex figure at distance &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2+\phi}&lt;/math&gt;. In Euclidean 4-dimensional space &lt;math&gt;\mathbb{R}^4&lt;/math&gt;, every vertex is the apex of 7 [[w:Hyperpyramid|polyhedral pyramids]], where the pyramid's lateral edge length is the radial distance and its base polyhedron is the section. Each section lies parallel to a congruent complement-radius section (or coincident with it, in the case of the central section).

[[File:Regular_star_figure_3(8,3).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/9}=3{8/3} &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;]]
We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in the great square rotation characteristic of the 16-cell,  with the same effect on 15 disjoint 16-cells. Each 90° displacement takes 15 pairs of completely orthogonal invariant great square planes to each other. In the course of a 720° revolution each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, without visiting other vertex positions. The rotational curve over each 90° chord makes three 45° turns. Fifteen Clifford parallel {8/3} octagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular fibration of 15 twisted parallel strands 5{24/9}=15{8/3} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.

The 600-cell has another distinct isoclinic rotation in invariant great square planes, which has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. This [''great square left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell]'' takes place over &lt;math&gt;r_7&lt;/math&gt; edge chords and &lt;math&gt;r_8&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. The {30/7} edge polygon is a skew helix of circumference &lt;math&gt;14\pi&lt;/math&gt; with each &lt;math&gt;r_7&lt;/math&gt; edge belonging to a distinct great square. The four {30/7} polygrams contribute one edge each to 30 great squares. Each 90° displacement takes every 16-cell to another 16-cell. The vertices of the invariant great squares each make seven orbits on a great circle within the moving invariant plane in the course of one complete revolution. The rotational curve over each 90° {30/7} edge makes seven 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/7} geodesics of circumference &lt;math&gt;16\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. The {30/8}=2{15/4} Clifford polygon is a compound of two skew {15/4} pentadecagrams of circumference &lt;math&gt;16\pi&lt;/math&gt; with each &lt;math&gt;r_8&lt;/math&gt; isocline chord belonging to a distinct 16-cell. The four {30/8} polygrams contribute one edge each to 30 great squares. The rotational curve over each 90° {30/8} isocline chord makes eight 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/8} geodesics of circumference &lt;math&gt;16\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.

[[File:Regular star figure 2(12,5).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/10}=2{12/5} &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; ]]
We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in the great hexagon rotation characteristic of the 24-cell, over &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt; edge chords and &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords, with the same effect on 5 disjoint 24-cells. In the course of a 720° revolution each vertex departs from 12 vertex positions of its 24-cell just once and returns to its original position, without visiting other vertex positions. Ten Clifford parallel {12/5} dodecagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;10\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular fibration of ten twisted parallel strands 5{24/10}=10{12/5} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. 

The 600-cell has another distinct isoclinic rotation in invariant great hexagon planes, over &lt;math&gt;r_{4}=\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt; edge chords and &lt;math&gt;r_{11}=\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords This [''invariant great hexagon left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell]'' has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. Its {30/11} Clifford polygon is a skew helix where each &lt;math&gt;r_{11}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chord is the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; diagonal of a great hexagon of a distinct 24-cell. The vertices of the invariant great hexagons of this rotation each make eleven orbits on a great circle within the moving invariant plane in the course of one complete revolution. The rotational curve over each 120° &lt;math&gt;r_{11}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chord makes eleven 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/11} geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;22\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;r_{11}&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. 

We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in 12 Clifford parallel invariant decagon central planes containing its 36° &lt;math&gt;r_{3}&lt;/math&gt; edges, over 144° &lt;math&gt;r_{12}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. This ''invariant great decagon rotation characteristic of the 600-cell'' has period 5 and takes disjoint 24-cells to each other. The rotational curve over each &lt;math&gt;r_{12}&lt;/math&gt; chord of its {5/2} Clifford polygon makes twelve 12° turns. 24 Clifford parallel {5/2} pentagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;4\pi&lt;/math&gt; over five &lt;math&gt;r_{12}&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular fibration of 24 twisted parallel strands 4{30/12}=24{5/2} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. 

The rotation of the 600-cell by 36° in any invariant decagon central plane takes every great decagon to a Clifford parallel great decagon in a twisting displacement, as all the central planes tilt sideways 36° while rotating 36° internally. It also takes every great hexagon to a Clifford parallel great hexagon, and every great square to a Clifford parallel great square. The 24-cells revolve within the 600-cell, as the 16-cells revolve within the 24-cells. All 120 vertices move at once on four Clifford parallel geodesic isoclines, displaced 144° in different directions.

The 600-cell has another distinct isoclinic rotation in invariant great decagon planes containing its 36° &lt;math&gt;r_{2}&lt;/math&gt; edges, over 144° &lt;math&gt;r_{13}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. This [''great decagon left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell]'' has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. The rotational curve over each 144° &lt;math&gt;r_{13}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chord makes thirteen 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/13} geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;26\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.

The [[User:Dc.samizdat/Golden chords of the 120-cell#Thirty distinguished distances|list of thirty 120-cell chords]] &lt;math&gt;c_{t}&lt;/math&gt; can be rearranged into a table of 16 rows and 2 columns with a pair of 180° complements in each row. This table first appears in [[w:Regular_Polytopes_(book)|''Regular Polytopes'']] (1947),{{Sfn|Coxeter|1973|loc=Table V(v): Simplified sections of {5,3,3} beginning with a vertex|pp=300-301}} where Coxeter identified each row with a distinct [[w:120-cell#Concentric_hulls|polyhedral section of the 120-cell]] beginning with a vertex. In spherical [[w:3-sphere|3-dimensional space &lt;math&gt;\mathbb{S}^3&lt;/math&gt;]], every vertex is the center of a set of 29 concentric polyhedra of increasing radii that nest like [[w:Matryoshka_doll|Russian dolls.]] The smallest polyhedral section at radial distance &lt;math&gt;c_1&lt;/math&gt; is a tetrahedron vertex figure, and the largest section at radial distance &lt;math&gt;c_{15}&lt;/math&gt; is a central section bisecting the 120-cell. Because  [[w:3-sphere|&lt;math&gt;\mathbb{S}^3&lt;/math&gt;]] is spherical, at radial distances greater than &lt;math&gt;c_{15}&lt;/math&gt; the successive complement-radius polyhedra decrease in size, to the antipodal tetrahedron vertex figure at distance &lt;math&gt;c_{29}&lt;/math&gt;. In Euclidean 4-dimensional space &lt;math&gt;\mathbb{R}^4&lt;/math&gt;, every vertex is the apex of 29 [[w:Hyperpyramid|polyhedral pyramids]], where the pyramid's lateral edge length is the radial distance and its base polyhedron is the section. Each section lies parallel to a congruent complement-radius section (or coincident with it, in the case of the central section). Each section also lies completely orthogonal to a congruent section. 

Only 8 of the 30 chords in the table occur in the 600-cell and the planar {30)-gon. The 120-cell's additional chords arise originally from the regular 5-cell, in its interaction with the other regular 4-polytopes that compound to make the 120-cell. Since all those polytopes except the 5-cell occur in the 600-cell, and the 600-cell and the 120-cell have the same symmetry group, the 5-cell's symmetry group is what's new in the 120-cell.

== Finally the 120-cell ==
The [[120-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{5,3,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;. It has 600 vertices, 1200 edges, 720 pentagon faces, and 120 dodecahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the dodecahedron.

The 120-cell is the [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]] of the 600-cell. They have the same Petrie polygon, the regular skew triacontagon {30}, but the 120-cell is a construct of 40 Petrie {30}-gons of edge length &lt;math&gt;c_1&lt;/math&gt;, two of which intersect in each tetrahedral vertex figure.

== Conclusions ==

Fontaine and Hurley's discovery is more than a geometric formula for the reciprocal of a regular ''n''-polygon diagonal. It also yields the discrete sequence of isocline chords of the characteristic isoclinic rotation of a ''d''-dimensional polytope in its invariant edge planes. The characteristic rotational chord sequence of the ''d''-polytope can be represented geometrically in two dimensions on a distinct star polygon, but it lies on a geodesic circle through ''d''-dimensional space. Fontaine and Hurley discovered the geodesic topology of polytopes generally. Their procedure will reveal the geodesics of arbitrary non-uniform polytopes, since it can be applied to a polytope of any dimensionality and irregularity, by first fitting the polytope to the smallest regular polygon whose chords include its chords. [If what is meant by this is its Petrie polygon, it is not quite necessary or possible with respect to the planar polygon chords, e.g. the planar Petrie polygon of the 600-cell does not contain the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; chord. But perhaps it would work if the fit is to the smallest regular skew polygon in the ''d''-space.]

The discovery of a chordal construction for discrete isoclinic rotations generally closes the circuit on Kappraff and Adamson's discovery of a rotational connection between dynamical systems, Steinbach's golden fields, and Coxeter's Euclidean geometry of ''n'' dimensions. Application of the Fontaine and Hurley procedure in the 120-cell demonstrates why the connection exists: because polytope sequences generally, from Steinbach's golden chord sequences in polygons, to sequences of star polygons in isoclinic rotations, to subsumption relations in the sequence of regular 4-polytopes, arise as expressions of the reflections and rotations of distinct Coxeter symmetry groups, when those various groups interact.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Steinbach discovered the formula for the ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. Fontaine and Hurley extended this result, discovering a formula for the reciprocal of a regular polygon chord derived geometrically from the chord's star polygon. We observe that these findings in plane geometry apply more generally, to polytopes of any dimensionality. Fontaine and Hurley's geometric procedure for finding the reciprocals of the chords of a regular polygon from their star polygons also finds the rotational geodesics of any polytope of any dimensionality.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
== Introduction ==
Steinbach discovered the Diagonal Product Formula and the Golden Fields family of ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. He showed how this family extends beyond the pentagon {5} with its well-known golden bisection proportional to 𝜙, finding that the heptagon {7} has an analogous trisection, the nonagon {9} has an analogous quadrasection, and the hendecagon {11} has an analogous pentasection, an extended family of golden proportions with quasiperiodic properties. 

Kappraff and Adamson extended these findings in plane geometry to a theory of Generalized Fibonacci Sequences, showing that the Golden Fields not only do not end with the hendecagon, they form an infinite number of periodic trajectories when operated on by the Mandelbrot operator. They found a relation between the edges of star polygons and dynamical systems in the state of chaos, revealing a connection between chaos theory, number, and rotations in Coxeter Euclidean geometry. 

Fontaine and Hurley examined Steinbach's finding that the length of each chord of a regular polygon is both the product of two chords and the sum of a set of smaller chords, so that in rotations to add is to multiply. They illustrated Steinbach's sets of additive chords lying parallel to each other in the plane (pointing in the same direction), and by applying Steinbach's formula more generally they found another summation relation of signed parallel chords (pointing in opposite directions) which relates each chord length to its reciprocal, and relates the summation to a distinct star polygon rotation. 

We examine these remarkable findings (which stem from study of the chords of humble regular polygons) in higher-dimensional spaces, specifically in the chords, polygons and rotations of the [[120-cell]], the largest four-dimensional regular convex polytope.

[[120-cell#Geometry|The 120-cell is the maximally complex regular 4-polytope]], containing inscribed instances of every regular 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-polytope, except the regular polygons of more than {15} sides. 

The 120-cell is the convex hull of a regular [[120-cell#Relationships among interior polytopes|compound of each of the 6 regular convex 4-polytopes]]. They are the [[5-cell|5-point (5-cell) 4-simplex]], the [[16-cell|8-point (16-cell) 4-orthoplex]], the [[W:Tesseract|16-point (8-cell) tesseract]], the [[24-cell|24-point (24-cell)]], the [[600-cell|120-point (600-cell)]], and the [[120-cell|600-point (120-cell)]]. The 120-cell is the convex hull of a compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells, of 75 disjoint 16-cells, of 25 disjoint 24-cells, and of 5 disjoint 600-cells.

The 120-cell contains an even larger inventory of irregular polytopes, created by the intersection of multiple instances of these component regular 4-polytopes. Many are quite unexpected, because they do not occur as components of any regular polytope smaller than the 120-cell. As just one example among the [[120-cell#Concentric hulls|sections of the 120-cell]], there is an irregular 24-point polyhedron with 16 triangle faces and 4 nonagon {9} faces.{{Sfn|Moxness|}}

Most renderings of the 120-cell, like the rotating projection here, only illustrate its outer surface, which is a honeycomb of face-bonded dodecahedral cells. Only the objects in its 3-dimensional surface are rendered, namely the 120 dodecahedra, their pentagon faces, and their edges. Although the 120-cell has chords of 30 distinct lengths, in this kind of simplified rendering only the 120-cell's own edges (its shortest chord) are shown. Its 29 interior chords, the edges of objects in the interior of the 120-cell, are not rendered, so interior objects are not visible at all.

Visualizing the complete interior of the 600-vertex 120-cell in a single image is impractical because of its complexity. Only four 120-cell edges are incident at each vertex, but [[120-cell#Chords|600 chords (of all 30 lengths)]] are incident at ''each'' vertex.

== Compounds in the 120-cell ==
The 8-point (16-cell), not the 5-point (5-cell), is the smallest building block; it compounds to every larger regular 4-polytope. The 5-point (5-cell) does compound to the 600-point (120-cell), but it does not fit into any smaller regular 4-polytope. 

The 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 2 in the 16-point (8-cell), and by 3 in the 24-point (24-cell). The 16-point (8-cell) compounds in the 24-point (24-cell) by 3 non-disjoint instances of itself, with each of the 24 vertices shared by two 16-point (8-cells). The 24-point (24-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell), and the 120-point (600-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell).

The 24-point (24-cell) also compounds by 5&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; non-disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell); it compounds in 5 disjoint instances of itself, 10 (not 5) different ways. Whichever set of 5 disjoint 24-point (24-cells) are assembled, the resulting 120-point (600-cell) contains 25 distinct 24-point (24-cells), not just 5 (or 10). This implies that 15 disjoint 8-point (16-cells) will construct a 120-point (600-cell), which will contain 75 distinct 8-point (16-cells). 

The 600-point (120-cell) is 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), just 2 different ways (not 5 or 10 ways), so it is 10 distinct 120-point (600-cells). This implies that the 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 3 times 5&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; (75) disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell), which contains 3&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; times  5&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; (225) distinct instances of the 24-point (24-cell), and  3&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt; times 5&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; (675) distinct instances of the 8-point (16-cell). 

These facts were discovered painstakingly by various researchers, and no one has found a general rule governing subsumption relations among regular polytopes. The reasons for some of their numeric incidence relations are far from obvious. [[W:Pieter Hendrik Schoute|Schoute]] was the first to see that the 120-point (600-cell) is a compound of 5 24-point (24-cells) ''10 different ways'', and after he saw it a hundred years lapsed until Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler &amp; Claiborne proved his result, and showed why.{{Sfn|Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler &amp; Claiborne|2020|loc=''The geometry of H4 polytopes''}}

So much for the compounds of 16-cells. The 120-cell is also the convex hull of the compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells. That stellated compound (without its convex hull of 120-cell edges) is the [[w:Great_grand_stellated_120-cell|great grand stellated 120-cell]] illustrated above, the final regular [[W:Stellation|stellation]] of the 120-cell, and the only [[W:Schläfli-Hess polychoron|regular star 4-polytope]] to have the 120-cell for its convex hull. The edges of the great grand stellated 120-cell are &lt;math&gt;\phi^6&lt;/math&gt; as long as those of its 120-cell [[W:List of polyhedral stellations#Stellation process|stellation core]] deep inside.

The compound of 120 disjoint 5-point (5-cells) can be seen to be equivalent to the compound of 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), as follows. Beginning with a single 120-point (600-cell), expand each vertex into a regular 5-cell, by adding 4 new equidistant vertices, such that the 5 vertices form a regular 5-cell inscribed in the 3-sphere. The 120 5-cells are disjoint, and the 600 vertices form 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells): a 120-cell.

== Thirty distinguished distances ==
The 30 numbers listed in the table are all-important in Euclidean geometry. A case can be made on symmetry grounds that their squares are the 30 most important numbers between 0 and 4. The 30 rows of the table are the 30 distinct [[120-cell#Geodesic rectangles|chord lengths of the unit-radius 120-cell]], the largest regular convex 4-polytope. Since the 120-cell subsumes all smaller regular polytopes, its 30 chords are the complete chord set of all the regular polytopes that can be constructed in the first four dimensions of Euclidean space, except for regular polygons of more than 15 sides.

== The 16-cell 4-orthoplex ==
In 2-space we have the regular 8-point octagon, in 3-space the regular 8-point cube, and in 4-space the regular 8-point [[16-cell]].

A planar octagon with rigid edges of unit length has chords of length:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=1,r_2=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.848,r_3=\sqrt{2}+1 \approx 2.414,r_4=\sqrt{4 + \sqrt{8}} \approx 2.613&lt;/math&gt;

The chord ratio &lt;math&gt;r_3=\sqrt{2}+1&lt;/math&gt; is a geometrical proportion, the [[W:Silver ratio|silver ratio]]. Fontaine and Hurley's procedure for obtaining the reciprocal of a chord tells us that:

:&lt;math&gt;r_3-r_1-r_1=1/r_3 \approx 0.414&lt;/math&gt;

Note that &lt;math&gt;r_3-2=1/r_3=\sqrt{2}-1&lt;/math&gt;. Their procedure rotates counterclockwise over three &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords of an {8/3} octagram. Over the first &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chord the displacement is &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}+1&lt;/math&gt;. Over the second &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chord it moves in the opposite direction a distance of &lt;math&gt;-1&lt;/math&gt; . Over the third &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chord it also moves a distance of &lt;math&gt;-1&lt;/math&gt;. Fontaine and Hurley also demonstrated the significance of &lt;math&gt;1/r_i&lt;/math&gt; in Steinbach's Diagonal Product Formula, which says that every chord length is the sum of certain smaller chord lengths. The smaller chords are certain diagonals of the same regular polygon of smaller edge length, specifically edge length &lt;math&gt;1/r_i&lt;/math&gt; rather than &lt;math&gt;1&lt;/math&gt;.

If we embed the planar octagon in 3-space, we can make it skew, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from three others instead of two others, at the vertices of a unit-edge cube with chords of length:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=1, r_2=\sqrt{2}, r_3=\sqrt{3}, r_4=\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;

If we embed this cube in 4-space, we can skew it some more, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from six others instead of three others, at the vertices of a unit-edge 4-polytope with chords of length:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=1,r_2=1,r_3=1,r_4=\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;

All of its chords except its long diameters are the same unit length as its edge. In fact they are its 24 edges, and it is a 16-cell of radius &lt;math&gt;1/\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;.

[[File:octagon16cell.png|thumb|Orthogonal projection of a regular 16-cell to the [[16-cell#Projections|B&lt;sub&gt;4&lt;/sub&gt; Coxeter plane]]. Only its edges are shown; its long diameter chords are not drawn. All 24 edges are the same length and none lie parallel to the projection plane. The octagon circumference is a Petrie polygon. The two disjoint squares lie in completely orthogonal central planes. The blue octagram is a Clifford polygon. ]]

The [[16-cell]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{3,3,4\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;. It has 8 vertices, 24 edges, 32 equilateral triangle faces, and 16 regular tetrahedron cells. It is the [[16-cell#Octahedral dipyramid|four-dimensional analogue of the octahedron]], and each of its four orthogonal central hyperplanes is an octahedron.

The only planar regular polygons found in the 16-cell are face triangles and central plane squares, but the 16-cell also contains a skew regular octagon, its [[W:Petrie polygon|Petrie polygon]].{{Efn|name=Petrie polygon of a honeycomb}} The chords of this regular octagon, which lies skew in 4-space, are those given above for the 16-cell, as opposed to those for the cube or the regular octagon in the plane. The 16-cell is a construct of 3 Petrie octagons which share the same 8 vertices but have disjoint sets of 8 edges each.

The regular octad has higher symmetry in 4-space than it does in 2-space. The 16-cell is the 4-[[w:Cross-polytope|orthoplex]], the simplest regular 4-polytope after the [[5-cell|4-simplex]]. All the larger regular convex 4-polytopes are compounds of the 16-cell. The regular octagon exhibits this high symmetry only when embedded in 4-space at the vertices of the 16-cell.

The 16-cell constitutes an [[W:Orthonormal basis|orthonormal basis]] for the choice of a 4-dimensional Cartesian reference frame, because its vertices define four orthogonal axes. The eight vertices of a unit-radius 16-cell are (±1, 0, 0, 0), (0, ±1, 0, 0), (0, 0, ±1, 0), (0, 0, 0, ±1). All vertices are connected by &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; edges except opposite pairs. 

The vertex coordinates of the 16-cell form 6 central squares lying in 6 pairwise [[W:Orthogonal|orthogonal]] coordinate planes. Great squares in opposite planes that do not share an axis (e.g. in the ''xy'' and ''wz'' planes) are completely disjoint (they do not intersect at any vertices). These planes are [[W:Completely orthogonal|completely orthogonal]].{{Efn|name=Six orthogonal planes of the Cartesian basis}}

Since the unit-radius coordinate system is convenient, let us derive the unit-radius 16-cell by skewing a unit-radius planar octagon, which has chords of length:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.765,r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.848,r_4=2&lt;/math&gt;

We will need a planar octagon with rigid &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chords, rather than one with rigid &lt;math&gt;r_1&lt;/math&gt; edges. The octagon's &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chords form two disjoint great squares, visible in the orthogonal projection, which we can reposition in 3-space to form a cube by making them parallel, and in 4-space to form a 16-cell by making them completely orthogonal.

Each chord is a distinct 4-vector with a length and a direction. Since the edges of the 16-cell are all the same length &lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{2},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;, those chords are distinct only in the context of a rotation, where vertices circle over the chords of an &lt;math&gt;r_i&lt;/math&gt; polygon. The rotational curve over each &lt;math&gt;r_i&lt;/math&gt; chord makes &lt;math&gt;i&lt;/math&gt; 45° turns. The angle between two &lt;math&gt;r_i&lt;/math&gt; chords is &lt;math&gt;i \times 45^\circ&lt;/math&gt;.

[[File:16-cell-orig.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 8-point 16-cell &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{3,3,4\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; performing a double rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}}]]
[[W:Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space|Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space]] can be seen as the composition of two 2-dimensional rotations in completely orthogonal planes. The general rotation in 4-space is a [[W:SO(4)#Double rotations|double rotation]] in pairs of completely orthogonal planes. Two completely orthogonal planes are called invariant planes of the rotation when all points in the plane rotate on circles that remain in the plane, even as the whole plane tilts sideways (like a coin flipping) into another plane. The two completely orthogonal rotations of each plane (like a wheel, and like a coin flipping) are simultaneous but independent, in that they are not geometrically constrained to turn at the same rate. However, the most circular kind of rotation (as opposed to an elliptical double rotation of a rigid spherical object) occurs when the completely orthogonal planes do rotate through the same angle in the same time interval. Such equi-angled double rotations are called [[w:SO(4)#Isoclinic_rotations|isoclinic]], also [[w:William_Kingdon_Clifford|Clifford]] displacements.

The &lt;math&gt;r_1&lt;/math&gt; chords of the 16-cell form a Petrie polygon {8/1} which zig-zags back and forth, in the left and right rotational directions, between two completely orthogonal great squares formed by &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chords.

The &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chords  form the ''edge polygon'' of the 16-cell {8/2}=2{4}. The two completely orthogonal great squares lie parallel and perpendicular to each other. A ''simple'' rotation of the 16-cell in ''one'' of those two square central planes rotates that square like a wheel, while the other square does not move.{{Efn|name=simple rotations}} The four vertices of the rotating square orbit on a great circle in the plane.

The &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords of the 16-cell form a circular helix, visible as a blue {8/3} octagram in the orthogonal projection. A ''double'' rotation of the 16-cell, in both of two completely orthogonal invariant &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; square planes at once by equal angles, moves the eight vertices along the circular helix over &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords. The vertex motion is a [[w:Geodesic|geodesic]] circle orbit on the 3-sphere of a special kind: it does not lie in a central plane, its [[w:Winding_number|winding number]] is not 1 (it is 3 in this case), its circumference is not &lt;math&gt;2\pi&lt;/math&gt; (it is &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; in this case), and it moves in either a left or right handed circular spiral. We shall refer to such a chiral circle orbit as an ''isocline'', and to the skew polygram of its rotational chords as a ''Clifford polygon''.

The 16-cell is the simplest possible frame in which to [[16-cell#Rotations|observe 4-dimensional rotations]] because its characteristic rotations feature a single pair of invariant rotation planes. In the 16-cell an isoclinic rotation by 90° in any pair of invariant completely orthogonal square central planes takes every great square to its completely orthogonal great square in a twisting displacement, as the invariant planes tilt sideways 90° into each other's plane while rotating 90° internally. All the vertices move at once along the same circular helix geodesic isocline of &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords, displaced 90° in 8 orthogonal directions, and the rigid 16-cell assumes a new orientation in 4-space. When the 90° isoclinic rotation is continued in the same rotational direction through an additional 90°, each vertex is again displaced 90°, but from the new orientation in a direction orthogonal to its first 90° displacement. The rotational curve over each 90° &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chord makes three 45° turns. In 360° of isoclinic rotation over four &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords, each vertex makes six 90° turns and reaches its antipodal position.

The trajectory of each vertex over each 90° isoclinic rotational displacement is a one-eighth segment of its geodesic orbit. Its entire orbit traces an isocline circle in 4-space of circumference &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; over eight &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane twice, over the four &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; edges of a great square in one of the two moving invariant rotation planes. In the course of a 720° isoclinic revolution each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 16-cell returns to its original orientation.

We shall refer to this isoclinic rotation as the ''characteristic rotation of the 16-cell'', and note once again that it is Fontaine and Hurley's counterclockwise rotation over the &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; {8/3} star polygon, which constructs &lt;math&gt;1/r_3&lt;/math&gt;.

== The 8-cell tesseract ==
The long diameter of the unit-edge [[W:Hypercube|hypercube]] of dimension &lt;math&gt;n&lt;/math&gt; is &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{n}&lt;/math&gt;, so the unit-edge [[w:Tesseract|4-hypercube, the 16-point (8-cell) tesseract,]] has chords:
:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;
Uniquely in its 4-dimensional case, the hypercube's edge length equals its radius, like the hexagon. We call such polytopes ''radially equilateral'', because they can be constructed from equilateral triangles which meet at their center, each contributing two radii and an edge. The [[w:Cuboctahedron|cuboctahedron]] and the 24-cell are also radially equilateral.

[[File:8-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 16-point (8-cell) tesseract &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{4,3,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; performing a simple rotation about a plane in 4-space.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}} The stationary plane bisects the figure from front-left to back-right and top to bottom.]]
The [[W:Tesseract|tesseract]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{4,3,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;. It has 16 vertices, 32 edges, 24 square faces, and 8 cube cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the cube.

The 16-point tesseract is the convex hull of a compound of two 8-point 16-cells, in exact dimensional analogy to the way the 8-point cube is the convex hull of a [[W:Stellated octahedron|compound of two 4-point regular tetrahedra]]. The [[W:Demihypercube|demihypercubes]] occupy alternate vertices of the hypercubes. The diagonals of the square faces of the unit-edge, unit-radius tesseract are the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; edges of two unit-radius 16-cells, also the edges of the square central planes.

We can rotate the tesseract isoclinically the way we rotated the 16-cell, by 90° in the characteristic rotation of the 16-cell, with the same effect on both alternate-position 16-cells. In the course of a 720° revolution each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, but it does not visit the vertex positions of the other 16-cell. The two skew {8/3} octagram Clifford polygons lie on two disjoint parallel isoclines of the same chirality, of circumference &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; chords. They form a circular double helix which intersects each vertex of the tesseract once. The helix is an 8-rung ladder twisted 3 times, bent into a circle in the fourth dimension. Each rung is a tesseract edge.

The tesseract is the [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]] of the 16-cell. They have the same Petrie polygon, the regular skew octagon, but the tesseract is a construct of 4 Petrie octagons with disjoint sets of 8 tesseract edges each. We can construct the tesseract by skewing two planar octagons. Because the tesseract is radially equilateral (unlike the 16-cell), we use two octagons of unit-edge length to build the unit-radius tesseract. To start we embed the planar octagons in 4-space at the same point and make them completely orthogonal. Then we skew each planar octagon into a cube, so we have a compound of two completely orthogonal cubes, provided we skewed them both in the same direction. The 16 vertices will be the vertices of a tesseract with half its 32 edges missing.

Because the tesseract contains two 16-cells in alternate positions it has two sets of 6 orthogonal square central planes. Two angles are required to specify the relationship between two planes in 4-space. Pairs of square central planes within each 16-cell are 90° apart in one angle, and either 0° or 90° apart in the other angle. They are 90° apart in both angles if and only if they are completely orthogonal planes, 90° apart by isoclinic rotation, with no vertices in common. Otherwise they are 0° apart in one of the angles, 90° apart by simple rotation, and they intersect in one axis and lie in a common 3-dimensional hyperplane.{{Efn|A double rotation in which one of the two angles of rotation is 0°, so that one of the completely orthogonal invariant planes does not rotate, is called a simple rotation. Ordinary rotations observed in a 3-dimensional space are simple rotations.|name=simple rotations}}

A pair of square central planes from alternate-position 16-cells are 60° apart by isoclinic rotation, with their corresponding vertices 120° apart. The planes are not orthogonal or parallel, so they intersect in a line somewhere, but they have no vertices in common, they have no 3-dimensional hyperplane in common, and they cannot reach each other by simple rotation. Such pairs of objects are called [[W:Clifford parallel|Clifford parallel]] because all their corresponding pairs of vertices are the same distance apart, although they are not parallel in the usual sense, because they have a common center. Not only the alternate-position 16-cells' corresponding square central planes, but also the 16-cells themselves, are Clifford parallel objects. More generally, multiple disjoint instances of a 4-polytope which compound to make a larger 4-polytope are Clifford parallel objects.

== The 24-cell ==
[[File:24-cell vertex geometry.png|thumb|Planar geometry of the radially equilateral 24-cell, showing its 3 great circle polygons and its 4 chord lengths.]]
In 2-space we have the radially equilateral 6-point hexagon. In 3-space we have the radially equilateral 12-point cuboctahedron, with 4 hexagonal central planes. In 4-space we have the radially equilateral 24-point 24-cell, with 12 cuboctahedron central hyperplanes and 16 hexagonal central planes.

The [[24-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{3,4,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;. It has 24 vertices, 96 edges, 96 equilateral triangle faces, and 24 octahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the cuboctahedron.

The 24-cell has the same chord set as the 4-hypercube tesseract:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;

[[Image:24-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 24-point 24-cell &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{3,4,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; performing a simple rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}} The 3-dimensional surface made of 24 octahedra is visible.]]
The 24-cell is [[W:Dual polytope|self-dual]], like the regular polygons and regular simplexes. It is the maximal regular construct of triangles and squares (with no pentagons). It is the convex hull of a compound of three disjoint 8-point 16-cells, rotated 60° isoclinically with respect to each other. Each of the three pairs of 16-cells is a tesseract. Each 24-cell edge is also a tesseract edge. The corresponding vertices of two 16-cells or two tesseracts are 120° apart by a &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chord. Each tesseract has 8 cube cells, and each cube has four &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; long diameters. The &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chords joining the corresponding vertices of two tesseracts belong to the third tesseract as cell long diameters.

The 24-cell's Petrie polygon is the regular dodecagon {12}, which has chords:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\tfrac{\sqrt{3}-1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.518,r_2=\sqrt{1},r_3=\sqrt{2},r_4=\sqrt{3},r_5=\tfrac{\sqrt{3}+1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.932,r_6=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;

Fontaine and Hurley's procedure for obtaining the reciprocal of a chord tells us that: 

:&lt;math&gt;r_5-r_3+r_1+r_1-r_3=1/r_5&lt;/math&gt;

when &lt;math&gt;r_1=1&lt;/math&gt;. The procedure rotates counterclockwise over five &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; chords of a {12/5} dodecagram. In the system of unit-radius coordinates &lt;math&gt;r_1=1/r_5&lt;/math&gt;.

The &lt;math&gt;r_1&lt;/math&gt; and &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; chords of the planar dodecagon do not occur in the 24-cell, which is a construct of eight skew dodecagons with disjoint sets of twelve &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt; edges each. In the skew dodecagons the chord lengths are:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{1},r_3=\sqrt{2},r_4=\sqrt{3},r_5=\sqrt{3},r_6=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;

Where chords are the same length, they are distinct only in the context of a rotation.

[[File:dodecagon24cell.png|thumb|Orthogonal projection of half a 24-cell to the [[24-cell#Geodesics|F&lt;sub&gt;4&lt;/sub&gt; Coxeter plane]]. Only one Petrie dodecagon {12} of the 24-cell is shown. In a unit-radius 24-cell, all black lines are 24-cell edges of unit length, also tesseract edges. The two disjoint hexagons lie in Clifford parallel central planes. Blue chords are &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; 16-cell edges, also isocline chords in square rotations. Green chords are &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; distances between corresponding vertices of two 16-cells, also isocline chords in hexagon rotations. The green {12/5} dodecagram is a Clifford polygon.]]
[[File:Regular_star_figure_3(8,3).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/9}=3{8/3} &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;]]
We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in Clifford parallel invariant planes containing 16-cell edges, for example in the characteristic rotation of the 16-cell, with the same effect on all three 16-cells. In 720° each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, but it does not visit the vertex positions of the other 16-cells. The rotational curve over each 90° &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; chord makes three 45° turns. Three Clifford parallel {8/3} octagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; chords form a circular triple helix {24/9}=3{8/3} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once.

We can also rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in Clifford parallel invariant planes containing 24-cell edges. A complete 24-cell great circle edge plane revolution requires 720° like a complete 16-cell great circle edge plane revolution, but it is completed in 12 isoclinic displacements of 60° each rather than 8 isoclinic displacements of 90° each.  An isoclinic rotation by 60° in any invariant central plane containing a 24-cell edge takes every great hexagon to a Clifford parallel great hexagon in a twisting displacement, as all the central planes tilt sideways 60° while rotating 60° internally. It also takes every great square to a Clifford parallel great square. All 24 vertices move at once on Clifford parallel geodesic isoclines, displaced 120° in different directions. The trajectory of each vertex over each 60° rotational displacement is a one-twelfth segment of its geodesic orbit, and its entire orbit traces an isocline circle in 4-space over &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chords. There are two distinct ways we can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in invariant planes containing 24-cell edges, called the ''characteristic left rotation'' and the ''characteristic right rotation'', respectively.

[[File:Regular star figure 2(12,5).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/10}=2{12/5} shows 2 dodecagram isoclines of &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; chords in the 24-cell]]
We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in 12 Clifford parallel invariant planes containing two &lt;math&gt;r_{1}&lt;/math&gt; edges each, over &lt;math&gt;r_{5}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. This is the ''characteristic left rotation of the 24-cell'', also Fontaine and Hurley's counterclockwise rotation over the &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; 2{12/5} star polygon which constructs &lt;math&gt;1/r_5&lt;/math&gt;. The rotational curve over each 120° &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; chord makes five 30° turns. Two Clifford parallel {12/5} dodecagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;10\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular double helix {24/10}=2{12/5} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once. The orbit of each vertex traces an isocline circle in 4-space over 12 &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane 5 times in a moving invariant rotation plane. In the course of a 720° revolution each vertex departs from 12 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 24-cell returns to its original orientation. 

[[File:Regular_star_figure_8(3,1).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/8}=8{3}&lt;small&gt; &lt;/small&gt;shows 8 of 32&lt;small&gt; &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; triangles in the 24-cell]]
We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in 4 Clifford parallel invariant great hexagon planes containing six &lt;math&gt;r_{2}&lt;/math&gt; edges each, over &lt;math&gt;r_{4}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. This is the ''characteristic right rotation of the 24-cell'', also Fontaine and Hurley's counterclockwise rotation over the &lt;math&gt;r_4&lt;/math&gt; 8{3} star polygon which constructs &lt;math&gt;1/r_4&lt;/math&gt;. The rotational curve over each 120° &lt;math&gt;r_4&lt;/math&gt; chord makes four 30° turns.  Eight Clifford parallel triangle geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;2\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;r_4&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular fibration of 8 twisted parallel strands {24/8}=8{3} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once. In three successive 60° isoclinic displacements each vertex circles a triangle and returns to its original position, but the 24-cell returns to its original orientation only after each vertex has completed circuits of the four distinct triangles which intersect at the vertex. The isocline curves over a self-intersecting dodecagram of 12 &lt;math&gt;r_4&lt;/math&gt; chords.

By examining the chords &lt;math&gt;r_i&lt;/math&gt; of the 24-cell's Petrie {12}-gon we found three distinct isoclinic rotations. If we examine the chords &lt;math&gt;t_i&lt;/math&gt; of the 24-cell's {24}-gon we find these and also three other distinct isoclinic rotations.  

Each row of the table is a distinct isoclinic rotation of the 24-cell characterized by a pair of chords that sum to 180°. The edge chords form the rotation's edge {24}-gon, and lie in invariant planes of the rotation. The isocline chords form the rotation's Clifford {24}-gon and lie in the invariant planes completely orthogonal to the edge planes. The rotational angle between successive edge chords and the rotational angle between successive isocline chords also sum to 180°.  

We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in Clifford parallel invariant planes containing 16-cell edges in 6 Clifford parallel invariant great square planes containing four &lt;math&gt;t_{6}&lt;/math&gt; edges each, over &lt;math&gt;t_{6}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. The &lt;math&gt;t_6&lt;/math&gt; chord is the 16-cell-&lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chord. The edge polygon and the Clifford polygon are both {24/6}=6{4}. This is the ''characteristic right rotation of the 24-cell''.  

The rotational curve over each 90° &lt;math&gt;t_6&lt;/math&gt; chord makes six 15° turns.  Six Clifford parallel skew triangle geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;2\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;t_6&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular fibration of six twisted parallel strands that intersects each 24-cell vertex once. &lt;s&gt;In every 360° of isoclinic rotation each vertex circles a skew great square and returns to its original position, but the 24-cell returns to its original orientation only after each vertex has completed circuits of the three distinct skew squares which intersect at the vertex and the three distinct skew squares which intersect at its antipodal vertex. The isocline curves over a self-intersecting {24}-gon of &lt;math&gt;t_6&lt;/math&gt; chords.&lt;/s&gt;

== The 600-cell ==
[[Image:600-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 120-point 600-cell &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{3,3,5\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; performing a simple rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2011}} The 3-dimensional surface made of 600 tetrahedra is visible. Invisible in this rendering are 25 inscribed instances of the 24-cell (above), which occur in the 600-cell as interior boundary envelopes.]]
The [[600-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{3,3,5\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;. It has 120 vertices, 720 edges, 1200 equilateral triangle faces, and 600 tetrahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the icosahedron.

The 600-cell rounds out the 24-cell by adding 96 more vertices (four more disjoint 24-cells) between the 24-cell's existing 24 vertices, in effect adding twenty-four more distinct 24-cells inscribed in the 600-cell. The new surface thus formed is a honeycomb of smaller, more numerous cells: tetrahedra of edge length &lt;math&gt;\phi^{-1} \approx 0.618&lt;/math&gt; instead of octahedra of edge length &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt;. It encloses the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt; edges of the 24-cells, which become invisible interior chords in the 600-cell, like the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; and &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chords.

Since the tetrahedra are made of shorter triangle edges than the octahedra (by a factor of &lt;math&gt;\phi^{-1}&lt;/math&gt;, the inverse golden ratio), the 600-cell is not radially equilateral like the 24-cell and the tesseract. Like them it is radially triangular in a special way, but one in which [[w:Golden_triangle_(mathematics)|golden triangles]] rather than equilateral triangles meet at the center.

In 2-space we have the ''radially golden'' [[W:Decagon#The golden ratio in decagon|regular decagon]]. In 3-space we have the radially golden 30-point [[W:icosidodecahedron|icosidodecahedron]], with 6 decagon central planes. In 4-space we have the radially golden 120-point 600-cell, with 60 icosidodecahedron central hyperplanes and 72 decagon central planes.

The 600-cell's Petrie polygon is the regular [[w:Triacontagon|triacontagon {30}]]. The unit-radius planar {30}-gon has these distinct chords:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=2 \sin (\tfrac{\pi}{15}/2) \approx 0.209&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_2=2 \sin (\tfrac{2\pi}{15}/2) \approx 0.416&lt;/math&gt;

:&lt;math&gt;r_6=2 \sin (\tfrac{2\pi}{5}/2)=\sqrt{3-\phi} \approx 1.176&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_7=2 \sin (\tfrac{7\pi}{15}/2) \approx 1.338&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_8=2 \cos (\tfrac{7\pi}{15}/2) \approx 1.486&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_9=2 \sin (\tfrac{3\pi}{5}/2)=\phi \approx 1.618&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{10}=2 \sin (\tfrac{2\pi}{3}/2)=\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{11}=2 \cos (\tfrac{4\pi}{15}/2) \approx 1.827&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{12}=2 \sin (\tfrac{4\pi}{5}/2)=\sqrt{2+\phi} \approx 1.902&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{13}=2 \cos (\tfrac{2\pi}{15}/2) \approx 1.956&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{14}=2 \cos (\tfrac{\pi}{15}/2) \approx 1.989&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{15}=2 \sin (\pi/2)=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;

Only the chord lengths &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_6&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_9&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_{10}&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_{12}&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_{15}&lt;/math&gt; occur in the 600-cell, which is a construct of 24 Petrie {30}-gons of edge length &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt;, six of which intersect in each icosahedral vertex figure. In the skew {30}-gons the chord lengths are:

:&lt;math&gt;r_{15}=2 \sin (\pi/2)=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;

Where chords are the same length, they are distinct only in the context of a rotation.

The list of 600-cell chords &lt;math&gt;r_{i}&lt;/math&gt; can be rearranged into a table of 8 rows and 2 columns with a pair of 180° complements in each row. The short chord and long chord each have their characteristic {30/n}-gon. Each row identifies a discrete isoclinic rotation of the 600-cell in invariant central planes containing the edges of the short chord {30}-gon, over the isocline chords of the long chord {30}-gon, the rotation's Clifford polygon.

Each distinct pair of complementary chord lengths is identified with a distinct [[w:600-cell#Polyhedral sections|polyhedral section of the 600-cell]] beginning with a vertex. In spherical [[w:3-sphere|3-dimensional space &lt;math&gt;\mathbb{S}^3&lt;/math&gt;]], every vertex is the center of a set of 7 concentric polyhedra of increasing radii that nest like [[w:Matryoshka_doll|Russian dolls.]] The smallest polyhedral section at radial distance &lt;math&gt;\phi^{-1}&lt;/math&gt; is a icosahedron vertex figure, and the largest section at radial distance &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; is an [[W:Icosidodecahedron|icosidodecahedron]] central section bisecting the 600-cell. Because  [[w:3-sphere|&lt;math&gt;\mathbb{S}^3&lt;/math&gt;]] is spherical, at radial distances greater than &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; the successive complement-radius polyhedra decrease in size, to the antipodal icosahedron vertex figure at distance &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2+\phi}&lt;/math&gt;. In Euclidean 4-dimensional space &lt;math&gt;\mathbb{R}^4&lt;/math&gt;, every vertex is the apex of 7 [[w:Hyperpyramid|polyhedral pyramids]], where the pyramid's lateral edge length is the radial distance and its base polyhedron is the section. Each section lies parallel to a congruent complement-radius section (or coincident with it, in the case of the central section).

[[File:Regular_star_figure_3(8,3).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/9}=3{8/3} &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;]]
We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in the great square rotation characteristic of the 16-cell,  with the same effect on 15 disjoint 16-cells. Each 90° displacement takes 15 pairs of completely orthogonal invariant great square planes to each other. In the course of a 720° revolution each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, without visiting other vertex positions. The rotational curve over each 90° chord makes three 45° turns. Fifteen Clifford parallel {8/3} octagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular fibration of 15 twisted parallel strands 5{24/9}=15{8/3} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.

The 600-cell has another distinct isoclinic rotation in invariant great square planes, which has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. This [''great square left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell]'' takes place over &lt;math&gt;r_7&lt;/math&gt; edge chords and &lt;math&gt;r_8&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. The {30/7} edge polygon is a skew helix of circumference &lt;math&gt;14\pi&lt;/math&gt; with each &lt;math&gt;r_7&lt;/math&gt; edge belonging to a distinct great square. The four {30/7} polygrams contribute one edge each to 30 great squares. Each 90° displacement takes every 16-cell to another 16-cell. The vertices of the invariant great squares each make seven orbits on a great circle within the moving invariant plane in the course of one complete revolution. The rotational curve over each 90° {30/7} edge makes seven 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/7} geodesics of circumference &lt;math&gt;16\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. The {30/8}=2{15/4} Clifford polygon is a compound of two skew {15/4} pentadecagrams of circumference &lt;math&gt;16\pi&lt;/math&gt; with each &lt;math&gt;r_8&lt;/math&gt; isocline chord belonging to a distinct 16-cell. The four {30/8} polygrams contribute one edge each to 30 great squares. The rotational curve over each 90° {30/8} isocline chord makes eight 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/8} geodesics of circumference &lt;math&gt;16\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.

[[File:Regular star figure 2(12,5).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/10}=2{12/5} &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; ]]
We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in the great hexagon rotation characteristic of the 24-cell, over &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt; edge chords and &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords, with the same effect on 5 disjoint 24-cells. In the course of a 720° revolution each vertex departs from 12 vertex positions of its 24-cell just once and returns to its original position, without visiting other vertex positions. Ten Clifford parallel {12/5} dodecagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;10\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular fibration of ten twisted parallel strands 5{24/10}=10{12/5} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. 

The 600-cell has another distinct isoclinic rotation in invariant great hexagon planes, over &lt;math&gt;r_{4}=\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt; edge chords and &lt;math&gt;r_{11}=\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords This [''invariant great hexagon left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell]'' has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. Its {30/11} Clifford polygon is a skew helix where each &lt;math&gt;r_{11}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chord is the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; diagonal of a great hexagon of a distinct 24-cell. The vertices of the invariant great hexagons of this rotation each make eleven orbits on a great circle within the moving invariant plane in the course of one complete revolution. The rotational curve over each 120° &lt;math&gt;r_{11}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chord makes eleven 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/11} geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;22\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;r_{11}&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. 

We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in 12 Clifford parallel invariant decagon central planes containing its 36° &lt;math&gt;r_{3}&lt;/math&gt; edges, over 144° &lt;math&gt;r_{12}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. This ''invariant great decagon rotation characteristic of the 600-cell'' has period 5 and takes disjoint 24-cells to each other. The rotational curve over each &lt;math&gt;r_{12}&lt;/math&gt; chord of its {5/2} Clifford polygon makes twelve 12° turns. 24 Clifford parallel {5/2} pentagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;4\pi&lt;/math&gt; over five &lt;math&gt;r_{12}&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular fibration of 24 twisted parallel strands 4{30/12}=24{5/2} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. 

The rotation of the 600-cell by 36° in any invariant decagon central plane takes every great decagon to a Clifford parallel great decagon in a twisting displacement, as all the central planes tilt sideways 36° while rotating 36° internally. It also takes every great hexagon to a Clifford parallel great hexagon, and every great square to a Clifford parallel great square. The 24-cells revolve within the 600-cell, as the 16-cells revolve within the 24-cells. All 120 vertices move at once on four Clifford parallel geodesic isoclines, displaced 144° in different directions.

The 600-cell has another distinct isoclinic rotation in invariant great decagon planes containing its 36° &lt;math&gt;r_{2}&lt;/math&gt; edges, over 144° &lt;math&gt;r_{13}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. This [''great decagon left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell]'' has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. The rotational curve over each 144° &lt;math&gt;r_{13}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chord makes thirteen 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/13} geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;26\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.

The [[User:Dc.samizdat/Golden chords of the 120-cell#Thirty distinguished distances|list of thirty 120-cell chords]] &lt;math&gt;c_{t}&lt;/math&gt; can be rearranged into a table of 16 rows and 2 columns with a pair of 180° complements in each row. This table first appears in [[w:Regular_Polytopes_(book)|''Regular Polytopes'']] (1947),{{Sfn|Coxeter|1973|loc=Table V(v): Simplified sections of {5,3,3} beginning with a vertex|pp=300-301}} where Coxeter identified each row with a distinct [[w:120-cell#Concentric_hulls|polyhedral section of the 120-cell]] beginning with a vertex. In spherical [[w:3-sphere|3-dimensional space &lt;math&gt;\mathbb{S}^3&lt;/math&gt;]], every vertex is the center of a set of 29 concentric polyhedra of increasing radii that nest like [[w:Matryoshka_doll|Russian dolls.]] The smallest polyhedral section at radial distance &lt;math&gt;c_1&lt;/math&gt; is a tetrahedron vertex figure, and the largest section at radial distance &lt;math&gt;c_{15}&lt;/math&gt; is a central section bisecting the 120-cell. Because  [[w:3-sphere|&lt;math&gt;\mathbb{S}^3&lt;/math&gt;]] is spherical, at radial distances greater than &lt;math&gt;c_{15}&lt;/math&gt; the successive complement-radius polyhedra decrease in size, to the antipodal tetrahedron vertex figure at distance &lt;math&gt;c_{29}&lt;/math&gt;. In Euclidean 4-dimensional space &lt;math&gt;\mathbb{R}^4&lt;/math&gt;, every vertex is the apex of 29 [[w:Hyperpyramid|polyhedral pyramids]], where the pyramid's lateral edge length is the radial distance and its base polyhedron is the section. Each section lies parallel to a congruent complement-radius section (or coincident with it, in the case of the central section). Each section also lies completely orthogonal to a congruent section. 

Only 8 of the 30 chords in the table occur in the 600-cell and the planar {30)-gon. The 120-cell's additional chords arise originally from the regular 5-cell, in its interaction with the other regular 4-polytopes that compound to make the 120-cell. Since all those polytopes except the 5-cell occur in the 600-cell, and the 600-cell and the 120-cell have the same symmetry group, the 5-cell's symmetry group is what's new in the 120-cell.

== Finally the 120-cell ==
The [[120-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{5,3,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;. It has 600 vertices, 1200 edges, 720 pentagon faces, and 120 dodecahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the dodecahedron.

The 120-cell is the [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]] of the 600-cell. They have the same Petrie polygon, the regular skew triacontagon {30}, but the 120-cell is a construct of 40 Petrie {30}-gons of edge length &lt;math&gt;c_1&lt;/math&gt;, two of which intersect in each tetrahedral vertex figure.

== Conclusions ==

Fontaine and Hurley's discovery is more than a geometric formula for the reciprocal of a regular ''n''-polygon diagonal. It also yields the discrete sequence of isocline chords of the characteristic isoclinic rotation of a ''d''-dimensional polytope in its invariant edge planes. The characteristic rotational chord sequence of the ''d''-polytope can be represented geometrically in two dimensions on a distinct star polygon, but it lies on a geodesic circle through ''d''-dimensional space. Fontaine and Hurley discovered the geodesic topology of polytopes generally. Their procedure will reveal the geodesics of arbitrary non-uniform polytopes, since it can be applied to a polytope of any dimensionality and irregularity, by first fitting the polytope to the smallest regular polygon whose chords include its chords. [If what is meant by this is its Petrie polygon, it is not quite necessary or possible with respect to the planar polygon chords, e.g. the planar Petrie polygon of the 600-cell does not contain the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; chord. But perhaps it would work if the fit is to the smallest regular skew polygon in the ''d''-space.]

The discovery of a chordal construction for discrete isoclinic rotations generally closes the circuit on Kappraff and Adamson's discovery of a rotational connection between dynamical systems, Steinbach's golden fields, and Coxeter's Euclidean geometry of ''n'' dimensions. Application of the Fontaine and Hurley procedure in the 120-cell demonstrates why the connection exists: because polytope sequences generally, from Steinbach's golden chord sequences in polygons, to sequences of star polygons in isoclinic rotations, to subsumption relations in the sequence of regular 4-polytopes, arise as expressions of the reflections and rotations of distinct Coxeter symmetry groups, when those various groups interact.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Steinbach discovered the formula for the ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. Fontaine and Hurley extended this result, discovering a formula for the reciprocal of a regular polygon chord derived geometrically from the chord's star polygon. We observe that these findings in plane geometry apply more generally, to polytopes of any dimensionality. Fontaine and Hurley's geometric procedure for finding the reciprocals of the chords of a regular polygon from their star polygons also finds the rotational geodesics of any polytope of any dimensionality.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
== Introduction ==
Steinbach discovered the Diagonal Product Formula and the Golden Fields family of ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. He showed how this family extends beyond the pentagon {5} with its well-known golden bisection proportional to 𝜙, finding that the heptagon {7} has an analogous trisection, the nonagon {9} has an analogous quadrasection, and the hendecagon {11} has an analogous pentasection, an extended family of golden proportions with quasiperiodic properties. 

Kappraff and Adamson extended these findings in plane geometry to a theory of Generalized Fibonacci Sequences, showing that the Golden Fields not only do not end with the hendecagon, they form an infinite number of periodic trajectories when operated on by the Mandelbrot operator. They found a relation between the edges of star polygons and dynamical systems in the state of chaos, revealing a connection between chaos theory, number, and rotations in Coxeter Euclidean geometry. 

Fontaine and Hurley examined Steinbach's finding that the length of each chord of a regular polygon is both the product of two chords and the sum of a set of smaller chords, so that in rotations to add is to multiply. They illustrated Steinbach's sets of additive chords lying parallel to each other in the plane (pointing in the same direction), and by applying Steinbach's formula more generally they found another summation relation of signed parallel chords (pointing in opposite directions) which relates each chord length to its reciprocal, and relates the summation to a distinct star polygon rotation. 

We examine these remarkable findings (which stem from study of the chords of humble regular polygons) in higher-dimensional spaces, specifically in the chords, polygons and rotations of the [[120-cell]], the largest four-dimensional regular convex polytope.

The complex interior parts of the 120-cell, all its inscribed 5-cells, 16-cells, 8-cells, 24-cells, 600-cells and its much larger inventory of polyhedra, are completely invisible in this view, as none of their edges are rendered at all.

The projection above also renders only one of the 120-cell's 30 chords, the edges of its 120 inscribed regular 5-cells. The 120-cell itself (the convex hull) is invisible in this view, as its edges are not rendered.

[[120-cell#Geometry|The 120-cell is the maximally complex regular 4-polytope]], containing inscribed instances of every regular 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-polytope, except the regular polygons of more than {15} sides. 

The 120-cell is the convex hull of a regular [[120-cell#Relationships among interior polytopes|compound of each of the 6 regular convex 4-polytopes]]. They are the [[5-cell|5-point (5-cell) 4-simplex]], the [[16-cell|8-point (16-cell) 4-orthoplex]], the [[W:Tesseract|16-point (8-cell) tesseract]], the [[24-cell|24-point (24-cell)]], the [[600-cell|120-point (600-cell)]], and the [[120-cell|600-point (120-cell)]]. The 120-cell is the convex hull of a compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells, of 75 disjoint 16-cells, of 25 disjoint 24-cells, and of 5 disjoint 600-cells.

The 120-cell contains an even larger inventory of irregular polytopes, created by the intersection of multiple instances of these component regular 4-polytopes. Many are quite unexpected, because they do not occur as components of any regular polytope smaller than the 120-cell. As just one example among the [[120-cell#Concentric hulls|sections of the 120-cell]], there is an irregular 24-point polyhedron with 16 triangle faces and 4 nonagon {9} faces.{{Sfn|Moxness|}}

Most renderings of the 120-cell, like the rotating projection here, only illustrate its outer surface, which is a honeycomb of face-bonded dodecahedral cells. Only the objects in its 3-dimensional surface are rendered, namely the 120 dodecahedra, their pentagon faces, and their edges. Although the 120-cell has chords of 30 distinct lengths, in this kind of simplified rendering only the 120-cell's own edges (its shortest chord) are shown. Its 29 interior chords, the edges of objects in the interior of the 120-cell, are not rendered, so interior objects are not visible at all.

Visualizing the complete interior of the 600-vertex 120-cell in a single image is impractical because of its complexity. Only four 120-cell edges are incident at each vertex, but [[120-cell#Chords|600 chords (of all 30 lengths)]] are incident at ''each'' vertex.

== Compounds in the 120-cell ==
The 8-point (16-cell), not the 5-point (5-cell), is the smallest building block; it compounds to every larger regular 4-polytope. The 5-point (5-cell) does compound to the 600-point (120-cell), but it does not fit into any smaller regular 4-polytope. 

The 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 2 in the 16-point (8-cell), and by 3 in the 24-point (24-cell). The 16-point (8-cell) compounds in the 24-point (24-cell) by 3 non-disjoint instances of itself, with each of the 24 vertices shared by two 16-point (8-cells). The 24-point (24-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell), and the 120-point (600-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell).

The 24-point (24-cell) also compounds by 5&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; non-disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell); it compounds in 5 disjoint instances of itself, 10 (not 5) different ways. Whichever set of 5 disjoint 24-point (24-cells) are assembled, the resulting 120-point (600-cell) contains 25 distinct 24-point (24-cells), not just 5 (or 10). This implies that 15 disjoint 8-point (16-cells) will construct a 120-point (600-cell), which will contain 75 distinct 8-point (16-cells). 

The 600-point (120-cell) is 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), just 2 different ways (not 5 or 10 ways), so it is 10 distinct 120-point (600-cells). This implies that the 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 3 times 5&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; (75) disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell), which contains 3&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; times  5&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; (225) distinct instances of the 24-point (24-cell), and  3&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt; times 5&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; (675) distinct instances of the 8-point (16-cell). 

These facts were discovered painstakingly by various researchers, and no one has found a general rule governing subsumption relations among regular polytopes. The reasons for some of their numeric incidence relations are far from obvious. [[W:Pieter Hendrik Schoute|Schoute]] was the first to see that the 120-point (600-cell) is a compound of 5 24-point (24-cells) ''10 different ways'', and after he saw it a hundred years lapsed until Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler &amp; Claiborne proved his result, and showed why.{{Sfn|Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler &amp; Claiborne|2020|loc=''The geometry of H4 polytopes''}}

So much for the compounds of 16-cells. The 120-cell is also the convex hull of the compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells. That stellated compound (without its convex hull of 120-cell edges) is the [[w:Great_grand_stellated_120-cell|great grand stellated 120-cell]] illustrated above, the final regular [[W:Stellation|stellation]] of the 120-cell, and the only [[W:Schläfli-Hess polychoron|regular star 4-polytope]] to have the 120-cell for its convex hull. The edges of the great grand stellated 120-cell are &lt;math&gt;\phi^6&lt;/math&gt; as long as those of its 120-cell [[W:List of polyhedral stellations#Stellation process|stellation core]] deep inside.

The compound of 120 disjoint 5-point (5-cells) can be seen to be equivalent to the compound of 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), as follows. Beginning with a single 120-point (600-cell), expand each vertex into a regular 5-cell, by adding 4 new equidistant vertices, such that the 5 vertices form a regular 5-cell inscribed in the 3-sphere. The 120 5-cells are disjoint, and the 600 vertices form 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells): a 120-cell.

== Thirty distinguished distances ==
The 30 numbers listed in the table are all-important in Euclidean geometry. A case can be made on symmetry grounds that their squares are the 30 most important numbers between 0 and 4. The 30 rows of the table are the 30 distinct [[120-cell#Geodesic rectangles|chord lengths of the unit-radius 120-cell]], the largest regular convex 4-polytope. Since the 120-cell subsumes all smaller regular polytopes, its 30 chords are the complete chord set of all the regular polytopes that can be constructed in the first four dimensions of Euclidean space, except for regular polygons of more than 15 sides.

== The 16-cell 4-orthoplex ==
In 2-space we have the regular 8-point octagon, in 3-space the regular 8-point cube, and in 4-space the regular 8-point [[16-cell]].

A planar octagon with rigid edges of unit length has chords of length:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=1,r_2=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.848,r_3=\sqrt{2}+1 \approx 2.414,r_4=\sqrt{4 + \sqrt{8}} \approx 2.613&lt;/math&gt;

The chord ratio &lt;math&gt;r_3=\sqrt{2}+1&lt;/math&gt; is a geometrical proportion, the [[W:Silver ratio|silver ratio]]. Fontaine and Hurley's procedure for obtaining the reciprocal of a chord tells us that:

:&lt;math&gt;r_3-r_1-r_1=1/r_3 \approx 0.414&lt;/math&gt;

Note that &lt;math&gt;r_3-2=1/r_3=\sqrt{2}-1&lt;/math&gt;. Their procedure rotates counterclockwise over three &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords of an {8/3} octagram. Over the first &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chord the displacement is &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}+1&lt;/math&gt;. Over the second &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chord it moves in the opposite direction a distance of &lt;math&gt;-1&lt;/math&gt; . Over the third &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chord it also moves a distance of &lt;math&gt;-1&lt;/math&gt;. Fontaine and Hurley also demonstrated the significance of &lt;math&gt;1/r_i&lt;/math&gt; in Steinbach's Diagonal Product Formula, which says that every chord length is the sum of certain smaller chord lengths. The smaller chords are certain diagonals of the same regular polygon of smaller edge length, specifically edge length &lt;math&gt;1/r_i&lt;/math&gt; rather than &lt;math&gt;1&lt;/math&gt;.

If we embed the planar octagon in 3-space, we can make it skew, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from three others instead of two others, at the vertices of a unit-edge cube with chords of length:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=1, r_2=\sqrt{2}, r_3=\sqrt{3}, r_4=\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;

If we embed this cube in 4-space, we can skew it some more, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from six others instead of three others, at the vertices of a unit-edge 4-polytope with chords of length:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=1,r_2=1,r_3=1,r_4=\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;

All of its chords except its long diameters are the same unit length as its edge. In fact they are its 24 edges, and it is a 16-cell of radius &lt;math&gt;1/\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;.

[[File:octagon16cell.png|thumb|Orthogonal projection of a regular 16-cell to the [[16-cell#Projections|B&lt;sub&gt;4&lt;/sub&gt; Coxeter plane]]. Only its edges are shown; its long diameter chords are not drawn. All 24 edges are the same length and none lie parallel to the projection plane. The octagon circumference is a Petrie polygon. The two disjoint squares lie in completely orthogonal central planes. The blue octagram is a Clifford polygon. ]]

The [[16-cell]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{3,3,4\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;. It has 8 vertices, 24 edges, 32 equilateral triangle faces, and 16 regular tetrahedron cells. It is the [[16-cell#Octahedral dipyramid|four-dimensional analogue of the octahedron]], and each of its four orthogonal central hyperplanes is an octahedron.

The only planar regular polygons found in the 16-cell are face triangles and central plane squares, but the 16-cell also contains a skew regular octagon, its [[W:Petrie polygon|Petrie polygon]].{{Efn|name=Petrie polygon of a honeycomb}} The chords of this regular octagon, which lies skew in 4-space, are those given above for the 16-cell, as opposed to those for the cube or the regular octagon in the plane. The 16-cell is a construct of 3 Petrie octagons which share the same 8 vertices but have disjoint sets of 8 edges each.

The regular octad has higher symmetry in 4-space than it does in 2-space. The 16-cell is the 4-[[w:Cross-polytope|orthoplex]], the simplest regular 4-polytope after the [[5-cell|4-simplex]]. All the larger regular convex 4-polytopes are compounds of the 16-cell. The regular octagon exhibits this high symmetry only when embedded in 4-space at the vertices of the 16-cell.

The 16-cell constitutes an [[W:Orthonormal basis|orthonormal basis]] for the choice of a 4-dimensional Cartesian reference frame, because its vertices define four orthogonal axes. The eight vertices of a unit-radius 16-cell are (±1, 0, 0, 0), (0, ±1, 0, 0), (0, 0, ±1, 0), (0, 0, 0, ±1). All vertices are connected by &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; edges except opposite pairs. 

The vertex coordinates of the 16-cell form 6 central squares lying in 6 pairwise [[W:Orthogonal|orthogonal]] coordinate planes. Great squares in opposite planes that do not share an axis (e.g. in the ''xy'' and ''wz'' planes) are completely disjoint (they do not intersect at any vertices). These planes are [[W:Completely orthogonal|completely orthogonal]].{{Efn|name=Six orthogonal planes of the Cartesian basis}}

Since the unit-radius coordinate system is convenient, let us derive the unit-radius 16-cell by skewing a unit-radius planar octagon, which has chords of length:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.765,r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.848,r_4=2&lt;/math&gt;

We will need a planar octagon with rigid &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chords, rather than one with rigid &lt;math&gt;r_1&lt;/math&gt; edges. The octagon's &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chords form two disjoint great squares, visible in the orthogonal projection, which we can reposition in 3-space to form a cube by making them parallel, and in 4-space to form a 16-cell by making them completely orthogonal.

Each chord is a distinct 4-vector with a length and a direction. Since the edges of the 16-cell are all the same length &lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{2},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;, those chords are distinct only in the context of a rotation, where vertices circle over the chords of an &lt;math&gt;r_i&lt;/math&gt; polygon. The rotational curve over each &lt;math&gt;r_i&lt;/math&gt; chord makes &lt;math&gt;i&lt;/math&gt; 45° turns. The angle between two &lt;math&gt;r_i&lt;/math&gt; chords is &lt;math&gt;i \times 45^\circ&lt;/math&gt;.

[[File:16-cell-orig.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 8-point 16-cell &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{3,3,4\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; performing a double rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}}]]
[[W:Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space|Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space]] can be seen as the composition of two 2-dimensional rotations in completely orthogonal planes. The general rotation in 4-space is a [[W:SO(4)#Double rotations|double rotation]] in pairs of completely orthogonal planes. Two completely orthogonal planes are called invariant planes of the rotation when all points in the plane rotate on circles that remain in the plane, even as the whole plane tilts sideways (like a coin flipping) into another plane. The two completely orthogonal rotations of each plane (like a wheel, and like a coin flipping) are simultaneous but independent, in that they are not geometrically constrained to turn at the same rate. However, the most circular kind of rotation (as opposed to an elliptical double rotation of a rigid spherical object) occurs when the completely orthogonal planes do rotate through the same angle in the same time interval. Such equi-angled double rotations are called [[w:SO(4)#Isoclinic_rotations|isoclinic]], also [[w:William_Kingdon_Clifford|Clifford]] displacements.

The &lt;math&gt;r_1&lt;/math&gt; chords of the 16-cell form a Petrie polygon {8/1} which zig-zags back and forth, in the left and right rotational directions, between two completely orthogonal great squares formed by &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chords.

The &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chords  form the ''edge polygon'' of the 16-cell {8/2}=2{4}. The two completely orthogonal great squares lie parallel and perpendicular to each other. A ''simple'' rotation of the 16-cell in ''one'' of those two square central planes rotates that square like a wheel, while the other square does not move.{{Efn|name=simple rotations}} The four vertices of the rotating square orbit on a great circle in the plane.

The &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords of the 16-cell form a circular helix, visible as a blue {8/3} octagram in the orthogonal projection. A ''double'' rotation of the 16-cell, in both of two completely orthogonal invariant &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; square planes at once by equal angles, moves the eight vertices along the circular helix over &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords. The vertex motion is a [[w:Geodesic|geodesic]] circle orbit on the 3-sphere of a special kind: it does not lie in a central plane, its [[w:Winding_number|winding number]] is not 1 (it is 3 in this case), its circumference is not &lt;math&gt;2\pi&lt;/math&gt; (it is &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; in this case), and it moves in either a left or right handed circular spiral. We shall refer to such a chiral circle orbit as an ''isocline'', and to the skew polygram of its rotational chords as a ''Clifford polygon''.

The 16-cell is the simplest possible frame in which to [[16-cell#Rotations|observe 4-dimensional rotations]] because its characteristic rotations feature a single pair of invariant rotation planes. In the 16-cell an isoclinic rotation by 90° in any pair of invariant completely orthogonal square central planes takes every great square to its completely orthogonal great square in a twisting displacement, as the invariant planes tilt sideways 90° into each other's plane while rotating 90° internally. All the vertices move at once along the same circular helix geodesic isocline of &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords, displaced 90° in 8 orthogonal directions, and the rigid 16-cell assumes a new orientation in 4-space. When the 90° isoclinic rotation is continued in the same rotational direction through an additional 90°, each vertex is again displaced 90°, but from the new orientation in a direction orthogonal to its first 90° displacement. The rotational curve over each 90° &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chord makes three 45° turns. In 360° of isoclinic rotation over four &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords, each vertex makes six 90° turns and reaches its antipodal position.

The trajectory of each vertex over each 90° isoclinic rotational displacement is a one-eighth segment of its geodesic orbit. Its entire orbit traces an isocline circle in 4-space of circumference &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; over eight &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane twice, over the four &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; edges of a great square in one of the two moving invariant rotation planes. In the course of a 720° isoclinic revolution each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 16-cell returns to its original orientation.

We shall refer to this isoclinic rotation as the ''characteristic rotation of the 16-cell'', and note once again that it is Fontaine and Hurley's counterclockwise rotation over the &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; {8/3} star polygon, which constructs &lt;math&gt;1/r_3&lt;/math&gt;.

== The 8-cell tesseract ==
The long diameter of the unit-edge [[W:Hypercube|hypercube]] of dimension &lt;math&gt;n&lt;/math&gt; is &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{n}&lt;/math&gt;, so the unit-edge [[w:Tesseract|4-hypercube, the 16-point (8-cell) tesseract,]] has chords:
:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;
Uniquely in its 4-dimensional case, the hypercube's edge length equals its radius, like the hexagon. We call such polytopes ''radially equilateral'', because they can be constructed from equilateral triangles which meet at their center, each contributing two radii and an edge. The [[w:Cuboctahedron|cuboctahedron]] and the 24-cell are also radially equilateral.

[[File:8-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 16-point (8-cell) tesseract &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{4,3,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; performing a simple rotation about a plane in 4-space.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}} The stationary plane bisects the figure from front-left to back-right and top to bottom.]]
The [[W:Tesseract|tesseract]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{4,3,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;. It has 16 vertices, 32 edges, 24 square faces, and 8 cube cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the cube.

The 16-point tesseract is the convex hull of a compound of two 8-point 16-cells, in exact dimensional analogy to the way the 8-point cube is the convex hull of a [[W:Stellated octahedron|compound of two 4-point regular tetrahedra]]. The [[W:Demihypercube|demihypercubes]] occupy alternate vertices of the hypercubes. The diagonals of the square faces of the unit-edge, unit-radius tesseract are the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; edges of two unit-radius 16-cells, also the edges of the square central planes.

We can rotate the tesseract isoclinically the way we rotated the 16-cell, by 90° in the characteristic rotation of the 16-cell, with the same effect on both alternate-position 16-cells. In the course of a 720° revolution each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, but it does not visit the vertex positions of the other 16-cell. The two skew {8/3} octagram Clifford polygons lie on two disjoint parallel isoclines of the same chirality, of circumference &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; chords. They form a circular double helix which intersects each vertex of the tesseract once. The helix is an 8-rung ladder twisted 3 times, bent into a circle in the fourth dimension. Each rung is a tesseract edge.

The tesseract is the [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]] of the 16-cell. They have the same Petrie polygon, the regular skew octagon, but the tesseract is a construct of 4 Petrie octagons with disjoint sets of 8 tesseract edges each. We can construct the tesseract by skewing two planar octagons. Because the tesseract is radially equilateral (unlike the 16-cell), we use two octagons of unit-edge length to build the unit-radius tesseract. To start we embed the planar octagons in 4-space at the same point and make them completely orthogonal. Then we skew each planar octagon into a cube, so we have a compound of two completely orthogonal cubes, provided we skewed them both in the same direction. The 16 vertices will be the vertices of a tesseract with half its 32 edges missing.

Because the tesseract contains two 16-cells in alternate positions it has two sets of 6 orthogonal square central planes. Two angles are required to specify the relationship between two planes in 4-space. Pairs of square central planes within each 16-cell are 90° apart in one angle, and either 0° or 90° apart in the other angle. They are 90° apart in both angles if and only if they are completely orthogonal planes, 90° apart by isoclinic rotation, with no vertices in common. Otherwise they are 0° apart in one of the angles, 90° apart by simple rotation, and they intersect in one axis and lie in a common 3-dimensional hyperplane.{{Efn|A double rotation in which one of the two angles of rotation is 0°, so that one of the completely orthogonal invariant planes does not rotate, is called a simple rotation. Ordinary rotations observed in a 3-dimensional space are simple rotations.|name=simple rotations}}

A pair of square central planes from alternate-position 16-cells are 60° apart by isoclinic rotation, with their corresponding vertices 120° apart. The planes are not orthogonal or parallel, so they intersect in a line somewhere, but they have no vertices in common, they have no 3-dimensional hyperplane in common, and they cannot reach each other by simple rotation. Such pairs of objects are called [[W:Clifford parallel|Clifford parallel]] because all their corresponding pairs of vertices are the same distance apart, although they are not parallel in the usual sense, because they have a common center. Not only the alternate-position 16-cells' corresponding square central planes, but also the 16-cells themselves, are Clifford parallel objects. More generally, multiple disjoint instances of a 4-polytope which compound to make a larger 4-polytope are Clifford parallel objects.

== The 24-cell ==
[[File:24-cell vertex geometry.png|thumb|Planar geometry of the radially equilateral 24-cell, showing its 3 great circle polygons and its 4 chord lengths.]]
In 2-space we have the radially equilateral 6-point hexagon. In 3-space we have the radially equilateral 12-point cuboctahedron, with 4 hexagonal central planes. In 4-space we have the radially equilateral 24-point 24-cell, with 12 cuboctahedron central hyperplanes and 16 hexagonal central planes.

The [[24-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{3,4,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;. It has 24 vertices, 96 edges, 96 equilateral triangle faces, and 24 octahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the cuboctahedron.

The 24-cell has the same chord set as the 4-hypercube tesseract:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;

[[Image:24-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 24-point 24-cell &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{3,4,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; performing a simple rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}} The 3-dimensional surface made of 24 octahedra is visible.]]
The 24-cell is [[W:Dual polytope|self-dual]], like the regular polygons and regular simplexes. It is the maximal regular construct of triangles and squares (with no pentagons). It is the convex hull of a compound of three disjoint 8-point 16-cells, rotated 60° isoclinically with respect to each other. Each of the three pairs of 16-cells is a tesseract. Each 24-cell edge is also a tesseract edge. The corresponding vertices of two 16-cells or two tesseracts are 120° apart by a &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chord. Each tesseract has 8 cube cells, and each cube has four &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; long diameters. The &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chords joining the corresponding vertices of two tesseracts belong to the third tesseract as cell long diameters.

The 24-cell's Petrie polygon is the regular dodecagon {12}, which has chords:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\tfrac{\sqrt{3}-1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.518,r_2=\sqrt{1},r_3=\sqrt{2},r_4=\sqrt{3},r_5=\tfrac{\sqrt{3}+1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.932,r_6=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;

Fontaine and Hurley's procedure for obtaining the reciprocal of a chord tells us that: 

:&lt;math&gt;r_5-r_3+r_1+r_1-r_3=1/r_5&lt;/math&gt;

when &lt;math&gt;r_1=1&lt;/math&gt;. The procedure rotates counterclockwise over five &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; chords of a {12/5} dodecagram. In the system of unit-radius coordinates &lt;math&gt;r_1=1/r_5&lt;/math&gt;.

The &lt;math&gt;r_1&lt;/math&gt; and &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; chords of the planar dodecagon do not occur in the 24-cell, which is a construct of eight skew dodecagons with disjoint sets of twelve &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt; edges each. In the skew dodecagons the chord lengths are:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{1},r_3=\sqrt{2},r_4=\sqrt{3},r_5=\sqrt{3},r_6=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;

Where chords are the same length, they are distinct only in the context of a rotation.

In a unit-radius 24-cell, all black lines are 24-cell edges of unit length, also tesseract edges. The two disjoint hexagons lie in Clifford parallel central planes. Blue chords are &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; 16-cell edges of Clifford parallel great squares, also isocline chords in great square rotations.

The green {12/5} dodecagram is a Clifford polygon.]]
[[File:Regular_star_figure_3(8,3).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/9}=3{8/3} &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;]]
We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in Clifford parallel invariant planes containing 16-cell edges, for example in the characteristic rotation of the 16-cell, with the same effect on all three 16-cells. In 720° each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, but it does not visit the vertex positions of the other 16-cells. The rotational curve over each 90° &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; chord makes three 45° turns. Three Clifford parallel {8/3} octagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; chords form a circular triple helix {24/9}=3{8/3} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once.

We can also rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in Clifford parallel invariant planes containing 24-cell edges. A complete 24-cell great circle edge plane revolution requires 720° like a complete 16-cell great circle edge plane revolution, but it is completed in 12 isoclinic displacements of 60° each rather than 8 isoclinic displacements of 90° each.  An isoclinic rotation by 60° in any invariant central plane containing a 24-cell edge takes every great hexagon to a Clifford parallel great hexagon in a twisting displacement, as all the central planes tilt sideways 60° while rotating 60° internally. It also takes every great square to a Clifford parallel great square. All 24 vertices move at once on Clifford parallel geodesic isoclines, displaced 120° in different directions. The trajectory of each vertex over each 60° rotational displacement is a one-twelfth segment of its geodesic orbit, and its entire orbit traces an isocline circle in 4-space over &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chords. There are two distinct ways we can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in invariant planes containing 24-cell edges, called the ''characteristic left rotation'' and the ''characteristic right rotation'', respectively.

[[File:Regular star figure 2(12,5).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/10}=2{12/5} shows 2 dodecagram isoclines of &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; chords in the 24-cell]]
We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in 12 Clifford parallel invariant planes containing two &lt;math&gt;r_{1}&lt;/math&gt; edges each, over &lt;math&gt;r_{5}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. This is the ''characteristic left rotation of the 24-cell'', also Fontaine and Hurley's counterclockwise rotation over the &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; 2{12/5} star polygon which constructs &lt;math&gt;1/r_5&lt;/math&gt;. The rotational curve over each 120° &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; chord makes five 30° turns. Two Clifford parallel {12/5} dodecagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;10\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular double helix {24/10}=2{12/5} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once. The orbit of each vertex traces an isocline circle in 4-space over 12 &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane 5 times in a moving invariant rotation plane. In the course of a 720° revolution each vertex departs from 12 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 24-cell returns to its original orientation.

We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in 4 Clifford parallel invariant great hexagon planes containing six &lt;math&gt;r_{2}&lt;/math&gt; edges each, over &lt;math&gt;r_{4}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. This is the ''characteristic right rotation of the 24-cell'', also Fontaine and Hurley's counterclockwise rotation over the &lt;math&gt;r_4&lt;/math&gt; 8{3} star polygon which constructs &lt;math&gt;1/r_4&lt;/math&gt;. The rotational curve over each 120° &lt;math&gt;r_4&lt;/math&gt; chord makes four 30° turns.  Eight Clifford parallel triangle geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;2\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;r_4&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular fibration of 8 twisted parallel strands {24/8}=8{3} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once. In three successive 60° isoclinic displacements each vertex circles a triangle and returns to its original position, but the 24-cell returns to its original orientation only after each vertex has completed circuits of the four distinct triangles which intersect at the vertex. The isocline curves over a self-intersecting dodecagram of 12 &lt;math&gt;r_4&lt;/math&gt; chords.

By examining the chords &lt;math&gt;r_i&lt;/math&gt; of the 24-cell's Petrie {12}-gon we found three distinct isoclinic rotations. If we examine the chords &lt;math&gt;t_i&lt;/math&gt; of the 24-cell's {24}-gon we find these and also three other distinct isoclinic rotations.  

Each row of the table is a distinct isoclinic rotation of the 24-cell characterized by a pair of chords that sum to 180°. The edge chords form the rotation's edge {24}-gon, and lie in invariant planes of the rotation. The isocline chords form the rotation's Clifford {24}-gon and lie in the invariant planes completely orthogonal to the edge planes. The rotational angle between successive edge chords and the rotational angle between successive isocline chords also sum to 180°.  

We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in Clifford parallel invariant planes containing 16-cell edges in 6 Clifford parallel invariant great square planes containing four &lt;math&gt;t_{6}&lt;/math&gt; edges each, over &lt;math&gt;t_{6}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. The &lt;math&gt;t_6&lt;/math&gt; chord is the 16-cell-&lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chord. The edge polygon and the Clifford polygon are both {24/6}=6{4}. This is the ''characteristic right rotation of the 24-cell''.  

The rotational curve over each 90° &lt;math&gt;t_6&lt;/math&gt; chord makes six 15° turns.  Six Clifford parallel skew triangle geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;2\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;t_6&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular fibration of six twisted parallel strands that intersects each 24-cell vertex once. &lt;s&gt;In every 360° of isoclinic rotation each vertex circles a skew great square and returns to its original position, but the 24-cell returns to its original orientation only after each vertex has completed circuits of the three distinct skew squares which intersect at the vertex and the three distinct skew squares which intersect at its antipodal vertex. The isocline curves over a self-intersecting {24}-gon of &lt;math&gt;t_6&lt;/math&gt; chords.&lt;/s&gt;

Invisible in this rendering are 25 inscribed instances of the 24-cell (above), which occur in the 600-cell as interior boundary envelopes.]]
The [[600-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{3,3,5\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;. It has 120 vertices, 720 edges, 1200 equilateral triangle faces, and 600 tetrahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the icosahedron.

The 600-cell rounds out the 24-cell by adding 96 more vertices (four more disjoint 24-cells) between the 24-cell's existing 24 vertices, in effect adding twenty-four more distinct 24-cells inscribed in the 600-cell. The new surface thus formed is a honeycomb of smaller, more numerous cells: tetrahedra of edge length &lt;math&gt;\phi^{-1} \approx 0.618&lt;/math&gt; instead of octahedra of edge length &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt;. It encloses the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt; edges of the 24-cells, which become invisible interior chords in the 600-cell, like the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; and &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chords.

Since the tetrahedra are made of shorter triangle edges than the octahedra (by a factor of &lt;math&gt;\phi^{-1}&lt;/math&gt;, the inverse golden ratio), the 600-cell is not radially equilateral like the 24-cell and the tesseract. Like them it is radially triangular in a special way, but one in which [[w:Golden_triangle_(mathematics)|golden triangles]] rather than equilateral triangles meet at the center.

In 2-space we have the ''radially golden'' [[W:Decagon#The golden ratio in decagon|regular decagon]]. In 3-space we have the radially golden 30-point [[W:icosidodecahedron|icosidodecahedron]], with 6 decagon central planes. In 4-space we have the radially golden 120-point 600-cell, with 60 icosidodecahedron central hyperplanes and 72 decagon central planes.

The 600-cell's Petrie polygon is the regular [[w:Triacontagon|triacontagon {30}]]. The unit-radius planar {30}-gon has these distinct chords:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=2 \sin (\tfrac{\pi}{15}/2) \approx 0.209&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_2=2 \sin (\tfrac{2\pi}{15}/2) \approx 0.416&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_3=2 \sin (\tfrac{\pi}{5}/2)=\phi^{-1} \approx 0.618&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_4=2 \sin (\tfrac{4\pi}{15}/2) \approx 0.813&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_5=2 \sin (\tfrac{\pi}{3}/2)=\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_6=2 \sin (\tfrac{2\pi}{5}/2)=\sqrt{3-\phi} \approx 1.176&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_7=2 \sin (\tfrac{7\pi}{15}/2) \approx 1.338&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_8=2 \cos (\tfrac{7\pi}{15}/2) \approx 1.486&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_9=2 \sin (\tfrac{3\pi}{5}/2)=\phi \approx 1.618&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{10}=2 \sin (\tfrac{2\pi}{3}/2)=\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{11}=2 \cos (\tfrac{4\pi}{15}/2) \approx 1.827&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{12}=2 \sin (\tfrac{4\pi}{5}/2)=\sqrt{2+\phi} \approx 1.902&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{13}=2 \cos (\tfrac{2\pi}{15}/2) \approx 1.956&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{14}=2 \cos (\tfrac{\pi}{15}/2) \approx 1.989&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{15}=2 \sin (\pi/2)=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;

Only the chord lengths &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_6&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_9&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_{10}&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_{12}&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_{15}&lt;/math&gt; occur in the 600-cell, which is a construct of 24 Petrie {30}-gons of edge length &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt;, six of which intersect in each icosahedral vertex figure. In the skew {30}-gons the chord lengths are:

Where chords are the same length, they are distinct only in the context of a rotation.

The list of 600-cell chords &lt;math&gt;r_{i}&lt;/math&gt; can be rearranged into a table of 8 rows and 2 columns with a pair of 180° complements in each row. The short chord and long chord each have their characteristic {30/n}-gon. Each row identifies a discrete isoclinic rotation of the 600-cell in invariant central planes containing the edges of the short chord {30}-gon, over the isocline chords of the long chord {30}-gon, the rotation's Clifford polygon.

Each distinct pair of complementary chord lengths is identified with a distinct [[w:600-cell#Polyhedral sections|polyhedral section of the 600-cell]] beginning with a vertex. In spherical [[w:3-sphere|3-dimensional space &lt;math&gt;\mathbb{S}^3&lt;/math&gt;]], every vertex is the center of a set of 7 concentric polyhedra of increasing radii that nest like [[w:Matryoshka_doll|Russian dolls.]] The smallest polyhedral section at radial distance &lt;math&gt;\phi^{-1}&lt;/math&gt; is a icosahedron vertex figure, and the largest section at radial distance &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; is an [[W:Icosidodecahedron|icosidodecahedron]] central section bisecting the 600-cell. Because  [[w:3-sphere|&lt;math&gt;\mathbb{S}^3&lt;/math&gt;]] is spherical, at radial distances greater than &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; the successive complement-radius polyhedra decrease in size, to the antipodal icosahedron vertex figure at distance &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2+\phi}&lt;/math&gt;. In Euclidean 4-dimensional space &lt;math&gt;\mathbb{R}^4&lt;/math&gt;, every vertex is the apex of 7 [[w:Hyperpyramid|polyhedral pyramids]], where the pyramid's lateral edge length is the radial distance and its base polyhedron is the section. Each section lies parallel to a congruent complement-radius section (or coincident with it, in the case of the central section).

[[File:Regular_star_figure_3(8,3).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/9}=3{8/3} &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;]]
We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in the great square rotation characteristic of the 16-cell,  with the same effect on 15 disjoint 16-cells. Each 90° displacement takes 15 pairs of completely orthogonal invariant great square planes to each other. In the course of a 720° revolution each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, without visiting other vertex positions. The rotational curve over each 90° chord makes three 45° turns. Fifteen Clifford parallel {8/3} octagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular fibration of 15 twisted parallel strands 5{24/9}=15{8/3} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.

The 600-cell has another distinct isoclinic rotation in invariant great square planes, which has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. This [''great square left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell]'' takes place over &lt;math&gt;r_7&lt;/math&gt; edge chords and &lt;math&gt;r_8&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. The {30/7} edge polygon is a skew helix of circumference &lt;math&gt;14\pi&lt;/math&gt; with each &lt;math&gt;r_7&lt;/math&gt; edge belonging to a distinct great square. The four {30/7} polygrams contribute one edge each to 30 great squares. Each 90° displacement takes every 16-cell to another 16-cell. The vertices of the invariant great squares each make seven orbits on a great circle within the moving invariant plane in the course of one complete revolution. The rotational curve over each 90° {30/7} edge makes seven 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/7} geodesics of circumference &lt;math&gt;16\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. The {30/8}=2{15/4} Clifford polygon is a compound of two skew {15/4} pentadecagrams of circumference &lt;math&gt;16\pi&lt;/math&gt; with each &lt;math&gt;r_8&lt;/math&gt; isocline chord belonging to a distinct 16-cell. The four {30/8} polygrams contribute one edge each to 30 great squares. The rotational curve over each 90° {30/8} isocline chord makes eight 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/8} geodesics of circumference &lt;math&gt;16\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.

We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in the great hexagon rotation characteristic of the 24-cell, over &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt; edge chords and &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords, with the same effect on 5 disjoint 24-cells. In the course of a 720° revolution each vertex departs from 12 vertex positions of its 24-cell just once and returns to its original position, without visiting other vertex positions. Ten Clifford parallel {12/5} dodecagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;10\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular fibration of ten twisted parallel strands 5{24/10}=10{12/5} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. 

The 600-cell has another distinct isoclinic rotation in invariant great hexagon planes, over &lt;math&gt;r_{4}=\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt; edge chords and &lt;math&gt;r_{11}=\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords This [''invariant great hexagon left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell]'' has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. Its {30/11} Clifford polygon is a skew helix where each &lt;math&gt;r_{11}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chord is the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; diagonal of a great hexagon of a distinct 24-cell. The vertices of the invariant great hexagons of this rotation each make eleven orbits on a great circle within the moving invariant plane in the course of one complete revolution. The rotational curve over each 120° &lt;math&gt;r_{11}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chord makes eleven 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/11} geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;22\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;r_{11}&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. 

We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in 12 Clifford parallel invariant decagon central planes containing its 36° &lt;math&gt;r_{3}&lt;/math&gt; edges, over 144° &lt;math&gt;r_{12}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. This ''invariant great decagon rotation characteristic of the 600-cell'' has period 5 and takes disjoint 24-cells to each other. The rotational curve over each &lt;math&gt;r_{12}&lt;/math&gt; chord of its {5/2} Clifford polygon makes twelve 12° turns. 24 Clifford parallel {5/2} pentagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;4\pi&lt;/math&gt; over five &lt;math&gt;r_{12}&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular fibration of 24 twisted parallel strands 4{30/12}=24{5/2} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. 

The rotation of the 600-cell by 36° in any invariant decagon central plane takes every great decagon to a Clifford parallel great decagon in a twisting displacement, as all the central planes tilt sideways 36° while rotating 36° internally. It also takes every great hexagon to a Clifford parallel great hexagon, and every great square to a Clifford parallel great square. The 24-cells revolve within the 600-cell, as the 16-cells revolve within the 24-cells. All 120 vertices move at once on four Clifford parallel geodesic isoclines, displaced 144° in different directions.

The 600-cell has another distinct isoclinic rotation in invariant great decagon planes containing its 36° &lt;math&gt;r_{2}&lt;/math&gt; edges, over 144° &lt;math&gt;r_{13}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. This [''great decagon left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell]'' has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. The rotational curve over each 144° &lt;math&gt;r_{13}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chord makes thirteen 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/13} geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;26\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.

The [[User:Dc.samizdat/Golden chords of the 120-cell#Thirty distinguished distances|list of thirty 120-cell chords]] &lt;math&gt;c_{t}&lt;/math&gt; can be rearranged into a table of 16 rows and 2 columns with a pair of 180° complements in each row. This table first appears in [[w:Regular_Polytopes_(book)|''Regular Polytopes'']] (1947),{{Sfn|Coxeter|1973|loc=Table V(v): Simplified sections of {5,3,3} beginning with a vertex|pp=300-301}} where Coxeter identified each row with a distinct [[w:120-cell#Concentric_hulls|polyhedral section of the 120-cell]] beginning with a vertex. In spherical [[w:3-sphere|3-dimensional space &lt;math&gt;\mathbb{S}^3&lt;/math&gt;]], every vertex is the center of a set of 29 concentric polyhedra of increasing radii that nest like [[w:Matryoshka_doll|Russian dolls.]] The smallest polyhedral section at radial distance &lt;math&gt;c_1&lt;/math&gt; is a tetrahedron vertex figure, and the largest section at radial distance &lt;math&gt;c_{15}&lt;/math&gt; is a central section bisecting the 120-cell. Because  [[w:3-sphere|&lt;math&gt;\mathbb{S}^3&lt;/math&gt;]] is spherical, at radial distances greater than &lt;math&gt;c_{15}&lt;/math&gt; the successive complement-radius polyhedra decrease in size, to the antipodal tetrahedron vertex figure at distance &lt;math&gt;c_{29}&lt;/math&gt;. In Euclidean 4-dimensional space &lt;math&gt;\mathbb{R}^4&lt;/math&gt;, every vertex is the apex of 29 [[w:Hyperpyramid|polyhedral pyramids]], where the pyramid's lateral edge length is the radial distance and its base polyhedron is the section. Each section lies parallel to a congruent complement-radius section (or coincident with it, in the case of the central section). Each section also lies completely orthogonal to a congruent section. 

Only 8 of the 30 chords in the table occur in the 600-cell and the planar {30)-gon. The 120-cell's additional chords arise originally from the regular 5-cell, in its interaction with the other regular 4-polytopes that compound to make the 120-cell. Since all those polytopes except the 5-cell occur in the 600-cell, and the 600-cell and the 120-cell have the same symmetry group, the 5-cell's symmetry group is what's new in the 120-cell.

== Finally the 120-cell ==
The [[120-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{5,3,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;. It has 600 vertices, 1200 edges, 720 pentagon faces, and 120 dodecahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the dodecahedron.

The 120-cell is the [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]] of the 600-cell. They have the same Petrie polygon, the regular skew triacontagon {30}, but the 120-cell is a construct of 40 Petrie {30}-gons of edge length &lt;math&gt;c_1&lt;/math&gt;, two of which intersect in each tetrahedral vertex figure.

== Conclusions ==

Fontaine and Hurley's discovery is more than a geometric formula for the reciprocal of a regular ''n''-polygon diagonal. It also yields the discrete sequence of isocline chords of the characteristic isoclinic rotation of a ''d''-dimensional polytope in its invariant edge planes. The characteristic rotational chord sequence of the ''d''-polytope can be represented geometrically in two dimensions on a distinct star polygon, but it lies on a geodesic circle through ''d''-dimensional space. Fontaine and Hurley discovered the geodesic topology of polytopes generally. Their procedure will reveal the geodesics of arbitrary non-uniform polytopes, since it can be applied to a polytope of any dimensionality and irregularity, by first fitting the polytope to the smallest regular polygon whose chords include its chords. [If what is meant by this is its Petrie polygon, it is not quite necessary or possible with respect to the planar polygon chords, e.g. the planar Petrie polygon of the 600-cell does not contain the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; chord. But perhaps it would work if the fit is to the smallest regular skew polygon in the ''d''-space.]

The discovery of a chordal construction for discrete isoclinic rotations generally closes the circuit on Kappraff and Adamson's discovery of a rotational connection between dynamical systems, Steinbach's golden fields, and Coxeter's Euclidean geometry of ''n'' dimensions. Application of the Fontaine and Hurley procedure in the 120-cell demonstrates why the connection exists: because polytope sequences generally, from Steinbach's golden chord sequences in polygons, to sequences of star polygons in isoclinic rotations, to subsumption relations in the sequence of regular 4-polytopes, arise as expressions of the reflections and rotations of distinct Coxeter symmetry groups, when those various groups interact.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Steinbach discovered the formula for the ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. Fontaine and Hurley extended this result, discovering a formula for the reciprocal of a regular polygon chord derived geometrically from the chord's star polygon. We observe that these findings in plane geometry apply more generally, to polytopes of any dimensionality. Fontaine and Hurley's geometric procedure for finding the reciprocals of the chords of a regular polygon from their star polygons also finds the rotational geodesics of any polytope of any dimensionality.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
== Introduction ==
Steinbach discovered the Diagonal Product Formula and the Golden Fields family of ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. He showed how this family extends beyond the pentagon {5} with its well-known golden bisection proportional to 𝜙, finding that the heptagon {7} has an analogous trisection, the nonagon {9} has an analogous quadrasection, and the hendecagon {11} has an analogous pentasection, an extended family of golden proportions with quasiperiodic properties. 

Kappraff and Adamson extended these findings in plane geometry to a theory of Generalized Fibonacci Sequences, showing that the Golden Fields not only do not end with the hendecagon, they form an infinite number of periodic trajectories when operated on by the Mandelbrot operator. They found a relation between the edges of star polygons and dynamical systems in the state of chaos, revealing a connection between chaos theory, number, and rotations in Coxeter Euclidean geometry. 

Fontaine and Hurley examined Steinbach's finding that the length of each chord of a regular polygon is both the product of two chords and the sum of a set of smaller chords, so that in rotations to add is to multiply. They illustrated Steinbach's sets of additive chords lying parallel to each other in the plane (pointing in the same direction), and by applying Steinbach's formula more generally they found another summation relation of signed parallel chords (pointing in opposite directions) which relates each chord length to its reciprocal, and relates the summation to a distinct star polygon rotation. 

We examine these remarkable findings (which stem from study of the chords of humble regular polygons) in higher-dimensional spaces, specifically in the chords, polygons and rotations of the [[120-cell]], the largest four-dimensional regular convex polytope.

[[120-cell#Geometry|The 120-cell is the maximally complex regular 4-polytope]], containing inscribed instances of every regular 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-polytope, except the regular polygons of more than {15} sides. 

The 120-cell is the convex hull of a regular [[120-cell#Relationships among interior polytopes|compound of each of the 6 regular convex 4-polytopes]]. They are the [[5-cell|5-point (5-cell) 4-simplex]], the [[16-cell|8-point (16-cell) 4-orthoplex]], the [[W:Tesseract|16-point (8-cell) tesseract]], the [[24-cell|24-point (24-cell)]], the [[600-cell|120-point (600-cell)]], and the [[120-cell|600-point (120-cell)]]. The 120-cell is the convex hull of a compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells, of 75 disjoint 16-cells, of 25 disjoint 24-cells, and of 5 disjoint 600-cells.

The 120-cell contains an even larger inventory of irregular polytopes, created by the intersection of multiple instances of these component regular 4-polytopes. Many are quite unexpected, because they do not occur as components of any regular polytope smaller than the 120-cell. As just one example among the [[120-cell#Concentric hulls|sections of the 120-cell]], there is an irregular 24-point polyhedron with 16 triangle faces and 4 nonagon {9} faces.{{Sfn|Moxness|}}

Most renderings of the 120-cell, like the rotating projection here, only illustrate its outer surface, which is a honeycomb of face-bonded dodecahedral cells. Only the objects in its 3-dimensional surface are rendered, namely the 120 dodecahedra, their pentagon faces, and their edges. Although the 120-cell has chords of 30 distinct lengths, in this kind of simplified rendering only the 120-cell's own edges (its shortest chord) are shown. Its 29 interior chords, the edges of objects in the interior of the 120-cell, are not rendered, so interior objects are not visible at all.

Visualizing the complete interior of the 600-vertex 120-cell in a single image is impractical because of its complexity. Only four 120-cell edges are incident at each vertex, but [[120-cell#Chords|600 chords (of all 30 lengths)]] are incident at ''each'' vertex.

== Compounds in the 120-cell ==
The 8-point (16-cell), not the 5-point (5-cell), is the smallest building block; it compounds to every larger regular 4-polytope. The 5-point (5-cell) does compound to the 600-point (120-cell), but it does not fit into any smaller regular 4-polytope. 

The 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 2 in the 16-point (8-cell), and by 3 in the 24-point (24-cell). The 16-point (8-cell) compounds in the 24-point (24-cell) by 3 non-disjoint instances of itself, with each of the 24 vertices shared by two 16-point (8-cells). The 24-point (24-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell), and the 120-point (600-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell).

The 24-point (24-cell) also compounds by 5&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; non-disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell); it compounds in 5 disjoint instances of itself, 10 (not 5) different ways. Whichever set of 5 disjoint 24-point (24-cells) are assembled, the resulting 120-point (600-cell) contains 25 distinct 24-point (24-cells), not just 5 (or 10). This implies that 15 disjoint 8-point (16-cells) will construct a 120-point (600-cell), which will contain 75 distinct 8-point (16-cells). 

The 600-point (120-cell) is 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), just 2 different ways (not 5 or 10 ways), so it is 10 distinct 120-point (600-cells). This implies that the 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 3 times 5&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; (75) disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell), which contains 3&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; times  5&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; (225) distinct instances of the 24-point (24-cell), and  3&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt; times 5&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; (675) distinct instances of the 8-point (16-cell). 

These facts were discovered painstakingly by various researchers, and no one has found a general rule governing subsumption relations among regular polytopes. The reasons for some of their numeric incidence relations are far from obvious. [[W:Pieter Hendrik Schoute|Schoute]] was the first to see that the 120-point (600-cell) is a compound of 5 24-point (24-cells) ''10 different ways'', and after he saw it a hundred years lapsed until Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler &amp; Claiborne proved his result, and showed why.{{Sfn|Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler &amp; Claiborne|2020|loc=''The geometry of H4 polytopes''}}

So much for the compounds of 16-cells. The 120-cell is also the convex hull of the compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells. That stellated compound (without its convex hull of 120-cell edges) is the [[w:Great_grand_stellated_120-cell|great grand stellated 120-cell]] illustrated above, the final regular [[W:Stellation|stellation]] of the 120-cell, and the only [[W:Schläfli-Hess polychoron|regular star 4-polytope]] to have the 120-cell for its convex hull. The edges of the great grand stellated 120-cell are &lt;math&gt;\phi^6&lt;/math&gt; as long as those of its 120-cell [[W:List of polyhedral stellations#Stellation process|stellation core]] deep inside.

The compound of 120 disjoint 5-point (5-cells) can be seen to be equivalent to the compound of 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), as follows. Beginning with a single 120-point (600-cell), expand each vertex into a regular 5-cell, by adding 4 new equidistant vertices, such that the 5 vertices form a regular 5-cell inscribed in the 3-sphere. The 120 5-cells are disjoint, and the 600 vertices form 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells): a 120-cell.

== Thirty distinguished distances ==
The 30 numbers listed in the table are all-important in Euclidean geometry. A case can be made on symmetry grounds that their squares are the 30 most important numbers between 0 and 4. The 30 rows of the table are the 30 distinct [[120-cell#Geodesic rectangles|chord lengths of the unit-radius 120-cell]], the largest regular convex 4-polytope. Since the 120-cell subsumes all smaller regular polytopes, its 30 chords are the complete chord set of all the regular polytopes that can be constructed in the first four dimensions of Euclidean space, except for regular polygons of more than 15 sides.

== The 16-cell 4-orthoplex ==
In 2-space we have the regular 8-point octagon, in 3-space the regular 8-point cube, and in 4-space the regular 8-point [[16-cell]].

A planar octagon with rigid edges of unit length has chords of length:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=1,r_2=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.848,r_3=\sqrt{2}+1 \approx 2.414,r_4=\sqrt{4 + \sqrt{8}} \approx 2.613&lt;/math&gt;

The chord ratio &lt;math&gt;r_3=\sqrt{2}+1&lt;/math&gt; is a geometrical proportion, the [[W:Silver ratio|silver ratio]]. Fontaine and Hurley's procedure for obtaining the reciprocal of a chord tells us that:

:&lt;math&gt;r_3-r_1-r_1=1/r_3 \approx 0.414&lt;/math&gt;

Note that &lt;math&gt;r_3-2=1/r_3=\sqrt{2}-1&lt;/math&gt;. Their procedure rotates counterclockwise over three &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords of an {8/3} octagram. Over the first &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chord the displacement is &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}+1&lt;/math&gt;. Over the second &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chord it moves in the opposite direction a distance of &lt;math&gt;-1&lt;/math&gt; . Over the third &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chord it also moves a distance of &lt;math&gt;-1&lt;/math&gt;. Fontaine and Hurley also demonstrated the significance of &lt;math&gt;1/r_i&lt;/math&gt; in Steinbach's Diagonal Product Formula, which says that every chord length is the sum of certain smaller chord lengths. The smaller chords are certain diagonals of the same regular polygon of smaller edge length, specifically edge length &lt;math&gt;1/r_i&lt;/math&gt; rather than &lt;math&gt;1&lt;/math&gt;.

If we embed the planar octagon in 3-space, we can make it skew, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from three others instead of two others, at the vertices of a unit-edge cube with chords of length:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=1, r_2=\sqrt{2}, r_3=\sqrt{3}, r_4=\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;

If we embed this cube in 4-space, we can skew it some more, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from six others instead of three others, at the vertices of a unit-edge 4-polytope with chords of length:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=1,r_2=1,r_3=1,r_4=\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;

All of its chords except its long diameters are the same unit length as its edge. In fact they are its 24 edges, and it is a 16-cell of radius &lt;math&gt;1/\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;.

[[File:octagon16cell.png|thumb|Orthogonal projection of a regular 16-cell to the [[16-cell#Projections|B&lt;sub&gt;4&lt;/sub&gt; Coxeter plane]]. Only its edges are shown; its long diameter chords are not drawn. All 24 edges are the same length and none lie parallel to the projection plane. The octagon circumference is a Petrie polygon. The two disjoint squares lie in completely orthogonal central planes. The blue octagram is a Clifford polygon. ]]

The [[16-cell]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{3,3,4\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;. It has 8 vertices, 24 edges, 32 equilateral triangle faces, and 16 regular tetrahedron cells. It is the [[16-cell#Octahedral dipyramid|four-dimensional analogue of the octahedron]], and each of its four orthogonal central hyperplanes is an octahedron.

The only planar regular polygons found in the 16-cell are face triangles and central plane squares, but the 16-cell also contains a skew regular octagon, its [[W:Petrie polygon|Petrie polygon]].{{Efn|name=Petrie polygon of a honeycomb}} The chords of this regular octagon, which lies skew in 4-space, are those given above for the 16-cell, as opposed to those for the cube or the regular octagon in the plane. The 16-cell is a construct of 3 Petrie octagons which share the same 8 vertices but have disjoint sets of 8 edges each.

The regular octad has higher symmetry in 4-space than it does in 2-space. The 16-cell is the 4-[[w:Cross-polytope|orthoplex]], the simplest regular 4-polytope after the [[5-cell|4-simplex]]. All the larger regular convex 4-polytopes are compounds of the 16-cell. The regular octagon exhibits this high symmetry only when embedded in 4-space at the vertices of the 16-cell.

The 16-cell constitutes an [[W:Orthonormal basis|orthonormal basis]] for the choice of a 4-dimensional Cartesian reference frame, because its vertices define four orthogonal axes. The eight vertices of a unit-radius 16-cell are (±1, 0, 0, 0), (0, ±1, 0, 0), (0, 0, ±1, 0), (0, 0, 0, ±1). All vertices are connected by &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; edges except opposite pairs. 

The vertex coordinates of the 16-cell form 6 central squares lying in 6 pairwise [[W:Orthogonal|orthogonal]] coordinate planes. Great squares in opposite planes that do not share an axis (e.g. in the ''xy'' and ''wz'' planes) are completely disjoint (they do not intersect at any vertices). These planes are [[W:Completely orthogonal|completely orthogonal]].{{Efn|name=Six orthogonal planes of the Cartesian basis}}

Since the unit-radius coordinate system is convenient, let us derive the unit-radius 16-cell by skewing a unit-radius planar octagon, which has chords of length:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.765,r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.848,r_4=2&lt;/math&gt;

We will need a planar octagon with rigid &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chords, rather than one with rigid &lt;math&gt;r_1&lt;/math&gt; edges. The octagon's &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chords form two disjoint great squares, visible in the orthogonal projection, which we can reposition in 3-space to form a cube by making them parallel, and in 4-space to form a 16-cell by making them completely orthogonal.

Each chord is a distinct 4-vector with a length and a direction. Since the edges of the 16-cell are all the same length &lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{2},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;, those chords are distinct only in the context of a rotation, where vertices circle over the chords of an &lt;math&gt;r_i&lt;/math&gt; polygon. The rotational curve over each &lt;math&gt;r_i&lt;/math&gt; chord makes &lt;math&gt;i&lt;/math&gt; 45° turns. The angle between two &lt;math&gt;r_i&lt;/math&gt; chords is &lt;math&gt;i \times 45^\circ&lt;/math&gt;.

[[W:Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space|Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space]] can be seen as the composition of two 2-dimensional rotations in completely orthogonal planes. The general rotation in 4-space is a [[W:SO(4)#Double rotations|double rotation]] in pairs of completely orthogonal planes. Two completely orthogonal planes are called invariant planes of the rotation when all points in the plane rotate on circles that remain in the plane, even as the whole plane tilts sideways (like a coin flipping) into another plane. The two completely orthogonal rotations of each plane (like a wheel, and like a coin flipping) are simultaneous but independent, in that they are not geometrically constrained to turn at the same rate. However, the most circular kind of rotation (as opposed to an elliptical double rotation of a rigid spherical object) occurs when the completely orthogonal planes do rotate through the same angle in the same time interval. Such equi-angled double rotations are called [[w:SO(4)#Isoclinic_rotations|isoclinic]], also [[w:William_Kingdon_Clifford|Clifford]] displacements.

The &lt;math&gt;r_1&lt;/math&gt; chords of the 16-cell form a Petrie polygon {8/1} which zig-zags back and forth, in the left and right rotational directions, between two completely orthogonal great squares formed by &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chords.

The &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chords  form the ''edge polygon'' of the 16-cell {8/2}=2{4}. The two completely orthogonal great squares lie parallel and perpendicular to each other. A ''simple'' rotation of the 16-cell in ''one'' of those two square central planes rotates that square like a wheel, while the other square does not move.{{Efn|name=simple rotations}} The four vertices of the rotating square orbit on a great circle in the plane.

The &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords of the 16-cell form a circular helix, visible as a blue {8/3} octagram in the orthogonal projection. A ''double'' rotation of the 16-cell, in both of two completely orthogonal invariant &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; square planes at once by equal angles, moves the eight vertices along the circular helix over &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords. The vertex motion is a [[w:Geodesic|geodesic]] circle orbit on the 3-sphere of a special kind: it does not lie in a central plane, its [[w:Winding_number|winding number]] is not 1 (it is 3 in this case), its circumference is not &lt;math&gt;2\pi&lt;/math&gt; (it is &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; in this case), and it moves in either a left or right handed circular spiral. We shall refer to such a chiral circle orbit as an ''isocline'', and to the skew polygram of its rotational chords as a ''Clifford polygon''.

The 16-cell is the simplest possible frame in which to [[16-cell#Rotations|observe 4-dimensional rotations]] because its characteristic rotations feature a single pair of invariant rotation planes. In the 16-cell an isoclinic rotation by 90° in any pair of invariant completely orthogonal square central planes takes every great square to its completely orthogonal great square in a twisting displacement, as the invariant planes tilt sideways 90° into each other's plane while rotating 90° internally. All the vertices move at once along the same circular helix geodesic isocline of &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords, displaced 90° in 8 orthogonal directions, and the rigid 16-cell assumes a new orientation in 4-space. When the 90° isoclinic rotation is continued in the same rotational direction through an additional 90°, each vertex is again displaced 90°, but from the new orientation in a direction orthogonal to its first 90° displacement. The rotational curve over each 90° &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chord makes three 45° turns. In 360° of isoclinic rotation over four &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords, each vertex makes six 90° turns and reaches its antipodal position.

The trajectory of each vertex over each 90° isoclinic rotational displacement is a one-eighth segment of its geodesic orbit. Its entire orbit traces an isocline circle in 4-space of circumference &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; over eight &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane twice, over the four &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; edges of a great square in one of the two moving invariant rotation planes. In the course of a 720° isoclinic revolution each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 16-cell returns to its original orientation.

We shall refer to this isoclinic rotation as the ''characteristic rotation of the 16-cell'', and note once again that it is Fontaine and Hurley's counterclockwise rotation over the &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; {8/3} star polygon, which constructs &lt;math&gt;1/r_3&lt;/math&gt;.

== The 8-cell tesseract ==
The long diameter of the unit-edge [[W:Hypercube|hypercube]] of dimension &lt;math&gt;n&lt;/math&gt; is &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{n}&lt;/math&gt;, so the unit-edge [[w:Tesseract|4-hypercube, the 16-point (8-cell) tesseract,]] has chords:
:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;
Uniquely in its 4-dimensional case, the hypercube's edge length equals its radius, like the hexagon. We call such polytopes ''radially equilateral'', because they can be constructed from equilateral triangles which meet at their center, each contributing two radii and an edge. The [[w:Cuboctahedron|cuboctahedron]] and the 24-cell are also radially equilateral.

[[File:8-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 16-point (8-cell) tesseract &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{4,3,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; performing a simple rotation about a plane in 4-space.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}} The stationary plane bisects the figure from front-left to back-right and top to bottom.]]
The [[W:Tesseract|tesseract]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{4,3,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;. It has 16 vertices, 32 edges, 24 square faces, and 8 cube cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the cube.

The 16-point tesseract is the convex hull of a compound of two 8-point 16-cells, in exact dimensional analogy to the way the 8-point cube is the convex hull of a [[W:Stellated octahedron|compound of two 4-point regular tetrahedra]]. The [[W:Demihypercube|demihypercubes]] occupy alternate vertices of the hypercubes. The diagonals of the square faces of the unit-edge, unit-radius tesseract are the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; edges of two unit-radius 16-cells, also the edges of the square central planes.

We can rotate the tesseract isoclinically the way we rotated the 16-cell, by 90° in the characteristic rotation of the 16-cell, with the same effect on both alternate-position 16-cells. In the course of a 720° revolution each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, but it does not visit the vertex positions of the other 16-cell. The two skew {8/3} octagram Clifford polygons lie on two disjoint parallel isoclines of the same chirality, of circumference &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; chords. They form a circular double helix which intersects each vertex of the tesseract once. The double helix is an 8-rung ladder twisted 3 times, then bent into a circle in the fourth dimension. Each rung is a tesseract edge.

The tesseract is the [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]] of the 16-cell. They have the same Petrie polygon, the regular skew octagon, but the tesseract is a construct of 4 Petrie octagons with disjoint sets of 8 tesseract edges each. We can construct the tesseract by skewing two planar octagons. Because the tesseract is radially equilateral (unlike the 16-cell), we use two octagons of unit-edge length to build the unit-radius tesseract. To start we embed the planar octagons in 4-space at the same point and make them completely orthogonal. Then we skew each planar octagon into a cube, so we have a compound of two completely orthogonal cubes, provided we skewed them both in the same direction. The 16 vertices will be the vertices of a tesseract with half its 32 edges missing.

Because the tesseract contains two 16-cells in alternate positions it has two sets of 6 orthogonal square central planes. Two angles are required to specify the relationship between two planes in 4-space. Pairs of square central planes within each 16-cell are 90° apart in one angle, and either 0° or 90° apart in the other angle. They are 90° apart in both angles if and only if they are completely orthogonal planes, 90° apart by isoclinic rotation, with no vertices in common. Otherwise they are 0° apart in one of the angles, 90° apart by simple rotation, and they intersect in one axis and lie in a common 3-dimensional hyperplane.{{Efn|A double rotation in which one of the two angles of rotation is 0°, so that one of the completely orthogonal invariant planes does not rotate, is called a simple rotation.

A pair of square central planes from alternate-position 16-cells are 60° apart by isoclinic rotation, with their corresponding vertices 120° apart. The planes are not orthogonal or parallel, so they intersect in a line somewhere, but they have no vertices in common, they have no 3-dimensional hyperplane in common, and they cannot reach each other by simple rotation. Such pairs of objects are called [[W:Clifford parallel|Clifford parallel]] because all their corresponding pairs of vertices are the same distance apart, although they are not parallel in the usual sense, because they have a common center. Not only the alternate-position 16-cells' corresponding square central planes, but also the 16-cells themselves, are Clifford parallel objects. More generally, multiple disjoint instances of a 4-polytope which compound to make a larger 4-polytope are Clifford parallel objects.

== The 24-cell ==
[[File:24-cell vertex geometry.png|thumb|Planar geometry of the radially equilateral 24-cell, showing its 3 great circle polygons and its 4 chord lengths.]]
In 2-space we have the radially equilateral 6-point hexagon. In 3-space we have the radially equilateral 12-point cuboctahedron, with 4 hexagonal central planes. In 4-space we have the radially equilateral 24-point 24-cell, with 12 cuboctahedron central hyperplanes and 16 hexagonal central planes.

The [[24-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{3,4,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;. It has 24 vertices, 96 edges, 96 equilateral triangle faces, and 24 octahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the cuboctahedron.

The 24-cell has the same chord set as the 4-hypercube tesseract:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;

[[Image:24-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 24-point 24-cell &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{3,4,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; performing a simple rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}} The 3-dimensional surface made of 24 octahedra is visible.]]
The 24-cell is [[W:Dual polytope|self-dual]], like the regular polygons and regular simplexes. It is the maximal regular construct of triangles and squares (with no pentagons). It is the convex hull of a compound of three disjoint 8-point 16-cells, rotated 60° isoclinically with respect to each other. Each of the three pairs of 16-cells is a tesseract. Each 24-cell edge is also a tesseract edge. The corresponding vertices of two 16-cells or two tesseracts are 120° apart by a &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chord. Each tesseract has 8 cube cells, and each cube has four &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; long diameters. The &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chords joining the corresponding vertices of two tesseracts belong to the third tesseract as cell long diameters.

The 24-cell's Petrie polygon is the regular dodecagon {12}, which has chords:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\tfrac{\sqrt{3}-1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.518,r_2=\sqrt{1},r_3=\sqrt{2},r_4=\sqrt{3},r_5=\tfrac{\sqrt{3}+1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.932,r_6=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;

Fontaine and Hurley's procedure for obtaining the reciprocal of a chord tells us that: 

:&lt;math&gt;r_5-r_3+r_1+r_1-r_3=1/r_5&lt;/math&gt;

when &lt;math&gt;r_1=1&lt;/math&gt;. The procedure rotates counterclockwise over five &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; chords of a {12/5} dodecagram. In the system of unit-radius coordinates &lt;math&gt;r_1=1/r_5&lt;/math&gt;.

The &lt;math&gt;r_1&lt;/math&gt; and &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; chords of the planar dodecagon do not occur in the 24-cell, which is a construct of eight skew dodecagons with disjoint sets of twelve &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt; edges each. In the skew dodecagons the chord lengths are:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{1},r_3=\sqrt{2},r_4=\sqrt{3},r_5=\sqrt{3},r_6=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;

Where chords are the same length, they are distinct only in the context of a rotation.

In a unit-radius 24-cell, all black lines are 24-cell edges of unit length, also tesseract edges. The two disjoint hexagons lie in Clifford parallel central planes. Blue chords are &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; 16-cell edges of Clifford parallel great squares, also isocline chords in great square rotations. Green chords are &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; distances between corresponding vertices of two 16-cells, also isocline chords in great hexagon rotations. The green {12/5} dodecagram is a Clifford polygon.]]
[[File:Regular_star_figure_3(8,3).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/9}=3{8/3} &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;]]
We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in Clifford parallel invariant planes containing 16-cell edges, for example in the characteristic rotation of the 16-cell, with the same effect on all three 16-cells. In 720° each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, but it does not visit the vertex positions of the other 16-cells. The rotational curve over each 90° &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; chord makes three 45° turns. Three Clifford parallel {8/3} octagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; chords form a circular triple helix {24/9}=3{8/3} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once. The triple helix is a 12-step circular staircase that twists around 3 times, and is bent into a circle in the fourth dimension. Each triangular step is a 24-cell face.

We can also rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in Clifford parallel invariant planes containing 24-cell edges. A complete 24-cell great circle edge plane revolution requires 720° like a complete 16-cell great circle edge plane revolution, but it is completed in 12 isoclinic displacements of 60° each rather than 8 isoclinic displacements of 90° each.  An isoclinic rotation by 60° in any invariant central plane containing a 24-cell edge takes every great hexagon to a Clifford parallel great hexagon in a twisting displacement, as all the central planes tilt sideways 60° while rotating 60° internally. It also takes every great square to a Clifford parallel great square. All 24 vertices move at once on Clifford parallel geodesic isoclines, displaced 120° in different directions. The trajectory of each vertex over each 60° rotational displacement is a one-twelfth segment of its geodesic orbit, and its entire orbit traces an isocline circle in 4-space over &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chords. There are two distinct ways we can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in invariant planes containing 24-cell edges, called the ''characteristic left rotation'' and the ''characteristic right rotation'', respectively.

[[File:Regular star figure 2(12,5).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/10}=2{12/5} shows 2 dodecagram isoclines of &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; chords in the 24-cell]]
We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in 12 Clifford parallel invariant planes containing two &lt;math&gt;r_{1}&lt;/math&gt; edges each, over &lt;math&gt;r_{5}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. This is the ''characteristic left rotation of the 24-cell'', also Fontaine and Hurley's counterclockwise rotation over the &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; 2{12/5} star polygon which constructs &lt;math&gt;1/r_5&lt;/math&gt;. The rotational curve over each 120° &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; chord makes five 30° turns. Two Clifford parallel {12/5} dodecagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;10\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular double helix {24/10}=2{12/5} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once. The orbit of each vertex traces an isocline circle in 4-space over 12 &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane 5 times in a moving invariant rotation plane. In the course of a 720° revolution each vertex departs from 12 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 24-cell returns to its original orientation. 

[[File:Regular_star_figure_8(3,1).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/8}=8{3}&lt;small&gt; &lt;/small&gt;shows 8 of 32&lt;small&gt; &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; triangles in the 24-cell]]
We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in 4 Clifford parallel invariant great hexagon planes containing six &lt;math&gt;r_{2}&lt;/math&gt; edges each, over &lt;math&gt;r_{4}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. This is the ''characteristic right rotation of the 24-cell'', also Fontaine and Hurley's counterclockwise rotation over the &lt;math&gt;r_4&lt;/math&gt; 8{3} star polygon which constructs &lt;math&gt;1/r_4&lt;/math&gt;. The rotational curve over each 120° &lt;math&gt;r_4&lt;/math&gt; chord makes four 30° turns.  Eight Clifford parallel triangle geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;2\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;r_4&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular fibration of 8 twisted parallel strands {24/8}=8{3} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once. In three successive 60° isoclinic displacements each vertex circles a triangle and returns to its original position, but the 24-cell returns to its original orientation only after each vertex has completed circuits of the four distinct triangles which intersect at the vertex. The isocline curves over a self-intersecting dodecagram of 12 &lt;math&gt;r_4&lt;/math&gt; chords.

By examining the chords &lt;math&gt;r_i&lt;/math&gt; of the 24-cell's Petrie {12}-gon we found three distinct isoclinic rotations. If we examine the chords &lt;math&gt;t_i&lt;/math&gt; of the 24-cell's {24}-gon we find these and also three other distinct isoclinic rotations.  

Each row of the table is a distinct isoclinic rotation of the 24-cell characterized by a pair of chords that sum to 180°. The edge chords form the rotation's edge {24}-gon, and lie in invariant planes of the rotation. The isocline chords form the rotation's Clifford {24}-gon and lie in the invariant planes completely orthogonal to the edge planes. The rotational angle between successive edge chords and the rotational angle between successive isocline chords also sum to 180°.  

We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in Clifford parallel invariant planes containing 16-cell edges in 6 Clifford parallel invariant great square planes containing four &lt;math&gt;t_{6}&lt;/math&gt; edges each, over &lt;math&gt;t_{6}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. The &lt;math&gt;t_6&lt;/math&gt; chord is the 16-cell-&lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chord. The edge polygon and the Clifford polygon are both {24/6}=6{4}. This is the ''characteristic right rotation of the 24-cell''.  

The rotational curve over each 90° &lt;math&gt;t_6&lt;/math&gt; chord makes six 15° turns.  Six Clifford parallel skew triangle geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;2\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;t_6&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular fibration of six twisted parallel strands that intersects each 24-cell vertex once. &lt;s&gt;In every 360° of isoclinic rotation each vertex circles a skew great square and returns to its original position, but the 24-cell returns to its original orientation only after each vertex has completed circuits of the three distinct skew squares which intersect at the vertex and the three distinct skew squares which intersect at its antipodal vertex. The isocline curves over a self-intersecting {24}-gon of &lt;math&gt;t_6&lt;/math&gt; chords.&lt;/s&gt;

Invisible in this rendering are 25 inscribed instances of the 24-cell (above), which occur in the 600-cell as interior boundary envelopes.]]
The [[600-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{3,3,5\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;. It has 120 vertices, 720 edges, 1200 equilateral triangle faces, and 600 tetrahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the icosahedron.

The 600-cell rounds out the 24-cell by adding 96 more vertices (four more disjoint 24-cells) between the 24-cell's existing 24 vertices, in effect adding twenty-four more distinct 24-cells inscribed in the 600-cell. The new surface thus formed is a honeycomb of smaller, more numerous cells: tetrahedra of edge length &lt;math&gt;\phi^{-1} \approx 0.618&lt;/math&gt; instead of octahedra of edge length &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt;. It encloses the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt; edges of the 24-cells, which become invisible interior chords in the 600-cell, like the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; and &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chords.

Since the tetrahedra are made of shorter triangle edges than the octahedra (by a factor of &lt;math&gt;\phi^{-1}&lt;/math&gt;, the inverse golden ratio), the 600-cell is not radially equilateral like the 24-cell and the tesseract. Like them it is radially triangular in a special way, but one in which [[w:Golden_triangle_(mathematics)|golden triangles]] rather than equilateral triangles meet at the center.

In 2-space we have the ''radially golden'' [[W:Decagon#The golden ratio in decagon|regular decagon]]. In 3-space we have the radially golden 30-point [[W:icosidodecahedron|icosidodecahedron]], with 6 decagon central planes. In 4-space we have the radially golden 120-point 600-cell, with 60 icosidodecahedron central hyperplanes and 72 decagon central planes.

The 600-cell's Petrie polygon is the regular [[w:Triacontagon|triacontagon {30}]]. The unit-radius planar {30}-gon has these distinct chords:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=2 \sin (\tfrac{\pi}{15}/2) \approx 0.209&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_2=2 \sin (\tfrac{2\pi}{15}/2) \approx 0.416&lt;/math&gt;

:&lt;math&gt;r_6=2 \sin (\tfrac{2\pi}{5}/2)=\sqrt{3-\phi} \approx 1.176&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_7=2 \sin (\tfrac{7\pi}{15}/2) \approx 1.338&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_8=2 \cos (\tfrac{7\pi}{15}/2) \approx 1.486&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_9=2 \sin (\tfrac{3\pi}{5}/2)=\phi \approx 1.618&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{10}=2 \sin (\tfrac{2\pi}{3}/2)=\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{11}=2 \cos (\tfrac{4\pi}{15}/2) \approx 1.827&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{12}=2 \sin (\tfrac{4\pi}{5}/2)=\sqrt{2+\phi} \approx 1.902&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{13}=2 \cos (\tfrac{2\pi}{15}/2) \approx 1.956&lt;/math&gt;

:&lt;math&gt;r_{15}=2 \sin (\pi/2)=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;

Only the chord lengths &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_6&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_9&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_{10}&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_{12}&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_{15}&lt;/math&gt; occur in the 600-cell, which is a construct of 24 Petrie {30}-gons of edge length &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt;, six of which intersect in each icosahedral vertex figure. In the skew {30}-gons the chord lengths are:

Where chords are the same length, they are distinct only in the context of a rotation.

The list of 600-cell chords &lt;math&gt;r_{i}&lt;/math&gt; can be rearranged into a table of 8 rows and 2 columns with a pair of 180° complements in each row. The short chord and long chord each have their characteristic {30/n}-gon. Each row identifies a discrete isoclinic rotation of the 600-cell in invariant central planes containing the edges of the short chord {30}-gon, over the isocline chords of the long chord {30}-gon, the rotation's Clifford polygon.

Each distinct pair of complementary chord lengths is identified with a distinct [[w:600-cell#Polyhedral sections|polyhedral section of the 600-cell]] beginning with a vertex. In spherical [[w:3-sphere|3-dimensional space &lt;math&gt;\mathbb{S}^3&lt;/math&gt;]], every vertex is the center of a set of 7 concentric polyhedra of increasing radii that nest like [[w:Matryoshka_doll|Russian dolls.]] The smallest polyhedral section at radial distance &lt;math&gt;\phi^{-1}&lt;/math&gt; is a icosahedron vertex figure, and the largest section at radial distance &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; is an [[W:Icosidodecahedron|icosidodecahedron]] central section bisecting the 600-cell. Because  [[w:3-sphere|&lt;math&gt;\mathbb{S}^3&lt;/math&gt;]] is spherical, at radial distances greater than &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; the successive complement-radius polyhedra decrease in size, to the antipodal icosahedron vertex figure at distance &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2+\phi}&lt;/math&gt;. In Euclidean 4-dimensional space &lt;math&gt;\mathbb{R}^4&lt;/math&gt;, every vertex is the apex of 7 [[w:Hyperpyramid|polyhedral pyramids]], where the pyramid's lateral edge length is the radial distance and its base polyhedron is the section. Each section lies parallel to a congruent complement-radius section (or coincident with it, in the case of the central section).

[[File:Regular_star_figure_3(8,3).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/9}=3{8/3} &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;]]
We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in the great square rotation characteristic of the 16-cell,  with the same effect on 15 disjoint 16-cells. Each 90° displacement takes 15 pairs of completely orthogonal invariant great square planes to each other. In the course of a 720° revolution each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, without visiting other vertex positions. The rotational curve over each 90° chord makes three 45° turns. Fifteen Clifford parallel {8/3} octagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular fibration of 15 twisted parallel strands 5{24/9}=15{8/3} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.

The 600-cell has another distinct isoclinic rotation in invariant great square planes, which has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. This [''great square left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell]'' takes place over &lt;math&gt;r_7&lt;/math&gt; edge chords and &lt;math&gt;r_8&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. The {30/7} edge polygon is a skew helix of circumference &lt;math&gt;14\pi&lt;/math&gt; with each &lt;math&gt;r_7&lt;/math&gt; edge belonging to a distinct great square. The four {30/7} polygrams contribute one edge each to 30 great squares. Each 90° displacement takes every 16-cell to another 16-cell. The vertices of the invariant great squares each make seven orbits on a great circle within the moving invariant plane in the course of one complete revolution. The rotational curve over each 90° {30/7} edge makes seven 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/7} geodesics of circumference &lt;math&gt;16\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. The {30/8}=2{15/4} Clifford polygon is a compound of two skew {15/4} pentadecagrams of circumference &lt;math&gt;16\pi&lt;/math&gt; with each &lt;math&gt;r_8&lt;/math&gt; isocline chord belonging to a distinct 16-cell. The four {30/8} polygrams contribute one edge each to 30 great squares. The rotational curve over each 90° {30/8} isocline chord makes eight 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/8} geodesics of circumference &lt;math&gt;16\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.

[[File:Regular star figure 2(12,5).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/10}=2{12/5} &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; ]]
We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in the great hexagon rotation characteristic of the 24-cell, over &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt; edge chords and &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords, with the same effect on 5 disjoint 24-cells. In the course of a 720° revolution each vertex departs from 12 vertex positions of its 24-cell just once and returns to its original position, without visiting other vertex positions. Ten Clifford parallel {12/5} dodecagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;10\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular fibration of ten twisted parallel strands 5{24/10}=10{12/5} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. 

The 600-cell has another distinct isoclinic rotation in invariant great hexagon planes, over &lt;math&gt;r_{4}=\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt; edge chords and &lt;math&gt;r_{11}=\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords This [''invariant great hexagon left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell]'' has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. Its {30/11} Clifford polygon is a skew helix where each &lt;math&gt;r_{11}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chord is the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; diagonal of a great hexagon of a distinct 24-cell. The vertices of the invariant great hexagons of this rotation each make eleven orbits on a great circle within the moving invariant plane in the course of one complete revolution. The rotational curve over each 120° &lt;math&gt;r_{11}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chord makes eleven 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/11} geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;22\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;r_{11}&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. 

We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in 12 Clifford parallel invariant decagon central planes containing its 36° &lt;math&gt;r_{3}&lt;/math&gt; edges, over 144° &lt;math&gt;r_{12}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. This ''invariant great decagon rotation characteristic of the 600-cell'' has period 5 and takes disjoint 24-cells to each other. The rotational curve over each &lt;math&gt;r_{12}&lt;/math&gt; chord of its {5/2} Clifford polygon makes twelve 12° turns. 24 Clifford parallel {5/2} pentagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;4\pi&lt;/math&gt; over five &lt;math&gt;r_{12}&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular fibration of 24 twisted parallel strands 4{30/12}=24{5/2} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. 

The rotation of the 600-cell by 36° in any invariant decagon central plane takes every great decagon to a Clifford parallel great decagon in a twisting displacement, as all the central planes tilt sideways 36° while rotating 36° internally. It also takes every great hexagon to a Clifford parallel great hexagon, and every great square to a Clifford parallel great square. The 24-cells revolve within the 600-cell, as the 16-cells revolve within the 24-cells. All 120 vertices move at once on four Clifford parallel geodesic isoclines, displaced 144° in different directions.

The 600-cell has another distinct isoclinic rotation in invariant great decagon planes containing its 36° &lt;math&gt;r_{2}&lt;/math&gt; edges, over 144° &lt;math&gt;r_{13}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. This [''great decagon left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell]'' has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. The rotational curve over each 144° &lt;math&gt;r_{13}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chord makes thirteen 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/13} geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;26\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.

The [[User:Dc.samizdat/Golden chords of the 120-cell#Thirty distinguished distances|list of thirty 120-cell chords]] &lt;math&gt;c_{t}&lt;/math&gt; can be rearranged into a table of 16 rows and 2 columns with a pair of 180° complements in each row. This table first appears in [[w:Regular_Polytopes_(book)|''Regular Polytopes'']] (1947),{{Sfn|Coxeter|1973|loc=Table V(v): Simplified sections of {5,3,3} beginning with a vertex|pp=300-301}} where Coxeter identified each row with a distinct [[w:120-cell#Concentric_hulls|polyhedral section of the 120-cell]] beginning with a vertex. In spherical [[w:3-sphere|3-dimensional space &lt;math&gt;\mathbb{S}^3&lt;/math&gt;]], every vertex is the center of a set of 29 concentric polyhedra of increasing radii that nest like [[w:Matryoshka_doll|Russian dolls.]] The smallest polyhedral section at radial distance &lt;math&gt;c_1&lt;/math&gt; is a tetrahedron vertex figure, and the largest section at radial distance &lt;math&gt;c_{15}&lt;/math&gt; is a central section bisecting the 120-cell. Because  [[w:3-sphere|&lt;math&gt;\mathbb{S}^3&lt;/math&gt;]] is spherical, at radial distances greater than &lt;math&gt;c_{15}&lt;/math&gt; the successive complement-radius polyhedra decrease in size, to the antipodal tetrahedron vertex figure at distance &lt;math&gt;c_{29}&lt;/math&gt;. In Euclidean 4-dimensional space &lt;math&gt;\mathbb{R}^4&lt;/math&gt;, every vertex is the apex of 29 [[w:Hyperpyramid|polyhedral pyramids]], where the pyramid's lateral edge length is the radial distance and its base polyhedron is the section. Each section lies parallel to a congruent complement-radius section (or coincident with it, in the case of the central section). Each section also lies completely orthogonal to a congruent section. 

Only 8 of the 30 chords in the table occur in the 600-cell and the planar {30)-gon. The 120-cell's additional chords arise originally from the regular 5-cell, in its interaction with the other regular 4-polytopes that compound to make the 120-cell. Since all those polytopes except the 5-cell occur in the 600-cell, and the 600-cell and the 120-cell have the same symmetry group, the 5-cell's symmetry group is what's new in the 120-cell.

== Finally the 120-cell ==
The [[120-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{5,3,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;. It has 600 vertices, 1200 edges, 720 pentagon faces, and 120 dodecahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the dodecahedron.

The 120-cell is the [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]] of the 600-cell. They have the same Petrie polygon, the regular skew triacontagon {30}, but the 120-cell is a construct of 40 Petrie {30}-gons of edge length &lt;math&gt;c_1&lt;/math&gt;, two of which intersect in each tetrahedral vertex figure.

== Conclusions ==

Fontaine and Hurley's discovery is more than a geometric formula for the reciprocal of a regular ''n''-polygon diagonal. It also yields the discrete sequence of isocline chords of the characteristic isoclinic rotation of a ''d''-dimensional polytope in its invariant edge planes. The characteristic rotational chord sequence of the ''d''-polytope can be represented geometrically in two dimensions on a distinct star polygon, but it lies on a geodesic circle through ''d''-dimensional space. Fontaine and Hurley discovered the geodesic topology of polytopes generally. Their procedure will reveal the geodesics of arbitrary non-uniform polytopes, since it can be applied to a polytope of any dimensionality and irregularity, by first fitting the polytope to the smallest regular polygon whose chords include its chords. [If what is meant by this is its Petrie polygon, it is not quite necessary or possible with respect to the planar polygon chords, e.g. the planar Petrie polygon of the 600-cell does not contain the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; chord. But perhaps it would work if the fit is to the smallest regular skew polygon in the ''d''-space.]

The discovery of a chordal construction for discrete isoclinic rotations generally closes the circuit on Kappraff and Adamson's discovery of a rotational connection between dynamical systems, Steinbach's golden fields, and Coxeter's Euclidean geometry of ''n'' dimensions. Application of the Fontaine and Hurley procedure in the 120-cell demonstrates why the connection exists: because polytope sequences generally, from Steinbach's golden chord sequences in polygons, to sequences of star polygons in isoclinic rotations, to subsumption relations in the sequence of regular 4-polytopes, arise as expressions of the reflections and rotations of distinct Coxeter symmetry groups, when those various groups interact.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Steinbach discovered the formula for the ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. Fontaine and Hurley extended this result, discovering a formula for the reciprocal of a regular polygon chord derived geometrically from the chord's star polygon. We observe that these findings in plane geometry apply more generally, to polytopes of any dimensionality. Fontaine and Hurley's geometric procedure for finding the reciprocals of the chords of a regular polygon from their star polygons also finds the rotational geodesics of any polytope of any dimensionality.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
== Introduction ==
Steinbach discovered the Diagonal Product Formula and the Golden Fields family of ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. He showed how this family extends beyond the pentagon {5} with its well-known golden bisection proportional to 𝜙, finding that the heptagon {7} has an analogous trisection, the nonagon {9} has an analogous quadrasection, and the hendecagon {11} has an analogous pentasection, an extended family of golden proportions with quasiperiodic properties. 

Kappraff and Adamson extended these findings in plane geometry to a theory of Generalized Fibonacci Sequences, showing that the Golden Fields not only do not end with the hendecagon, they form an infinite number of periodic trajectories when operated on by the Mandelbrot operator. They found a relation between the edges of star polygons and dynamical systems in the state of chaos, revealing a connection between chaos theory, number, and rotations in Coxeter Euclidean geometry. 

Fontaine and Hurley examined Steinbach's finding that the length of each chord of a regular polygon is both the product of two chords and the sum of a set of smaller chords, so that in rotations to add is to multiply. They illustrated Steinbach's sets of additive chords lying parallel to each other in the plane (pointing in the same direction), and by applying Steinbach's formula more generally they found another summation relation of signed parallel chords (pointing in opposite directions) which relates each chord length to its reciprocal, and relates the summation to a distinct star polygon rotation. 

We examine these remarkable findings (which stem from study of the chords of humble regular polygons) in higher-dimensional spaces, specifically in the chords, polygons and rotations of the [[120-cell]], the largest four-dimensional regular convex polytope.

[[120-cell#Geometry|The 120-cell is the maximally complex regular 4-polytope]], containing inscribed instances of every regular 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-polytope, except the regular polygons of more than {15} sides. 

The 120-cell is the convex hull of a regular [[120-cell#Relationships among interior polytopes|compound of each of the 6 regular convex 4-polytopes]]. They are the [[5-cell|5-point (5-cell) 4-simplex]], the [[16-cell|8-point (16-cell) 4-orthoplex]], the [[W:Tesseract|16-point (8-cell) tesseract]], the [[24-cell|24-point (24-cell)]], the [[600-cell|120-point (600-cell)]], and the [[120-cell|600-point (120-cell)]]. The 120-cell is the convex hull of a compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells, of 75 disjoint 16-cells, of 25 disjoint 24-cells, and of 5 disjoint 600-cells.

The 120-cell contains an even larger inventory of irregular polytopes, created by the intersection of multiple instances of these component regular 4-polytopes. Many are quite unexpected, because they do not occur as components of any regular polytope smaller than the 120-cell. As just one example among the [[120-cell#Concentric hulls|sections of the 120-cell]], there is an irregular 24-point polyhedron with 16 triangle faces and 4 nonagon {9} faces.{{Sfn|Moxness|}}

Most renderings of the 120-cell, like the rotating projection here, only illustrate its outer surface, which is a honeycomb of face-bonded dodecahedral cells. Only the objects in its 3-dimensional surface are rendered, namely the 120 dodecahedra, their pentagon faces, and their edges. Although the 120-cell has chords of 30 distinct lengths, in this kind of simplified rendering only the 120-cell's own edges (its shortest chord) are shown. Its 29 interior chords, the edges of objects in the interior of the 120-cell, are not rendered, so interior objects are not visible at all.

Visualizing the complete interior of the 600-vertex 120-cell in a single image is impractical because of its complexity. Only four 120-cell edges are incident at each vertex, but [[120-cell#Chords|600 chords (of all 30 lengths)]] are incident at ''each'' vertex.

== Compounds in the 120-cell ==
The 8-point (16-cell), not the 5-point (5-cell), is the smallest building block; it compounds to every larger regular 4-polytope. The 5-point (5-cell) does compound to the 600-point (120-cell), but it does not fit into any smaller regular 4-polytope. 

The 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 2 in the 16-point (8-cell), and by 3 in the 24-point (24-cell). The 16-point (8-cell) compounds in the 24-point (24-cell) by 3 non-disjoint instances of itself, with each of the 24 vertices shared by two 16-point (8-cells). The 24-point (24-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell), and the 120-point (600-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell).

The 24-point (24-cell) also compounds by 5&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; non-disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell); it compounds in 5 disjoint instances of itself, 10 (not 5) different ways. Whichever set of 5 disjoint 24-point (24-cells) are assembled, the resulting 120-point (600-cell) contains 25 distinct 24-point (24-cells), not just 5 (or 10). This implies that 15 disjoint 8-point (16-cells) will construct a 120-point (600-cell), which will contain 75 distinct 8-point (16-cells). 

The 600-point (120-cell) is 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), just 2 different ways (not 5 or 10 ways), so it is 10 distinct 120-point (600-cells). This implies that the 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 3 times 5&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; (75) disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell), which contains 3&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; times  5&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; (225) distinct instances of the 24-point (24-cell), and  3&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt; times 5&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; (675) distinct instances of the 8-point (16-cell). 

These facts were discovered painstakingly by various researchers, and no one has found a general rule governing subsumption relations among regular polytopes. The reasons for some of their numeric incidence relations are far from obvious. [[W:Pieter Hendrik Schoute|Schoute]] was the first to see that the 120-point (600-cell) is a compound of 5 24-point (24-cells) ''10 different ways'', and after he saw it a hundred years lapsed until Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler &amp; Claiborne proved his result, and showed why.{{Sfn|Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler &amp; Claiborne|2020|loc=''The geometry of H4 polytopes''}}

So much for the compounds of 16-cells. The 120-cell is also the convex hull of the compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells. That stellated compound (without its convex hull of 120-cell edges) is the [[w:Great_grand_stellated_120-cell|great grand stellated 120-cell]] illustrated above, the final regular [[W:Stellation|stellation]] of the 120-cell, and the only [[W:Schläfli-Hess polychoron|regular star 4-polytope]] to have the 120-cell for its convex hull. The edges of the great grand stellated 120-cell are &lt;math&gt;\phi^6&lt;/math&gt; as long as those of its 120-cell [[W:List of polyhedral stellations#Stellation process|stellation core]] deep inside.

The compound of 120 disjoint 5-point (5-cells) can be seen to be equivalent to the compound of 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), as follows. Beginning with a single 120-point (600-cell), expand each vertex into a regular 5-cell, by adding 4 new equidistant vertices, such that the 5 vertices form a regular 5-cell inscribed in the 3-sphere. The 120 5-cells are disjoint, and the 600 vertices form 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells): a 120-cell.

== Thirty distinguished distances ==
The 30 numbers listed in the table are all-important in Euclidean geometry. A case can be made on symmetry grounds that their squares are the 30 most important numbers between 0 and 4. The 30 rows of the table are the 30 distinct [[120-cell#Geodesic rectangles|chord lengths of the unit-radius 120-cell]], the largest regular convex 4-polytope. Since the 120-cell subsumes all smaller regular polytopes, its 30 chords are the complete chord set of all the regular polytopes that can be constructed in the first four dimensions of Euclidean space, except for regular polygons of more than 15 sides.

== The 16-cell 4-orthoplex ==
In 2-space we have the regular 8-point octagon, in 3-space the regular 8-point cube, and in 4-space the regular 8-point [[16-cell]].

A planar octagon with rigid edges of unit length has chords of length:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=1,r_2=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.848,r_3=\sqrt{2}+1 \approx 2.414,r_4=\sqrt{4 + \sqrt{8}} \approx 2.613&lt;/math&gt;

The chord ratio &lt;math&gt;r_3=\sqrt{2}+1&lt;/math&gt; is a geometrical proportion, the [[W:Silver ratio|silver ratio]]. Fontaine and Hurley's procedure for obtaining the reciprocal of a chord tells us that:

:&lt;math&gt;r_3-r_1-r_1=1/r_3 \approx 0.414&lt;/math&gt;

Note that &lt;math&gt;r_3-2=1/r_3=\sqrt{2}-1&lt;/math&gt;. Their procedure rotates counterclockwise over three &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords of an {8/3} octagram. Over the first &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chord the displacement is &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}+1&lt;/math&gt;. Over the second &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chord it moves in the opposite direction a distance of &lt;math&gt;-1&lt;/math&gt; . Over the third &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chord it also moves a distance of &lt;math&gt;-1&lt;/math&gt;. Fontaine and Hurley also demonstrated the significance of &lt;math&gt;1/r_i&lt;/math&gt; in Steinbach's Diagonal Product Formula, which says that every chord length is the sum of certain smaller chord lengths. The smaller chords are certain diagonals of the same regular polygon of smaller edge length, specifically edge length &lt;math&gt;1/r_i&lt;/math&gt; rather than &lt;math&gt;1&lt;/math&gt;.

If we embed the planar octagon in 3-space, we can make it skew, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from three others instead of two others, at the vertices of a unit-edge cube with chords of length:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=1, r_2=\sqrt{2}, r_3=\sqrt{3}, r_4=\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;

If we embed this cube in 4-space, we can skew it some more, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from six others instead of three others, at the vertices of a unit-edge 4-polytope with chords of length:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=1,r_2=1,r_3=1,r_4=\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;

All of its chords except its long diameters are the same unit length as its edge. In fact they are its 24 edges, and it is a 16-cell of radius &lt;math&gt;1/\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;.

[[File:octagon16cell.png|thumb|Orthogonal projection of a regular 16-cell to the [[16-cell#Projections|B&lt;sub&gt;4&lt;/sub&gt; Coxeter plane]]. Only its edges are shown; its long diameter chords are not drawn. All 24 edges are the same length and none lie parallel to the projection plane. The octagon circumference is a Petrie polygon. The two disjoint squares lie in completely orthogonal central planes. The blue octagram is a Clifford polygon. ]]

The [[16-cell]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{3,3,4\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;. It has 8 vertices, 24 edges, 32 equilateral triangle faces, and 16 regular tetrahedron cells. It is the [[16-cell#Octahedral dipyramid|four-dimensional analogue of the octahedron]], and each of its four orthogonal central hyperplanes is an octahedron.

The only planar regular polygons found in the 16-cell are face triangles and central plane squares, but the 16-cell also contains a skew regular octagon, its [[W:Petrie polygon|Petrie polygon]].{{Efn|name=Petrie polygon of a honeycomb}} The chords of this regular octagon, which lies skew in 4-space, are those given above for the 16-cell, as opposed to those for the cube or the regular octagon in the plane. The 16-cell is a construct of 3 Petrie octagons which share the same 8 vertices but have disjoint sets of 8 edges each.

The regular octad has higher symmetry in 4-space than it does in 2-space. The 16-cell is the 4-[[w:Cross-polytope|orthoplex]], the simplest regular 4-polytope after the [[5-cell|4-simplex]]. All the larger regular convex 4-polytopes are compounds of the 16-cell. The regular octagon exhibits this high symmetry only when embedded in 4-space at the vertices of the 16-cell.

The 16-cell constitutes an [[W:Orthonormal basis|orthonormal basis]] for the choice of a 4-dimensional Cartesian reference frame, because its vertices define four orthogonal axes. The eight vertices of a unit-radius 16-cell are (±1, 0, 0, 0), (0, ±1, 0, 0), (0, 0, ±1, 0), (0, 0, 0, ±1). All vertices are connected by &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; edges except opposite pairs. 

The vertex coordinates of the 16-cell form 6 central squares lying in 6 pairwise [[W:Orthogonal|orthogonal]] coordinate planes. Great squares in opposite planes that do not share an axis (e.g. in the ''xy'' and ''wz'' planes) are completely disjoint (they do not intersect at any vertices). These planes are [[W:Completely orthogonal|completely orthogonal]].{{Efn|name=Six orthogonal planes of the Cartesian basis}}

Since the unit-radius coordinate system is convenient, let us derive the unit-radius 16-cell by skewing a unit-radius planar octagon, which has chords of length:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.765,r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.848,r_4=2&lt;/math&gt;

We will need a planar octagon with rigid &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chords, rather than one with rigid &lt;math&gt;r_1&lt;/math&gt; edges. The octagon's &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chords form two disjoint great squares, visible in the orthogonal projection, which we can reposition in 3-space to form a cube by making them parallel, and in 4-space to form a 16-cell by making them completely orthogonal.

Each chord is a distinct 4-vector with a length and a direction. Since the edges of the 16-cell are all the same length &lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{2},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;, those chords are distinct only in the context of a rotation, where vertices circle over the chords of an &lt;math&gt;r_i&lt;/math&gt; polygon. The rotational curve over each &lt;math&gt;r_i&lt;/math&gt; chord makes &lt;math&gt;i&lt;/math&gt; 45° turns. The angle between two &lt;math&gt;r_i&lt;/math&gt; chords is &lt;math&gt;i \times 45^\circ&lt;/math&gt;.

[[File:16-cell-orig.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 8-point 16-cell &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{3,3,4\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; performing a double rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}}]]
[[W:Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space|Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space]] can be seen as the composition of two 2-dimensional rotations in completely orthogonal planes. The general rotation in 4-space is a [[W:SO(4)#Double rotations|double rotation]] in pairs of completely orthogonal planes. Two completely orthogonal planes are called invariant planes of the rotation when all points in the plane rotate on circles that remain in the plane, even as the whole plane tilts sideways (like a coin flipping) into another plane. The two completely orthogonal rotations of each plane (like a wheel, and like a coin flipping) are simultaneous but independent, in that they are not geometrically constrained to turn at the same rate. However, the most circular kind of rotation (as opposed to an elliptical double rotation of a rigid spherical object) occurs when the completely orthogonal planes do rotate through the same angle in the same time interval. Such equi-angled double rotations are called [[w:SO(4)#Isoclinic_rotations|isoclinic]], also [[w:William_Kingdon_Clifford|Clifford]] displacements.

The &lt;math&gt;r_1&lt;/math&gt; chords of the 16-cell form a Petrie polygon {8/1} which zig-zags back and forth, in the left and right rotational directions, between two completely orthogonal great squares formed by &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chords.

The &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chords  form the ''edge polygon'' of the 16-cell {8/2}=2{4}. The two completely orthogonal great squares lie parallel and perpendicular to each other. A ''simple'' rotation of the 16-cell in ''one'' of those two square central planes rotates that square like a wheel, while the other square does not move.{{Efn|name=simple rotations}} The four vertices of the rotating square orbit on a great circle in the plane.

The &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords of the 16-cell form a circular helix, visible as a blue {8/3} octagram in the orthogonal projection. A ''double'' rotation of the 16-cell, in both of two completely orthogonal invariant &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; square planes at once by equal angles, moves the eight vertices along the circular helix over &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords. The vertex motion is a [[w:Geodesic|geodesic]] circle orbit on the 3-sphere of a special kind: it does not lie in a central plane, its [[w:Winding_number|winding number]] is not 1 (it is 3 in this case), its circumference is not &lt;math&gt;2\pi&lt;/math&gt; (it is &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; in this case), and it moves in either a left or right handed circular spiral. We shall refer to such a chiral circle orbit as an ''isocline'', and to the skew polygram of its rotational chords as a ''Clifford polygon''.

The 16-cell is the simplest possible frame in which to [[16-cell#Rotations|observe 4-dimensional rotations]] because its characteristic rotations feature a single pair of invariant rotation planes. In the 16-cell an isoclinic rotation by 90° in any pair of invariant completely orthogonal square central planes takes every great square to its completely orthogonal great square in a twisting displacement, as the invariant planes tilt sideways 90° into each other's plane while rotating 90° internally. All the vertices move at once along the same circular helix geodesic isocline of &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords, displaced 90° in 8 orthogonal directions, and the rigid 16-cell assumes a new orientation in 4-space. When the 90° isoclinic rotation is continued in the same rotational direction through an additional 90°, each vertex is again displaced 90°, but from the new orientation in a direction orthogonal to its first 90° displacement. The rotational curve over each 90° &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chord makes three 45° turns. In 360° of isoclinic rotation over four &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords, each vertex makes six 90° turns and reaches its antipodal position.

The trajectory of each vertex over each 90° isoclinic rotational displacement is a one-eighth segment of its geodesic orbit. Its entire orbit traces an isocline circle in 4-space of circumference &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; over eight &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane twice, over the four &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; edges of a great square in one of the two moving invariant rotation planes. In the course of a 720° isoclinic revolution each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 16-cell returns to its original orientation.

We shall refer to this isoclinic rotation as the ''characteristic rotation of the 16-cell'', and note once again that it is Fontaine and Hurley's counterclockwise rotation over the &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; {8/3} star polygon, which constructs &lt;math&gt;1/r_3&lt;/math&gt;.

== The 8-cell tesseract ==
The long diameter of the unit-edge [[W:Hypercube|hypercube]] of dimension &lt;math&gt;n&lt;/math&gt; is &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{n}&lt;/math&gt;, so the unit-edge [[w:Tesseract|4-hypercube, the 16-point (8-cell) tesseract,]] has chords:
:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;
Uniquely in its 4-dimensional case, the hypercube's edge length equals its radius, like the hexagon. We call such polytopes ''radially equilateral'', because they can be constructed from equilateral triangles which meet at their center, each contributing two radii and an edge. The [[w:Cuboctahedron|cuboctahedron]] and the 24-cell are also radially equilateral.

[[File:8-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 16-point (8-cell) tesseract &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{4,3,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; performing a simple rotation about a plane in 4-space.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}} The stationary plane bisects the figure from front-left to back-right and top to bottom.]]
The [[W:Tesseract|tesseract]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{4,3,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;. It has 16 vertices, 32 edges, 24 square faces, and 8 cube cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the cube.

The 16-point tesseract is the convex hull of a compound of two 8-point 16-cells, in exact dimensional analogy to the way the 8-point cube is the convex hull of a [[W:Stellated octahedron|compound of two 4-point regular tetrahedra]]. The [[W:Demihypercube|demihypercubes]] occupy alternate vertices of the hypercubes. The diagonals of the square faces of the unit-edge, unit-radius tesseract are the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; edges of two unit-radius 16-cells, also the edges of the square central planes.

We can rotate the tesseract isoclinically the way we rotated the 16-cell, by 90° in the characteristic rotation of the 16-cell, with the same effect on both alternate-position 16-cells. In the course of a 720° revolution each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, but it does not visit the vertex positions of the other 16-cell. The two skew {8/3} octagram Clifford polygons lie on two disjoint parallel isoclines of the same chirality, of circumference &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; chords. They form a circular double helix which intersects each vertex of the tesseract once. The double helix is an 8-rung ladder twisted 3 times, then bent into a circle in the fourth dimension. Each rung is a tesseract edge.

The tesseract is the [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]] of the 16-cell. They have the same Petrie polygon, the regular skew octagon, but the tesseract is a construct of 4 Petrie octagons with disjoint sets of 8 tesseract edges each. We can construct the tesseract by skewing two planar octagons. Because the tesseract is radially equilateral (unlike the 16-cell), we use two octagons of unit-edge length to build the unit-radius tesseract. To start we embed the planar octagons in 4-space at the same point and make them completely orthogonal. Then we skew each planar octagon into a cube, so we have a compound of two completely orthogonal cubes, provided we skewed them both in the same direction. The 16 vertices will be the vertices of a tesseract with half its 32 edges missing.

Because the tesseract contains two 16-cells in alternate positions it has two sets of 6 orthogonal square central planes. Two angles are required to specify the relationship between two planes in 4-space. Pairs of square central planes within each 16-cell are 90° apart in one angle, and either 0° or 90° apart in the other angle. They are 90° apart in both angles if and only if they are completely orthogonal planes, 90° apart by isoclinic rotation, with no vertices in common. Otherwise they are 0° apart in one of the angles, 90° apart by simple rotation, and they intersect in one axis and lie in a common 3-dimensional hyperplane.{{Efn|A double rotation in which one of the two angles of rotation is 0°, so that one of the completely orthogonal invariant planes does not rotate, is called a simple rotation. Ordinary rotations observed in a 3-dimensional space are simple rotations.|name=simple rotations}}

A pair of square central planes from alternate-position 16-cells are 60° apart by isoclinic rotation, with their corresponding vertices 120° apart. The planes are not orthogonal or parallel, so they intersect in a line somewhere, but they have no vertices in common, they have no 3-dimensional hyperplane in common, and they cannot reach each other by simple rotation. Such pairs of objects are called [[W:Clifford parallel|Clifford parallel]] because all their corresponding pairs of vertices are the same distance apart, although they are not parallel in the usual sense, because they have a common center. Not only the alternate-position 16-cells' corresponding square central planes, but also the 16-cells themselves, are Clifford parallel objects. More generally, multiple disjoint instances of a 4-polytope which compound to make a larger 4-polytope are Clifford parallel objects.

== The 24-cell ==
[[File:24-cell vertex geometry.png|thumb|Planar geometry of the radially equilateral 24-cell, showing its 3 great circle polygons and its 4 chord lengths.]]
In 2-space we have the radially equilateral 6-point hexagon. In 3-space we have the radially equilateral 12-point cuboctahedron, with 4 hexagonal central planes. In 4-space we have the radially equilateral 24-point 24-cell, with 12 cuboctahedron central hyperplanes and 16 hexagonal central planes.

The [[24-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{3,4,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;. It has 24 vertices, 96 edges, 96 equilateral triangle faces, and 24 octahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the cuboctahedron.

The 24-cell has the same chord set as the 4-hypercube tesseract:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;

[[Image:24-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 24-point 24-cell &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{3,4,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; performing a simple rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}} The 3-dimensional surface made of 24 octahedra is visible.]]
The 24-cell is [[W:Dual polytope|self-dual]], like the regular polygons and regular simplexes. It is the maximal regular construct of triangles and squares (with no pentagons). It is the convex hull of a compound of three disjoint 8-point 16-cells, rotated 60° isoclinically with respect to each other. Each of the three pairs of 16-cells is a tesseract. Each 24-cell edge is also a tesseract edge. The corresponding vertices of two 16-cells or two tesseracts are 120° apart by a &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chord. Each tesseract has 8 cube cells, and each cube has four &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; long diameters. The &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chords joining the corresponding vertices of two tesseracts belong to the third tesseract as cell long diameters.

The 24-cell's Petrie polygon is the regular dodecagon {12}, which has chords:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\tfrac{\sqrt{3}-1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.518,r_2=\sqrt{1},r_3=\sqrt{2},r_4=\sqrt{3},r_5=\tfrac{\sqrt{3}+1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.932,r_6=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;

Fontaine and Hurley's procedure for obtaining the reciprocal of a chord tells us that: 

:&lt;math&gt;r_5-r_3+r_1+r_1-r_3=1/r_5&lt;/math&gt;

when &lt;math&gt;r_1=1&lt;/math&gt;. The procedure rotates counterclockwise over five &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; chords of a {12/5} dodecagram. In the system of unit-radius coordinates &lt;math&gt;r_1=1/r_5&lt;/math&gt;.

The &lt;math&gt;r_1&lt;/math&gt; and &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; chords of the planar dodecagon do not occur in the 24-cell, which is a construct of eight skew dodecagons with disjoint sets of twelve &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt; edges each. In the skew dodecagons the chord lengths are:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{1},r_3=\sqrt{2},r_4=\sqrt{3},r_5=\sqrt{3},r_6=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;

Where chords are the same length, they are distinct only in the context of a rotation.

In a unit-radius 24-cell, all black lines are 24-cell edges of unit length, also tesseract edges. The two disjoint hexagons lie in Clifford parallel central planes. Blue chords are &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; 16-cell edges of Clifford parallel great squares, also isocline chords in great square rotations. Green chords are &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; distances between corresponding vertices of two 16-cells, also isocline chords in great hexagon rotations. The green {12/5} dodecagram is a Clifford polygon.]]
[[File:Regular_star_figure_3(8,3).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/9}=3{8/3} &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;]]
We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in Clifford parallel invariant planes containing 16-cell edges, for example in the characteristic rotation of the 16-cell, with the same effect on all three 16-cells. In 720° each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, but it does not visit the vertex positions of the other 16-cells. The rotational curve over each 90° &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; chord makes three 45° turns. Three Clifford parallel {8/3} octagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; chords form a circular triple helix {24/9}=3{8/3} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once. The triple helix is an 8-step circular staircase that twists around 3 times, and is bent into a torus in the fourth dimension. Each staircase step is a great triangle of &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; chords.

We can also rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in Clifford parallel invariant planes containing 24-cell edges. A complete 24-cell great circle edge plane revolution requires 720° like a complete 16-cell great circle edge plane revolution, but it is completed in 12 isoclinic displacements of 60° each rather than 8 isoclinic displacements of 90° each.  An isoclinic rotation by 60° in any invariant central plane containing a 24-cell edge takes every great hexagon to a Clifford parallel great hexagon in a twisting displacement, as all the invariant planes tilt sideways 60° while rotating 60° internally. It also takes every great square to a Clifford parallel great square. All 24 vertices move at once on Clifford parallel geodesic isoclines, displaced 120° in different directions. The trajectory of each vertex over each 60° rotational displacement is a one-twelfth segment of its geodesic orbit, and its entire orbit traces an isocline circle in 4-space over &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chords. There are two distinct ways we can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in invariant planes containing 24-cell edges, called the ''characteristic left rotation'' and the ''characteristic right rotation'', respectively.

[[File:Regular star figure 2(12,5).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/10}=2{12/5} shows 2 dodecagram isoclines of &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; chords in the 24-cell]]
We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in 12 Clifford parallel invariant planes containing two &lt;math&gt;r_{1}&lt;/math&gt; edges each, over &lt;math&gt;r_{5}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. This is the ''characteristic left rotation of the 24-cell'', also Fontaine and Hurley's counterclockwise rotation over the &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; 2{12/5} star polygon which constructs &lt;math&gt;1/r_5&lt;/math&gt;. The rotational curve over each 120° &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; chord makes five 30° turns. Two Clifford parallel {12/5} dodecagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;10\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular double helix {24/10}=2{12/5} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once. The orbit of each vertex traces an isocline circle in 4-space over 12 &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane 5 times in a moving invariant rotation plane. In the course of a 720° revolution each vertex departs from 12 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 24-cell returns to its original orientation. 

[[File:Regular_star_figure_8(3,1).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/8}=8{3}&lt;small&gt; &lt;/small&gt;shows 8 of 32&lt;small&gt; &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; triangles in the 24-cell]]
We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in 4 Clifford parallel invariant great hexagon planes containing six &lt;math&gt;r_{2}&lt;/math&gt; edges each, over &lt;math&gt;r_{4}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. This is the ''characteristic right rotation of the 24-cell'', also Fontaine and Hurley's counterclockwise rotation over the &lt;math&gt;r_4&lt;/math&gt; 8{3} star polygon which constructs &lt;math&gt;1/r_4&lt;/math&gt;. The rotational curve over each 120° &lt;math&gt;r_4&lt;/math&gt; chord makes four 30° turns.  Eight Clifford parallel triangle geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;2\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;r_4&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular fibration of 8 twisted parallel strands {24/8}=8{3} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once. In three successive 60° isoclinic displacements each vertex circles a triangle and returns to its original position, but the 24-cell returns to its original orientation only after each vertex has completed circuits of the four distinct triangles which intersect at the vertex. The isocline curves over a self-intersecting dodecagram of 12 &lt;math&gt;r_4&lt;/math&gt; chords.

By examining the chords &lt;math&gt;r_i&lt;/math&gt; of the 24-cell's Petrie {12}-gon we found three distinct isoclinic rotations. If we examine the chords &lt;math&gt;t_i&lt;/math&gt; of the 24-cell's {24}-gon we find these and also three other distinct isoclinic rotations.  

Each row of the table is a distinct isoclinic rotation of the 24-cell characterized by a pair of chords that sum to 180°. The edge chords form the rotation's edge {24}-gon, and lie in invariant planes of the rotation. The isocline chords form the rotation's Clifford {24}-gon and lie in the invariant planes completely orthogonal to the edge planes. The rotational angle between successive edge chords and the rotational angle between successive isocline chords also sum to 180°.  

We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in Clifford parallel invariant planes containing 16-cell edges in 6 Clifford parallel invariant great square planes containing four &lt;math&gt;t_{6}&lt;/math&gt; edges each, over &lt;math&gt;t_{6}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. The &lt;math&gt;t_6&lt;/math&gt; chord is the 16-cell-&lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chord. The edge polygon and the Clifford polygon are both {24/6}=6{4}. This is the ''characteristic right rotation of the 24-cell''.  

The rotational curve over each 90° &lt;math&gt;t_6&lt;/math&gt; chord makes six 15° turns.  Six Clifford parallel skew triangle geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;2\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;t_6&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular fibration of six twisted parallel strands that intersects each 24-cell vertex once. &lt;s&gt;In every 360° of isoclinic rotation each vertex circles a skew great square and returns to its original position, but the 24-cell returns to its original orientation only after each vertex has completed circuits of the three distinct skew squares which intersect at the vertex and the three distinct skew squares which intersect at its antipodal vertex. The isocline curves over a self-intersecting {24}-gon of &lt;math&gt;t_6&lt;/math&gt; chords.&lt;/s&gt;

The 600-cell rounds out the 24-cell by adding 96 more vertices (four more disjoint 24-cells) between the 24-cell's existing 24 vertices, in effect adding twenty-four more distinct 24-cells inscribed in the 600-cell. The new surface thus formed is a honeycomb of smaller, more numerous cells: tetrahedra of edge length &lt;math&gt;\phi^{-1} \approx 0.618&lt;/math&gt; instead of octahedra of edge length &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt;. It encloses the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt; edges of the 24-cells, which become invisible interior chords in the 600-cell, like the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; and &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chords.

Since the tetrahedra are made of shorter triangle edges than the octahedra (by a factor of &lt;math&gt;\phi^{-1}&lt;/math&gt;, the inverse golden ratio), the 600-cell is not radially equilateral like the 24-cell and the tesseract. Like them it is radially triangular in a special way, but one in which [[w:Golden_triangle_(mathematics)|golden triangles]] rather than equilateral triangles meet at the center.

In 2-space we have the ''radially golden'' [[W:Decagon#The golden ratio in decagon|regular decagon]]. In 3-space we have the radially golden 30-point [[W:icosidodecahedron|icosidodecahedron]], with 6 decagon central planes. In 4-space we have the radially golden 120-point 600-cell, with 60 icosidodecahedron central hyperplanes and 72 decagon central planes.

The 600-cell's Petrie polygon is the regular [[w:Triacontagon|triacontagon {30}]]. The unit-radius planar {30}-gon has these distinct chords:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=2 \sin (\tfrac{\pi}{15}/2) \approx 0.209&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_2=2 \sin (\tfrac{2\pi}{15}/2) \approx 0.416&lt;/math&gt;

:&lt;math&gt;r_6=2 \sin (\tfrac{2\pi}{5}/2)=\sqrt{3-\phi} \approx 1.176&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_7=2 \sin (\tfrac{7\pi}{15}/2) \approx 1.338&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_8=2 \cos (\tfrac{7\pi}{15}/2) \approx 1.486&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_9=2 \sin (\tfrac{3\pi}{5}/2)=\phi \approx 1.618&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{10}=2 \sin (\tfrac{2\pi}{3}/2)=\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{11}=2 \cos (\tfrac{4\pi}{15}/2) \approx 1.827&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{12}=2 \sin (\tfrac{4\pi}{5}/2)=\sqrt{2+\phi} \approx 1.902&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{13}=2 \cos (\tfrac{2\pi}{15}/2) \approx 1.956&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{14}=2 \cos (\tfrac{\pi}{15}/2) \approx 1.989&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{15}=2 \sin (\pi/2)=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;

Only the chord lengths &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_6&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_9&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_{10}&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_{12}&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_{15}&lt;/math&gt; occur in the 600-cell, which is a construct of 24 Petrie {30}-gons of edge length &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt;, six of which intersect in each icosahedral vertex figure. In the skew {30}-gons the chord lengths are:

:&lt;math&gt;r_{15}=2 \sin (\pi/2)=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;

Where chords are the same length, they are distinct only in the context of a rotation.

The list of 600-cell chords &lt;math&gt;r_{i}&lt;/math&gt; can be rearranged into a table of 8 rows and 2 columns with a pair of 180° complements in each row. The short chord and long chord each have their characteristic {30/n}-gon. Each row identifies a discrete isoclinic rotation of the 600-cell in invariant central planes containing the edges of the short chord {30}-gon, over the isocline chords of the long chord {30}-gon, the rotation's Clifford polygon.

Each distinct pair of complementary chord lengths is identified with a distinct [[w:600-cell#Polyhedral sections|polyhedral section of the 600-cell]] beginning with a vertex. In spherical [[w:3-sphere|3-dimensional space &lt;math&gt;\mathbb{S}^3&lt;/math&gt;]], every vertex is the center of a set of 7 concentric polyhedra of increasing radii that nest like [[w:Matryoshka_doll|Russian dolls.]] The smallest polyhedral section at radial distance &lt;math&gt;\phi^{-1}&lt;/math&gt; is a icosahedron vertex figure, and the largest section at radial distance &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; is an [[W:Icosidodecahedron|icosidodecahedron]] central section bisecting the 600-cell. Because  [[w:3-sphere|&lt;math&gt;\mathbb{S}^3&lt;/math&gt;]] is spherical, at radial distances greater than &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; the successive complement-radius polyhedra decrease in size, to the antipodal icosahedron vertex figure at distance &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2+\phi}&lt;/math&gt;. In Euclidean 4-dimensional space &lt;math&gt;\mathbb{R}^4&lt;/math&gt;, every vertex is the apex of 7 [[w:Hyperpyramid|polyhedral pyramids]], where the pyramid's lateral edge length is the radial distance and its base polyhedron is the section. Each section lies parallel to a congruent complement-radius section (or coincident with it, in the case of the central section).

[[File:Regular_star_figure_3(8,3).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/9}=3{8/3} &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;]]
We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in the great square rotation characteristic of the 16-cell,  with the same effect on 15 disjoint 16-cells. Each 90° displacement takes 15 pairs of completely orthogonal invariant great square planes to each other. In the course of a 720° revolution each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, without visiting other vertex positions. The rotational curve over each 90° chord makes three 45° turns. Fifteen Clifford parallel {8/3} octagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular fibration of 15 twisted parallel strands 5{24/9}=15{8/3} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.

The 600-cell has another distinct isoclinic rotation in invariant great square planes, which has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. This [''great square left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell]'' takes place over &lt;math&gt;r_7&lt;/math&gt; edge chords and &lt;math&gt;r_8&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. The {30/7} edge polygon is a skew helix of circumference &lt;math&gt;14\pi&lt;/math&gt; with each &lt;math&gt;r_7&lt;/math&gt; edge belonging to a distinct great square. The four {30/7} polygrams contribute one edge each to 30 great squares. Each 90° displacement takes every 16-cell to another 16-cell. The vertices of the invariant great squares each make seven orbits on a great circle within the moving invariant plane in the course of one complete revolution. The rotational curve over each 90° {30/7} edge makes seven 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/7} geodesics of circumference &lt;math&gt;16\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. The {30/8}=2{15/4} Clifford polygon is a compound of two skew {15/4} pentadecagrams of circumference &lt;math&gt;16\pi&lt;/math&gt; with each &lt;math&gt;r_8&lt;/math&gt; isocline chord belonging to a distinct 16-cell. The four {30/8} polygrams contribute one edge each to 30 great squares. The rotational curve over each 90° {30/8} isocline chord makes eight 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/8} geodesics of circumference &lt;math&gt;16\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.

[[File:Regular star figure 2(12,5).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/10}=2{12/5} &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; ]]
We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in the great hexagon rotation characteristic of the 24-cell, over &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt; edge chords and &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords, with the same effect on 5 disjoint 24-cells. In the course of a 720° revolution each vertex departs from 12 vertex positions of its 24-cell just once and returns to its original position, without visiting other vertex positions. Ten Clifford parallel {12/5} dodecagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;10\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular fibration of ten twisted parallel strands 5{24/10}=10{12/5} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. 

The 600-cell has another distinct isoclinic rotation in invariant great hexagon planes, over &lt;math&gt;r_{4}=\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt; edge chords and &lt;math&gt;r_{11}=\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords This [''invariant great hexagon left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell]'' has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. Its {30/11} Clifford polygon is a skew helix where each &lt;math&gt;r_{11}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chord is the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; diagonal of a great hexagon of a distinct 24-cell. The vertices of the invariant great hexagons of this rotation each make eleven orbits on a great circle within the moving invariant plane in the course of one complete revolution. The rotational curve over each 120° &lt;math&gt;r_{11}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chord makes eleven 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/11} geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;22\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;r_{11}&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. 

We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in 12 Clifford parallel invariant decagon central planes containing its 36° &lt;math&gt;r_{3}&lt;/math&gt; edges, over 144° &lt;math&gt;r_{12}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. This ''invariant great decagon rotation characteristic of the 600-cell'' has period 5 and takes disjoint 24-cells to each other. The rotational curve over each &lt;math&gt;r_{12}&lt;/math&gt; chord of its {5/2} Clifford polygon makes twelve 12° turns. 24 Clifford parallel {5/2} pentagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;4\pi&lt;/math&gt; over five &lt;math&gt;r_{12}&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular fibration of 24 twisted parallel strands 4{30/12}=24{5/2} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. 

The rotation of the 600-cell by 36° in any invariant decagon central plane takes every great decagon to a Clifford parallel great decagon in a twisting displacement, as all the central planes tilt sideways 36° while rotating 36° internally. It also takes every great hexagon to a Clifford parallel great hexagon, and every great square to a Clifford parallel great square. The 24-cells revolve within the 600-cell, as the 16-cells revolve within the 24-cells. All 120 vertices move at once on four Clifford parallel geodesic isoclines, displaced 144° in different directions.

The 600-cell has another distinct isoclinic rotation in invariant great decagon planes containing its 36° &lt;math&gt;r_{2}&lt;/math&gt; edges, over 144° &lt;math&gt;r_{13}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. This [''great decagon left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell]'' has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. The rotational curve over each 144° &lt;math&gt;r_{13}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chord makes thirteen 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/13} geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;26\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.

The [[User:Dc.samizdat/Golden chords of the 120-cell#Thirty distinguished distances|list of thirty 120-cell chords]] &lt;math&gt;c_{t}&lt;/math&gt; can be rearranged into a table of 16 rows and 2 columns with a pair of 180° complements in each row. This table first appears in [[w:Regular_Polytopes_(book)|''Regular Polytopes'']] (1947),{{Sfn|Coxeter|1973|loc=Table V(v): Simplified sections of {5,3,3} beginning with a vertex|pp=300-301}} where Coxeter identified each row with a distinct [[w:120-cell#Concentric_hulls|polyhedral section of the 120-cell]] beginning with a vertex. In spherical [[w:3-sphere|3-dimensional space &lt;math&gt;\mathbb{S}^3&lt;/math&gt;]], every vertex is the center of a set of 29 concentric polyhedra of increasing radii that nest like [[w:Matryoshka_doll|Russian dolls.]] The smallest polyhedral section at radial distance &lt;math&gt;c_1&lt;/math&gt; is a tetrahedron vertex figure, and the largest section at radial distance &lt;math&gt;c_{15}&lt;/math&gt; is a central section bisecting the 120-cell. Because  [[w:3-sphere|&lt;math&gt;\mathbb{S}^3&lt;/math&gt;]] is spherical, at radial distances greater than &lt;math&gt;c_{15}&lt;/math&gt; the successive complement-radius polyhedra decrease in size, to the antipodal tetrahedron vertex figure at distance &lt;math&gt;c_{29}&lt;/math&gt;. In Euclidean 4-dimensional space &lt;math&gt;\mathbb{R}^4&lt;/math&gt;, every vertex is the apex of 29 [[w:Hyperpyramid|polyhedral pyramids]], where the pyramid's lateral edge length is the radial distance and its base polyhedron is the section. Each section lies parallel to a congruent complement-radius section (or coincident with it, in the case of the central section). Each section also lies completely orthogonal to a congruent section. 

Only 8 of the 30 chords in the table occur in the 600-cell and the planar {30)-gon. The 120-cell's additional chords arise originally from the regular 5-cell, in its interaction with the other regular 4-polytopes that compound to make the 120-cell. Since all those polytopes except the 5-cell occur in the 600-cell, and the 600-cell and the 120-cell have the same symmetry group, the 5-cell's symmetry group is what's new in the 120-cell.

== Finally the 120-cell ==
The [[120-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{5,3,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;. It has 600 vertices, 1200 edges, 720 pentagon faces, and 120 dodecahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the dodecahedron.

The 120-cell is the [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]] of the 600-cell. They have the same Petrie polygon, the regular skew triacontagon {30}, but the 120-cell is a construct of 40 Petrie {30}-gons of edge length &lt;math&gt;c_1&lt;/math&gt;, two of which intersect in each tetrahedral vertex figure.

== Conclusions ==

Fontaine and Hurley's discovery is more than a geometric formula for the reciprocal of a regular ''n''-polygon diagonal. It also yields the discrete sequence of isocline chords of the characteristic isoclinic rotation of a ''d''-dimensional polytope in its invariant edge planes. The characteristic rotational chord sequence of the ''d''-polytope can be represented geometrically in two dimensions on a distinct star polygon, but it lies on a geodesic circle through ''d''-dimensional space. Fontaine and Hurley discovered the geodesic topology of polytopes generally. Their procedure will reveal the geodesics of arbitrary non-uniform polytopes, since it can be applied to a polytope of any dimensionality and irregularity, by first fitting the polytope to the smallest regular polygon whose chords include its chords. [If what is meant by this is its Petrie polygon, it is not quite necessary or possible with respect to the planar polygon chords, e.g. the planar Petrie polygon of the 600-cell does not contain the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; chord. But perhaps it would work if the fit is to the smallest regular skew polygon in the ''d''-space.]

The discovery of a chordal construction for discrete isoclinic rotations generally closes the circuit on Kappraff and Adamson's discovery of a rotational connection between dynamical systems, Steinbach's golden fields, and Coxeter's Euclidean geometry of ''n'' dimensions. Application of the Fontaine and Hurley procedure in the 120-cell demonstrates why the connection exists: because polytope sequences generally, from Steinbach's golden chord sequences in polygons, to sequences of star polygons in isoclinic rotations, to subsumption relations in the sequence of regular 4-polytopes, arise as expressions of the reflections and rotations of distinct Coxeter symmetry groups, when those various groups interact.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Steinbach discovered the formula for the ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. Fontaine and Hurley extended this result, discovering a formula for the reciprocal of a regular polygon chord derived geometrically from the chord's star polygon. We observe that these findings in plane geometry apply more generally, to polytopes of any dimensionality. Fontaine and Hurley's geometric procedure for finding the reciprocals of the chords of a regular polygon from their star polygons also finds the rotational geodesics of any polytope of any dimensionality.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
== Introduction ==
Steinbach discovered the Diagonal Product Formula and the Golden Fields family of ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. He showed how this family extends beyond the pentagon {5} with its well-known golden bisection proportional to 𝜙, finding that the heptagon {7} has an analogous trisection, the nonagon {9} has an analogous quadrasection, and the hendecagon {11} has an analogous pentasection, an extended family of golden proportions with quasiperiodic properties. 

Kappraff and Adamson extended these findings in plane geometry to a theory of Generalized Fibonacci Sequences, showing that the Golden Fields not only do not end with the hendecagon, they form an infinite number of periodic trajectories when operated on by the Mandelbrot operator. They found a relation between the edges of star polygons and dynamical systems in the state of chaos, revealing a connection between chaos theory, number, and rotations in Coxeter Euclidean geometry. 

Fontaine and Hurley examined Steinbach's finding that the length of each chord of a regular polygon is both the product of two chords and the sum of a set of smaller chords, so that in rotations to add is to multiply. They illustrated Steinbach's sets of additive chords lying parallel to each other in the plane (pointing in the same direction), and by applying Steinbach's formula more generally they found another summation relation of signed parallel chords (pointing in opposite directions) which relates each chord length to its reciprocal, and relates the summation to a distinct star polygon rotation. 

We examine these remarkable findings (which stem from study of the chords of humble regular polygons) in higher-dimensional spaces, specifically in the chords, polygons and rotations of the [[120-cell]], the largest four-dimensional regular convex polytope.

[[120-cell#Geometry|The 120-cell is the maximally complex regular 4-polytope]], containing inscribed instances of every regular 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-polytope, except the regular polygons of more than {15} sides. 

The 120-cell is the convex hull of a regular [[120-cell#Relationships among interior polytopes|compound of each of the 6 regular convex 4-polytopes]]. They are the [[5-cell|5-point (5-cell) 4-simplex]], the [[16-cell|8-point (16-cell) 4-orthoplex]], the [[W:Tesseract|16-point (8-cell) tesseract]], the [[24-cell|24-point (24-cell)]], the [[600-cell|120-point (600-cell)]], and the [[120-cell|600-point (120-cell)]]. The 120-cell is the convex hull of a compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells, of 75 disjoint 16-cells, of 25 disjoint 24-cells, and of 5 disjoint 600-cells.

The 120-cell contains an even larger inventory of irregular polytopes, created by the intersection of multiple instances of these component regular 4-polytopes. Many are quite unexpected, because they do not occur as components of any regular polytope smaller than the 120-cell. As just one example among the [[120-cell#Concentric hulls|sections of the 120-cell]], there is an irregular 24-point polyhedron with 16 triangle faces and 4 nonagon {9} faces.{{Sfn|Moxness|}}

Most renderings of the 120-cell, like the rotating projection here, only illustrate its outer surface, which is a honeycomb of face-bonded dodecahedral cells. Only the objects in its 3-dimensional surface are rendered, namely the 120 dodecahedra, their pentagon faces, and their edges. Although the 120-cell has chords of 30 distinct lengths, in this kind of simplified rendering only the 120-cell's own edges (its shortest chord) are shown. Its 29 interior chords, the edges of objects in the interior of the 120-cell, are not rendered, so interior objects are not visible at all.

Visualizing the complete interior of the 600-vertex 120-cell in a single image is impractical because of its complexity. Only four 120-cell edges are incident at each vertex, but [[120-cell#Chords|600 chords (of all 30 lengths)]] are incident at ''each'' vertex.

== Compounds in the 120-cell ==
The 8-point (16-cell), not the 5-point (5-cell), is the smallest building block; it compounds to every larger regular 4-polytope. The 5-point (5-cell) does compound to the 600-point (120-cell), but it does not fit into any smaller regular 4-polytope. 

The 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 2 in the 16-point (8-cell), and by 3 in the 24-point (24-cell). The 16-point (8-cell) compounds in the 24-point (24-cell) by 3 non-disjoint instances of itself, with each of the 24 vertices shared by two 16-point (8-cells). The 24-point (24-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell), and the 120-point (600-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell).

The 24-point (24-cell) also compounds by 5&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; non-disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell); it compounds in 5 disjoint instances of itself, 10 (not 5) different ways. Whichever set of 5 disjoint 24-point (24-cells) are assembled, the resulting 120-point (600-cell) contains 25 distinct 24-point (24-cells), not just 5 (or 10). This implies that 15 disjoint 8-point (16-cells) will construct a 120-point (600-cell), which will contain 75 distinct 8-point (16-cells). 

The 600-point (120-cell) is 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), just 2 different ways (not 5 or 10 ways), so it is 10 distinct 120-point (600-cells). This implies that the 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 3 times 5&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; (75) disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell), which contains 3&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; times  5&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; (225) distinct instances of the 24-point (24-cell), and  3&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt; times 5&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; (675) distinct instances of the 8-point (16-cell). 

These facts were discovered painstakingly by various researchers, and no one has found a general rule governing subsumption relations among regular polytopes. The reasons for some of their numeric incidence relations are far from obvious. [[W:Pieter Hendrik Schoute|Schoute]] was the first to see that the 120-point (600-cell) is a compound of 5 24-point (24-cells) ''10 different ways'', and after he saw it a hundred years lapsed until Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler &amp; Claiborne proved his result, and showed why.{{Sfn|Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler &amp; Claiborne|2020|loc=''The geometry of H4 polytopes''}}

So much for the compounds of 16-cells. The 120-cell is also the convex hull of the compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells. That stellated compound (without its convex hull of 120-cell edges) is the [[w:Great_grand_stellated_120-cell|great grand stellated 120-cell]] illustrated above, the final regular [[W:Stellation|stellation]] of the 120-cell, and the only [[W:Schläfli-Hess polychoron|regular star 4-polytope]] to have the 120-cell for its convex hull. The edges of the great grand stellated 120-cell are &lt;math&gt;\phi^6&lt;/math&gt; as long as those of its 120-cell [[W:List of polyhedral stellations#Stellation process|stellation core]] deep inside.

The compound of 120 disjoint 5-point (5-cells) can be seen to be equivalent to the compound of 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), as follows. Beginning with a single 120-point (600-cell), expand each vertex into a regular 5-cell, by adding 4 new equidistant vertices, such that the 5 vertices form a regular 5-cell inscribed in the 3-sphere. The 120 5-cells are disjoint, and the 600 vertices form 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells): a 120-cell.

== Thirty distinguished distances ==
The 30 numbers listed in the table are all-important in Euclidean geometry. A case can be made on symmetry grounds that their squares are the 30 most important numbers between 0 and 4. The 30 rows of the table are the 30 distinct [[120-cell#Geodesic rectangles|chord lengths of the unit-radius 120-cell]], the largest regular convex 4-polytope. Since the 120-cell subsumes all smaller regular polytopes, its 30 chords are the complete chord set of all the regular polytopes that can be constructed in the first four dimensions of Euclidean space, except for regular polygons of more than 15 sides.

== The 16-cell 4-orthoplex ==
In 2-space we have the regular 8-point octagon, in 3-space the regular 8-point cube, and in 4-space the regular 8-point [[16-cell]].

A planar octagon with rigid edges of unit length has chords of length:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=1,r_2=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.848,r_3=\sqrt{2}+1 \approx 2.414,r_4=\sqrt{4 + \sqrt{8}} \approx 2.613&lt;/math&gt;

The chord ratio &lt;math&gt;r_3=\sqrt{2}+1&lt;/math&gt; is a geometrical proportion, the [[W:Silver ratio|silver ratio]]. Fontaine and Hurley's procedure for obtaining the reciprocal of a chord tells us that:

:&lt;math&gt;r_3-r_1-r_1=1/r_3 \approx 0.414&lt;/math&gt;

Note that &lt;math&gt;r_3-2=1/r_3=\sqrt{2}-1&lt;/math&gt;. Their procedure rotates counterclockwise over three &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords of an {8/3} octagram. Over the first &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chord the displacement is &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}+1&lt;/math&gt;. Over the second &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chord it moves in the opposite direction a distance of &lt;math&gt;-1&lt;/math&gt; . Over the third &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chord it also moves a distance of &lt;math&gt;-1&lt;/math&gt;. Fontaine and Hurley also demonstrated the significance of &lt;math&gt;1/r_i&lt;/math&gt; in Steinbach's Diagonal Product Formula, which says that every chord length is the sum of certain smaller chord lengths. The smaller chords are certain diagonals of the same regular polygon of a smaller edge length, specifically edge length &lt;math&gt;1/r_i&lt;/math&gt; rather than &lt;math&gt;1&lt;/math&gt;.

If we embed the planar octagon in 3-space, we can make it skew, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from three others instead of two others, at the vertices of a unit-edge cube with chords of length:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=1, r_2=\sqrt{2}, r_3=\sqrt{3}, r_4=\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;

If we embed this cube in 4-space, we can skew it some more, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from six others instead of three others, at the vertices of a unit-edge 4-polytope with chords of length:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=1,r_2=1,r_3=1,r_4=\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;

All of its chords except its long diameters are the same unit length as its edge. In fact they are its 24 edges, and it is a 16-cell of radius &lt;math&gt;1/\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;.

[[File:octagon16cell.png|thumb|Orthogonal projection of a regular 16-cell to the [[16-cell#Projections|B&lt;sub&gt;4&lt;/sub&gt; Coxeter plane]]. Only its edges are shown; its long diameter chords are not drawn. All 24 edges are the same length and none lie parallel to the projection plane. The octagon circumference is a Petrie polygon. The two disjoint squares lie in completely orthogonal central planes. The blue octagram is a Clifford polygon. ]]

The [[16-cell]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{3,3,4\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;. It has 8 vertices, 24 edges, 32 equilateral triangle faces, and 16 regular tetrahedron cells. It is the [[16-cell#Octahedral dipyramid|four-dimensional analogue of the octahedron]], and each of its four orthogonal central hyperplanes is an octahedron.

The only planar regular polygons found in the 16-cell are face triangles and central plane squares, but the 16-cell also contains a skew regular octagon, its [[W:Petrie polygon|Petrie polygon]].{{Efn|name=Petrie polygon of a honeycomb}} The chords of this regular octagon, which lies skew in 4-space, are those given above for the 16-cell, as opposed to those for the cube or the regular octagon in the plane. The 16-cell is a construct of 3 Petrie octagons which share the same 8 vertices but have disjoint sets of 8 edges each.

The regular octad has higher symmetry in 4-space than it does in 2-space. The 16-cell is the 4-[[w:Cross-polytope|orthoplex]], the simplest regular 4-polytope after the [[5-cell|4-simplex]]. All the larger regular convex 4-polytopes are compounds of the 16-cell. The regular octagon exhibits this high symmetry only when embedded in 4-space at the vertices of the 16-cell.

The 16-cell constitutes an [[W:Orthonormal basis|orthonormal basis]] for the choice of a 4-dimensional Cartesian reference frame, because its vertices define four orthogonal axes. The eight vertices of a unit-radius 16-cell are (±1, 0, 0, 0), (0, ±1, 0, 0), (0, 0, ±1, 0), (0, 0, 0, ±1). All vertices are connected by &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; edges except opposite pairs. 

The vertex coordinates of the 16-cell form 6 central squares lying in 6 pairwise [[W:Orthogonal|orthogonal]] coordinate planes. Great squares in opposite planes that do not share an axis (e.g. in the ''xy'' and ''wz'' planes) are completely disjoint (they do not intersect at any vertices). These planes are [[W:Completely orthogonal|completely orthogonal]].{{Efn|name=Six orthogonal planes of the Cartesian basis}}

Since the unit-radius coordinate system is convenient, let us derive the unit-radius 16-cell by skewing a unit-radius planar octagon, which has chords of length:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.765,r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.848,r_4=2&lt;/math&gt;

We will need a planar octagon with rigid &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chords, rather than one with rigid &lt;math&gt;r_1&lt;/math&gt; edges. The octagon's &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chords form two disjoint great squares, visible in the orthogonal projection, which we can reposition in 3-space to form a cube by making them parallel, and in 4-space to form a 16-cell by making them completely orthogonal.

Each chord is a distinct 4-vector with a length and a direction. Since the edges of the 16-cell are all the same length &lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{2},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;, those chords are distinct only in the context of a rotation, where vertices circle over the chords of an &lt;math&gt;r_i&lt;/math&gt; polygon. The rotational curve over each &lt;math&gt;r_i&lt;/math&gt; chord makes &lt;math&gt;i&lt;/math&gt; 45° turns. The angle between two &lt;math&gt;r_i&lt;/math&gt; chords is &lt;math&gt;i \times 45^\circ&lt;/math&gt;.

[[File:16-cell-orig.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 8-point 16-cell &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{3,3,4\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; performing a double rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}}]]
[[W:Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space|Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space]] can be seen as the composition of two 2-dimensional rotations in completely orthogonal planes. The general rotation in 4-space is a [[W:SO(4)#Double rotations|double rotation]] in pairs of completely orthogonal planes. Two completely orthogonal planes are called invariant planes of the rotation when all points in the plane rotate on circles that remain in the plane, even as the whole plane tilts sideways (like a coin flipping) into another plane. The two completely orthogonal rotations of each plane (like a wheel, and like a coin flipping) are simultaneous but independent, in that they are not geometrically constrained to turn at the same rate. However, the most circular kind of rotation (as opposed to an elliptical double rotation of a rigid spherical object) occurs when the completely orthogonal planes do rotate through the same angle in the same time interval. Such equi-angled double rotations are called [[w:SO(4)#Isoclinic_rotations|isoclinic]], also [[w:William_Kingdon_Clifford|Clifford]] displacements.

The &lt;math&gt;r_1&lt;/math&gt; chords of the 16-cell form a Petrie polygon {8/1} which zig-zags back and forth, in the left and right rotational directions, between two completely orthogonal great squares formed by &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chords.

The &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chords  form the ''edge polygon'' of the 16-cell {8/2}=2{4}. The two completely orthogonal great squares lie parallel and perpendicular to each other. A ''simple'' rotation of the 16-cell in ''one'' of those two square central planes rotates that square like a wheel, while the other square does not move.{{Efn|name=simple rotations}} The four vertices of the rotating square orbit on a great circle in the plane.

The &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords of the 16-cell form a circular helix, visible as a blue {8/3} octagram in the orthogonal projection. A ''double'' rotation of the 16-cell, in both of two completely orthogonal invariant &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; square planes at once by equal angles, moves the eight vertices along the circular helix over &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords. The vertex motion is a [[w:Geodesic|geodesic]] circle orbit on the 3-sphere of a special kind: it does not lie in a central plane, its [[w:Winding_number|winding number]] is not 1 (it is 3 in this case), its circumference is not &lt;math&gt;2\pi&lt;/math&gt; (it is &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; in this case), and it moves in either a left or right handed circular spiral. We shall refer to such a chiral circle orbit as an ''isocline'', and to the skew polygram of its rotational chords as a ''Clifford polygon''.

The 16-cell is the simplest possible frame in which to [[16-cell#Rotations|observe 4-dimensional rotations]] because its characteristic rotations feature a single pair of invariant rotation planes. In the 16-cell an isoclinic rotation by 90° in any pair of invariant completely orthogonal square central planes takes every great square to its completely orthogonal great square in a twisting displacement, as the invariant planes tilt sideways 90° into each other's plane while rotating 90° internally. All the vertices move at once along the same circular helix geodesic isocline of &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords, displaced 90° in 8 orthogonal directions, and the rigid 16-cell assumes a new orientation in 4-space. When the 90° isoclinic rotation is continued in the same rotational direction through an additional 90°, each vertex is again displaced 90°, but from the new orientation in a direction orthogonal to its first 90° displacement. The rotational curve over each 90° &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chord makes three 45° turns. In 360° of isoclinic rotation over four &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords, each vertex makes six 90° turns and reaches its antipodal position.

The trajectory of each vertex over each 90° isoclinic rotational displacement is a one-eighth segment of its geodesic orbit. Its entire orbit traces an isocline circle in 4-space of circumference &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; over eight &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane twice, over the four &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; edges of a great square in one of the two moving invariant rotation planes. In the course of a 720° isoclinic revolution each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 16-cell returns to its original orientation.

We shall refer to this isoclinic rotation as the ''characteristic rotation of the 16-cell'', and note once again that it is Fontaine and Hurley's counterclockwise rotation over the &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; {8/3} star polygon, which constructs &lt;math&gt;1/r_3&lt;/math&gt;.

== The 8-cell tesseract ==
The long diameter of the unit-edge [[W:Hypercube|hypercube]] of dimension &lt;math&gt;n&lt;/math&gt; is &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{n}&lt;/math&gt;, so the unit-edge [[w:Tesseract|4-hypercube, the 16-point (8-cell) tesseract,]] has chords:
:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;
Uniquely in its 4-dimensional case, the hypercube's edge length equals its radius, like the hexagon. We call such polytopes ''radially equilateral'', because they can be constructed from equilateral triangles which meet at their center, each contributing two radii and an edge. The [[w:Cuboctahedron|cuboctahedron]] and the 24-cell are also radially equilateral.

[[File:8-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 16-point (8-cell) tesseract &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{4,3,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; performing a simple rotation about a plane in 4-space.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}} The stationary plane bisects the figure from front-left to back-right and top to bottom.]]
The [[W:Tesseract|tesseract]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{4,3,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;. It has 16 vertices, 32 edges, 24 square faces, and 8 cube cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the cube.

The 16-point tesseract is the convex hull of a compound of two 8-point 16-cells, in exact dimensional analogy to the way the 8-point cube is the convex hull of a [[W:Stellated octahedron|compound of two 4-point regular tetrahedra]]. The [[W:Demihypercube|demihypercubes]] occupy alternate vertices of the hypercubes. The diagonals of the square faces of the unit-edge, unit-radius tesseract are the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; edges of two unit-radius 16-cells, also the edges of the square central planes.

We can rotate the tesseract isoclinically the way we rotated the 16-cell, by 90° in the characteristic rotation of the 16-cell, with the same effect on both alternate-position 16-cells. In the course of a 720° revolution each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, but it does not visit the vertex positions of the other 16-cell. The two skew {8/3} octagram Clifford polygons lie on two disjoint parallel isoclines of the same chirality, of circumference &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; chords. They form a circular double helix which intersects each vertex of the tesseract once. The double helix is an 8-rung ladder twisted 3 times, then bent into a circle in the fourth dimension. Each rung is a tesseract edge.

The tesseract is the [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]] of the 16-cell. They have the same Petrie polygon, the regular skew octagon, but the tesseract is a construct of 4 Petrie octagons with disjoint sets of 8 tesseract edges each. We can construct the tesseract by skewing two planar octagons. Because the tesseract is radially equilateral (unlike the 16-cell), we use two octagons of unit-edge length to build the unit-radius tesseract. To start we embed the planar octagons in 4-space at the same point and make them completely orthogonal. Then we skew each planar octagon into a cube, so we have a compound of two completely orthogonal cubes, provided we skewed them both in the same direction. The 16 vertices will be the vertices of a tesseract with half its 32 edges missing.

Because the tesseract contains two 16-cells in alternate positions it has two sets of 6 orthogonal square central planes. Two angles are required to specify the relationship between two planes in 4-space. Pairs of square central planes within each 16-cell are 90° apart in one angle, and either 0° or 90° apart in the other angle. They are 90° apart in both angles if and only if they are completely orthogonal planes, 90° apart by isoclinic rotation, with no vertices in common. Otherwise they are 0° apart in one of the angles, 90° apart by simple rotation, and they intersect in one axis and lie in a common 3-dimensional hyperplane.{{Efn|A double rotation in which one of the two angles of rotation is 0°, so that one of the completely orthogonal invariant planes does not rotate, is called a simple rotation. Ordinary rotations observed in a 3-dimensional space are simple rotations.|name=simple rotations}}

A pair of square central planes from alternate-position 16-cells are 60° apart by isoclinic rotation, with their corresponding vertices 120° apart. The planes are not orthogonal or parallel, so they intersect in a line somewhere, but they have no vertices in common, they have no 3-dimensional hyperplane in common, and they cannot reach each other by simple rotation. Such pairs of objects are called [[W:Clifford parallel|Clifford parallel]] because all their corresponding pairs of vertices are the same distance apart, although they are not parallel in the usual sense, because they have a common center. Not only the alternate-position 16-cells' corresponding square central planes, but also the 16-cells themselves, are Clifford parallel objects. More generally, multiple disjoint instances of a 4-polytope which compound to make a larger 4-polytope are Clifford parallel objects.

== The 24-cell ==
[[File:24-cell vertex geometry.png|thumb|Planar geometry of the radially equilateral 24-cell, showing its 3 great circle polygons and its 4 chord lengths.]]
In 2-space we have the radially equilateral 6-point hexagon. In 3-space we have the radially equilateral 12-point cuboctahedron, with 4 hexagonal central planes. In 4-space we have the radially equilateral 24-point 24-cell, with 12 cuboctahedron central hyperplanes and 16 hexagonal central planes.

The [[24-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{3,4,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;. It has 24 vertices, 96 edges, 96 equilateral triangle faces, and 24 octahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the cuboctahedron.

The 24-cell has the same chord set as the 4-hypercube tesseract:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;

[[Image:24-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 24-point 24-cell &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{3,4,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; performing a simple rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}} The 3-dimensional surface made of 24 octahedra is visible.]]
The 24-cell is [[W:Dual polytope|self-dual]], like the regular polygons and regular simplexes. It is the maximal regular construct of triangles and squares (with no pentagons). It is the convex hull of a compound of three disjoint 8-point 16-cells, rotated 60° isoclinically with respect to each other. Each of the three pairs of 16-cells is a tesseract. Each 24-cell edge is also a tesseract edge. The corresponding vertices of two 16-cells or two tesseracts are 120° apart by a &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chord. Each tesseract has 8 cube cells, and each cube has four &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; long diameters. The &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chords joining the corresponding vertices of two tesseracts belong to the third tesseract as cell long diameters.

The 24-cell's Petrie polygon is the regular dodecagon {12}, which has chords:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\tfrac{\sqrt{3}-1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.518,r_2=\sqrt{1},r_3=\sqrt{2},r_4=\sqrt{3},r_5=\tfrac{\sqrt{3}+1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.932,r_6=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;

Fontaine and Hurley's procedure for obtaining the reciprocal of a chord tells us that: 

:&lt;math&gt;r_5-r_3+r_1+r_1-r_3=1/r_5&lt;/math&gt;

when &lt;math&gt;r_1=1&lt;/math&gt;. The procedure rotates counterclockwise over five &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; chords of a {12/5} dodecagram. In the system of unit-radius coordinates &lt;math&gt;r_1=1/r_5&lt;/math&gt;.

The &lt;math&gt;r_1&lt;/math&gt; and &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; chords of the planar dodecagon do not occur in the 24-cell, which is a construct of eight skew dodecagons with disjoint sets of twelve &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt; edges each. In the skew dodecagons the chord lengths are:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{1},r_3=\sqrt{2},r_4=\sqrt{3},r_5=\sqrt{3},r_6=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;

Where chords are the same length, they are distinct only in the context of a rotation.

[[File:dodecagon24cell.png|thumb|Orthogonal projection of half a 24-cell to the [[24-cell#Geodesics|F&lt;sub&gt;4&lt;/sub&gt; Coxeter plane]]. Only one Petrie dodecagon {12} of the 24-cell is shown. In a unit-radius 24-cell, all black lines are 24-cell edges of unit length, also tesseract edges. The two disjoint hexagons lie in Clifford parallel central planes. Blue chords are &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; 16-cell edges of Clifford parallel great squares, also isocline chords in great square rotations. Green chords are &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; distances between corresponding vertices of two 16-cells, also isocline chords in great hexagon rotations. The green {12/5} dodecagram is a Clifford polygon.]]
[[File:Regular_star_figure_3(8,3).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/9}=3{8/3} &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;]]
We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in Clifford parallel invariant planes containing 16-cell edges, for example in the characteristic rotation of the 16-cell, with the same effect on all three 16-cells. In 720° each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, but it does not visit the vertex positions of the other 16-cells. The rotational curve over each 90° &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; chord makes three 45° turns. Three Clifford parallel {8/3} octagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; chords form a circular triple helix {24/9}=3{8/3} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once. The triple helix is an 8-step circular staircase that twists around 3 times, and is bent into a torus in the fourth dimension. Each staircase step is a great triangle of &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; chords.

We can also rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in Clifford parallel invariant planes containing 24-cell edges. A complete 24-cell great circle edge plane revolution requires 720° like a complete 16-cell great circle edge plane revolution, but it is completed in 12 isoclinic displacements of 60° each rather than 8 isoclinic displacements of 90° each.  An isoclinic rotation by 60° in any invariant central plane containing a 24-cell edge takes every great hexagon to a Clifford parallel great hexagon in a twisting displacement, as all the invariant planes tilt sideways 60° while rotating 60° internally. It also takes every great square to a Clifford parallel great square. All 24 vertices move at once on Clifford parallel geodesic isoclines, displaced 120° in different directions. The trajectory of each vertex over each 60° rotational displacement is a one-twelfth segment of its geodesic orbit, and its entire orbit traces an isocline circle in 4-space over &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chords. There are two distinct ways we can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in invariant planes containing 24-cell edges, called the ''characteristic left rotation'' and the ''characteristic right rotation'', respectively.

[[File:Regular star figure 2(12,5).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/10}=2{12/5} shows 2 dodecagram isoclines of &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; chords in the 24-cell]]
We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in 12 Clifford parallel invariant planes containing two &lt;math&gt;r_{1}&lt;/math&gt; edges each, over &lt;math&gt;r_{5}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. This is the ''characteristic left rotation of the 24-cell'', also Fontaine and Hurley's counterclockwise rotation over the &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; 2{12/5} star polygon which constructs &lt;math&gt;1/r_5&lt;/math&gt;. The rotational curve over each 120° &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; chord makes five 30° turns. Two Clifford parallel {12/5} dodecagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;10\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular double helix {24/10}=2{12/5} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once. The orbit of each vertex traces an isocline circle in 4-space over 12 &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane 5 times in a moving invariant rotation plane. In the course of a 720° revolution each vertex departs from 12 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 24-cell returns to its original orientation. 

[[File:Regular_star_figure_8(3,1).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/8}=8{3}&lt;small&gt; &lt;/small&gt;shows 8 of 32&lt;small&gt; &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; triangles in the 24-cell]]
We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in 4 Clifford parallel invariant great hexagon planes containing six &lt;math&gt;r_{2}&lt;/math&gt; edges each, over &lt;math&gt;r_{4}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. This is the ''characteristic right rotation of the 24-cell'', also Fontaine and Hurley's counterclockwise rotation over the &lt;math&gt;r_4&lt;/math&gt; 8{3} star polygon which constructs &lt;math&gt;1/r_4&lt;/math&gt;. The rotational curve over each 120° &lt;math&gt;r_4&lt;/math&gt; chord makes four 30° turns.  Eight Clifford parallel triangle geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;2\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;r_4&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular fibration of 8 twisted parallel strands {24/8}=8{3} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once. In three successive 60° isoclinic displacements each vertex circles a triangle and returns to its original position, but the 24-cell returns to its original orientation only after each vertex has completed circuits of the four distinct triangles which intersect at the vertex. The isocline curves over a self-intersecting dodecagram of 12 &lt;math&gt;r_4&lt;/math&gt; chords.

By examining the chords &lt;math&gt;r_i&lt;/math&gt; of the 24-cell's Petrie {12}-gon we found three distinct isoclinic rotations. If we examine the chords &lt;math&gt;t_i&lt;/math&gt; of the 24-cell's {24}-gon we find these and also three other distinct isoclinic rotations.  

Each row of the table is a distinct isoclinic rotation of the 24-cell characterized by a pair of chords that sum to 180°. The edge chords form the rotation's edge {24}-gon, and lie in invariant planes of the rotation. The isocline chords form the rotation's Clifford {24}-gon and lie in the invariant planes completely orthogonal to the edge planes. The rotational angle between successive edge chords and the rotational angle between successive isocline chords also sum to 180°.  

We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in Clifford parallel invariant planes containing 16-cell edges in 6 Clifford parallel invariant great square planes containing four &lt;math&gt;t_{6}&lt;/math&gt; edges each, over &lt;math&gt;t_{6}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. The &lt;math&gt;t_6&lt;/math&gt; chord is the 16-cell-&lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chord. The edge polygon and the Clifford polygon are both {24/6}=6{4}. This is the ''characteristic right rotation of the 24-cell''.  

The rotational curve over each 90° &lt;math&gt;t_6&lt;/math&gt; chord makes six 15° turns.  Six Clifford parallel skew triangle geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;2\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;t_6&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular fibration of six twisted parallel strands that intersects each 24-cell vertex once. &lt;s&gt;In every 360° of isoclinic rotation each vertex circles a skew great square and returns to its original position, but the 24-cell returns to its original orientation only after each vertex has completed circuits of the three distinct skew squares which intersect at the vertex and the three distinct skew squares which intersect at its antipodal vertex. The isocline curves over a self-intersecting {24}-gon of &lt;math&gt;t_6&lt;/math&gt; chords.&lt;/s&gt;

Invisible in this rendering are 25 inscribed instances of the 24-cell (above), which occur in the 600-cell as interior boundary envelopes.]]
The [[600-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{3,3,5\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;. It has 120 vertices, 720 edges, 1200 equilateral triangle faces, and 600 tetrahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the icosahedron.

The 600-cell rounds out the 24-cell by adding 96 more vertices (four more disjoint 24-cells) between the 24-cell's existing 24 vertices, in effect adding twenty-four more distinct 24-cells inscribed in the 600-cell. The new surface thus formed is a honeycomb of smaller, more numerous cells: tetrahedra of edge length &lt;math&gt;\phi^{-1} \approx 0.618&lt;/math&gt; instead of octahedra of edge length &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt;. It encloses the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt; edges of the 24-cells, which become invisible interior chords in the 600-cell, like the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; and &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chords.

Since the tetrahedra are made of shorter triangle edges than the octahedra (by a factor of &lt;math&gt;\phi^{-1}&lt;/math&gt;, the inverse golden ratio), the 600-cell is not radially equilateral like the 24-cell and the tesseract. Like them it is radially triangular in a special way, but one in which [[w:Golden_triangle_(mathematics)|golden triangles]] rather than equilateral triangles meet at the center.

In 2-space we have the ''radially golden'' [[W:Decagon#The golden ratio in decagon|regular decagon]]. In 3-space we have the radially golden 30-point [[W:icosidodecahedron|icosidodecahedron]], with 6 decagon central planes. In 4-space we have the radially golden 120-point 600-cell, with 60 icosidodecahedron central hyperplanes and 72 decagon central planes.

The 600-cell's Petrie polygon is the regular [[w:Triacontagon|triacontagon {30}]]. The unit-radius planar {30}-gon has these distinct chords:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=2 \sin (\tfrac{\pi}{15}/2) \approx 0.209&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_2=2 \sin (\tfrac{2\pi}{15}/2) \approx 0.416&lt;/math&gt;

:&lt;math&gt;r_5=2 \sin (\tfrac{\pi}{3}/2)=\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_6=2 \sin (\tfrac{2\pi}{5}/2)=\sqrt{3-\phi} \approx 1.176&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_7=2 \sin (\tfrac{7\pi}{15}/2) \approx 1.338&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_8=2 \cos (\tfrac{7\pi}{15}/2) \approx 1.486&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_9=2 \sin (\tfrac{3\pi}{5}/2)=\phi \approx 1.618&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{10}=2 \sin (\tfrac{2\pi}{3}/2)=\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{11}=2 \cos (\tfrac{4\pi}{15}/2) \approx 1.827&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{12}=2 \sin (\tfrac{4\pi}{5}/2)=\sqrt{2+\phi} \approx 1.902&lt;/math&gt;

:&lt;math&gt;r_{14}=2 \cos (\tfrac{\pi}{15}/2) \approx 1.989&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{15}=2 \sin (\pi/2)=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;

Only the chord lengths &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_6&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_9&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_{10}&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_{12}&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_{15}&lt;/math&gt; occur in the 600-cell, which is a construct of 24 Petrie {30}-gons of edge length &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt;, six of which intersect in each icosahedral vertex figure. In the skew {30}-gons the chord lengths are:

Where chords are the same length, they are distinct only in the context of a rotation.

The list of 600-cell chords &lt;math&gt;r_{i}&lt;/math&gt; can be rearranged into a table of 8 rows and 2 columns with a pair of 180° complements in each row. The short chord and long chord each have their characteristic {30/n}-gon. Each row identifies a discrete isoclinic rotation of the 600-cell in invariant central planes containing the edges of the short chord {30}-gon, over the isocline chords of the long chord {30}-gon, the rotation's Clifford polygon.

Each distinct pair of complementary chord lengths is identified with a distinct [[w:600-cell#Polyhedral sections|polyhedral section of the 600-cell]] beginning with a vertex. In spherical [[w:3-sphere|3-dimensional space &lt;math&gt;\mathbb{S}^3&lt;/math&gt;]], every vertex is the center of a set of 7 concentric polyhedra of increasing radii that nest like [[w:Matryoshka_doll|Russian dolls.]] The smallest polyhedral section at radial distance &lt;math&gt;\phi^{-1}&lt;/math&gt; is a icosahedron vertex figure, and the largest section at radial distance &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; is an [[W:Icosidodecahedron|icosidodecahedron]] central section bisecting the 600-cell. Because  [[w:3-sphere|&lt;math&gt;\mathbb{S}^3&lt;/math&gt;]] is spherical, at radial distances greater than &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; the successive complement-radius polyhedra decrease in size, to the antipodal icosahedron vertex figure at distance &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2+\phi}&lt;/math&gt;. In Euclidean 4-dimensional space &lt;math&gt;\mathbb{R}^4&lt;/math&gt;, every vertex is the apex of 7 [[w:Hyperpyramid|polyhedral pyramids]], where the pyramid's lateral edge length is the radial distance and its base polyhedron is the section. Each section lies parallel to a congruent complement-radius section (or coincident with it, in the case of the central section).

[[File:Regular_star_figure_3(8,3).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/9}=3{8/3} &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;]]
We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in the great square rotation characteristic of the 16-cell,  with the same effect on 15 disjoint 16-cells. Each 90° displacement takes 15 pairs of completely orthogonal invariant great square planes to each other. In the course of a 720° revolution each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, without visiting other vertex positions. The rotational curve over each 90° chord makes three 45° turns. Fifteen Clifford parallel {8/3} octagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular fibration of 15 twisted parallel strands 5{24/9}=15{8/3} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.

The 600-cell has another distinct isoclinic rotation in invariant great square planes, which has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. This [''great square left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell]'' takes place over &lt;math&gt;r_7&lt;/math&gt; edge chords and &lt;math&gt;r_8&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. The {30/7} edge polygon is a skew helix of circumference &lt;math&gt;14\pi&lt;/math&gt; with each &lt;math&gt;r_7&lt;/math&gt; edge belonging to a distinct great square. The four {30/7} polygrams contribute one edge each to 30 great squares. Each 90° displacement takes every 16-cell to another 16-cell. The vertices of the invariant great squares each make seven orbits on a great circle within the moving invariant plane in the course of one complete revolution. The rotational curve over each 90° {30/7} edge makes seven 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/7} geodesics of circumference &lt;math&gt;16\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. The {30/8}=2{15/4} Clifford polygon is a compound of two skew {15/4} pentadecagrams of circumference &lt;math&gt;16\pi&lt;/math&gt; with each &lt;math&gt;r_8&lt;/math&gt; isocline chord belonging to a distinct 16-cell. The four {30/8} polygrams contribute one edge each to 30 great squares. The rotational curve over each 90° {30/8} isocline chord makes eight 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/8} geodesics of circumference &lt;math&gt;16\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.

We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in the great hexagon rotation characteristic of the 24-cell, over &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt; edge chords and &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords, with the same effect on 5 disjoint 24-cells. In the course of a 720° revolution each vertex departs from 12 vertex positions of its 24-cell just once and returns to its original position, without visiting other vertex positions. Ten Clifford parallel {12/5} dodecagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;10\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular fibration of ten twisted parallel strands 5{24/10}=10{12/5} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. 

The 600-cell has another distinct isoclinic rotation in invariant great hexagon planes, over &lt;math&gt;r_{4}=\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt; edge chords and &lt;math&gt;r_{11}=\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords This [''invariant great hexagon left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell]'' has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. Its {30/11} Clifford polygon is a skew helix where each &lt;math&gt;r_{11}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chord is the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; diagonal of a great hexagon of a distinct 24-cell. The vertices of the invariant great hexagons of this rotation each make eleven orbits on a great circle within the moving invariant plane in the course of one complete revolution. The rotational curve over each 120° &lt;math&gt;r_{11}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chord makes eleven 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/11} geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;22\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;r_{11}&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. 

We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in 12 Clifford parallel invariant decagon central planes containing its 36° &lt;math&gt;r_{3}&lt;/math&gt; edges, over 144° &lt;math&gt;r_{12}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. This ''invariant great decagon rotation characteristic of the 600-cell'' has period 5 and takes disjoint 24-cells to each other. The rotational curve over each &lt;math&gt;r_{12}&lt;/math&gt; chord of its {5/2} Clifford polygon makes twelve 12° turns. 24 Clifford parallel {5/2} pentagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;4\pi&lt;/math&gt; over five &lt;math&gt;r_{12}&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular fibration of 24 twisted parallel strands 4{30/12}=24{5/2} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. 

The rotation of the 600-cell by 36° in any invariant decagon central plane takes every great decagon to a Clifford parallel great decagon in a twisting displacement, as all the central planes tilt sideways 36° while rotating 36° internally. It also takes every great hexagon to a Clifford parallel great hexagon, and every great square to a Clifford parallel great square. The 24-cells revolve within the 600-cell, as the 16-cells revolve within the 24-cells. All 120 vertices move at once on four Clifford parallel geodesic isoclines, displaced 144° in different directions.

The 600-cell has another distinct isoclinic rotation in invariant great decagon planes containing its 36° &lt;math&gt;r_{2}&lt;/math&gt; edges, over 144° &lt;math&gt;r_{13}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. This [''great decagon left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell]'' has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. The rotational curve over each 144° &lt;math&gt;r_{13}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chord makes thirteen 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/13} geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;26\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.

The [[User:Dc.samizdat/Golden chords of the 120-cell#Thirty distinguished distances|list of thirty 120-cell chords]] &lt;math&gt;c_{t}&lt;/math&gt; can be rearranged into a table of 16 rows and 2 columns with a pair of 180° complements in each row. This table first appears in [[w:Regular_Polytopes_(book)|''Regular Polytopes'']] (1947),{{Sfn|Coxeter|1973|loc=Table V(v): Simplified sections of {5,3,3} beginning with a vertex|pp=300-301}} where Coxeter identified each row with a distinct [[w:120-cell#Concentric_hulls|polyhedral section of the 120-cell]] beginning with a vertex. In spherical [[w:3-sphere|3-dimensional space &lt;math&gt;\mathbb{S}^3&lt;/math&gt;]], every vertex is the center of a set of 29 concentric polyhedra of increasing radii that nest like [[w:Matryoshka_doll|Russian dolls.]] The smallest polyhedral section at radial distance &lt;math&gt;c_1&lt;/math&gt; is a tetrahedron vertex figure, and the largest section at radial distance &lt;math&gt;c_{15}&lt;/math&gt; is a central section bisecting the 120-cell. Because  [[w:3-sphere|&lt;math&gt;\mathbb{S}^3&lt;/math&gt;]] is spherical, at radial distances greater than &lt;math&gt;c_{15}&lt;/math&gt; the successive complement-radius polyhedra decrease in size, to the antipodal tetrahedron vertex figure at distance &lt;math&gt;c_{29}&lt;/math&gt;. In Euclidean 4-dimensional space &lt;math&gt;\mathbb{R}^4&lt;/math&gt;, every vertex is the apex of 29 [[w:Hyperpyramid|polyhedral pyramids]], where the pyramid's lateral edge length is the radial distance and its base polyhedron is the section. Each section lies parallel to a congruent complement-radius section (or coincident with it, in the case of the central section). Each section also lies completely orthogonal to a congruent section. 

Only 8 of the 30 chords in the table occur in the 600-cell and the planar {30)-gon. The 120-cell's additional chords arise originally from the regular 5-cell, in its interaction with the other regular 4-polytopes that compound to make the 120-cell. Since all those polytopes except the 5-cell occur in the 600-cell, and the 600-cell and the 120-cell have the same symmetry group, the 5-cell's symmetry group is what's new in the 120-cell.

== Finally the 120-cell ==
The [[120-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{5,3,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;. It has 600 vertices, 1200 edges, 720 pentagon faces, and 120 dodecahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the dodecahedron.

The 120-cell is the [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]] of the 600-cell. They have the same Petrie polygon, the regular skew triacontagon {30}, but the 120-cell is a construct of 40 Petrie {30}-gons of edge length &lt;math&gt;c_1&lt;/math&gt;, two of which intersect in each tetrahedral vertex figure.

== Conclusions ==

Fontaine and Hurley's discovery is more than a geometric formula for the reciprocal of a regular ''n''-polygon diagonal. It also yields the discrete sequence of isocline chords of the characteristic isoclinic rotation of a ''d''-dimensional polytope in its invariant edge planes. The characteristic rotational chord sequence of the ''d''-polytope can be represented geometrically in two dimensions on a distinct star polygon, but it lies on a geodesic circle through ''d''-dimensional space. Fontaine and Hurley discovered the geodesic topology of polytopes generally. Their procedure will reveal the geodesics of arbitrary non-uniform polytopes, since it can be applied to a polytope of any dimensionality and irregularity, by first fitting the polytope to the smallest regular polygon whose chords include its chords. [If what is meant by this is its Petrie polygon, it is not quite necessary or possible with respect to the planar polygon chords, e.g. the planar Petrie polygon of the 600-cell does not contain the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; chord. But perhaps it would work if the fit is to the smallest regular skew polygon in the ''d''-space.]

The discovery of a chordal construction for discrete isoclinic rotations generally closes the circuit on Kappraff and Adamson's discovery of a rotational connection between dynamical systems, Steinbach's golden fields, and Coxeter's Euclidean geometry of ''n'' dimensions. Application of the Fontaine and Hurley procedure in the 120-cell demonstrates why the connection exists: because polytope sequences generally, from Steinbach's golden chord sequences in polygons, to sequences of star polygons in isoclinic rotations, to subsumption relations in the sequence of regular 4-polytopes, arise as expressions of the reflections and rotations of distinct Coxeter symmetry groups, when those various groups interact.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Steinbach discovered the formula for the ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. Fontaine and Hurley extended this result, discovering a formula for the reciprocal of a regular polygon chord derived geometrically from the chord's star polygon. We observe that these findings in plane geometry apply more generally, to polytopes of any dimensionality. Fontaine and Hurley's geometric procedure for finding the reciprocals of the chords of a regular polygon from their star polygons also finds the rotational geodesics of any polytope of any dimensionality.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
== Introduction ==
Steinbach discovered the Diagonal Product Formula and the Golden Fields family of ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. He showed how this family extends beyond the pentagon {5} with its well-known golden bisection proportional to 𝜙, finding that the heptagon {7} has an analogous trisection, the nonagon {9} has an analogous quadrasection, and the hendecagon {11} has an analogous pentasection, an extended family of golden proportions with quasiperiodic properties. 

Kappraff and Adamson extended these findings in plane geometry to a theory of Generalized Fibonacci Sequences, showing that the Golden Fields not only do not end with the hendecagon, they form an infinite number of periodic trajectories when operated on by the Mandelbrot operator. They found a relation between the edges of star polygons and dynamical systems in the state of chaos, revealing a connection between chaos theory, number, and rotations in Coxeter Euclidean geometry. 

Fontaine and Hurley examined Steinbach's finding that the length of each chord of a regular polygon is both the product of two chords and the sum of a set of smaller chords, so that in rotations to add is to multiply. They illustrated Steinbach's sets of additive chords lying parallel to each other in the plane (pointing in the same direction), and by applying Steinbach's formula more generally they found another summation relation of signed parallel chords (pointing in opposite directions) which relates each chord length to its reciprocal, and relates the summation to a distinct star polygon rotation. 

We examine these remarkable findings (which stem from study of the chords of humble regular polygons) in higher-dimensional spaces, specifically in the chords, polygons and rotations of the [[120-cell]], the largest four-dimensional regular convex polytope.

[[120-cell#Geometry|The 120-cell is the maximally complex regular 4-polytope]], containing inscribed instances of every regular 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-polytope, except the regular polygons of more than {15} sides. 

The 120-cell is the convex hull of a regular [[120-cell#Relationships among interior polytopes|compound of each of the 6 regular convex 4-polytopes]]. They are the [[5-cell|5-point (5-cell) 4-simplex]], the [[16-cell|8-point (16-cell) 4-orthoplex]], the [[W:Tesseract|16-point (8-cell) tesseract]], the [[24-cell|24-point (24-cell)]], the [[600-cell|120-point (600-cell)]], and the [[120-cell|600-point (120-cell)]]. The 120-cell is the convex hull of a compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells, of 75 disjoint 16-cells, of 25 disjoint 24-cells, and of 5 disjoint 600-cells.

The 120-cell contains an even larger inventory of irregular polytopes, created by the intersection of multiple instances of these component regular 4-polytopes. Many are quite unexpected, because they do not occur as components of any regular polytope smaller than the 120-cell. As just one example among the [[120-cell#Concentric hulls|sections of the 120-cell]], there is an irregular 24-point polyhedron with 16 triangle faces and 4 nonagon {9} faces.{{Sfn|Moxness|}}

Most renderings of the 120-cell, like the rotating projection here, only illustrate its outer surface, which is a honeycomb of face-bonded dodecahedral cells. Only the objects in its 3-dimensional surface are rendered, namely the 120 dodecahedra, their pentagon faces, and their edges. Although the 120-cell has chords of 30 distinct lengths, in this kind of simplified rendering only the 120-cell's own edges (its shortest chord) are shown. Its 29 interior chords, the edges of objects in the interior of the 120-cell, are not rendered, so interior objects are not visible at all.

Visualizing the complete interior of the 600-vertex 120-cell in a single image is impractical because of its complexity. Only four 120-cell edges are incident at each vertex, but [[120-cell#Chords|600 chords (of all 30 lengths)]] are incident at ''each'' vertex.

== Compounds in the 120-cell ==
The 8-point (16-cell), not the 5-point (5-cell), is the smallest building block; it compounds to every larger regular 4-polytope. The 5-point (5-cell) does compound to the 600-point (120-cell), but it does not fit into any smaller regular 4-polytope. 

The 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 2 in the 16-point (8-cell), and by 3 in the 24-point (24-cell). The 16-point (8-cell) compounds in the 24-point (24-cell) by 3 non-disjoint instances of itself, with each of the 24 vertices shared by two 16-point (8-cells). The 24-point (24-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell), and the 120-point (600-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell).

The 24-point (24-cell) also compounds by 5&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; non-disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell); it compounds in 5 disjoint instances of itself, 10 (not 5) different ways. Whichever set of 5 disjoint 24-point (24-cells) are assembled, the resulting 120-point (600-cell) contains 25 distinct 24-point (24-cells), not just 5 (or 10). Consequently 15 disjoint 8-point (16-cells) will construct a 120-point (600-cell), which contains 75 distinct 8-point (16-cells). 

The 600-point (120-cell) is 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), just 2 different ways (not 5 or 10 ways), so it is 10 distinct 120-point (600-cells). Consequently the 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 3 times 5&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; (75) disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell), which contains 3&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; times  5&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; (225) distinct instances of the 24-point (24-cell), and  3&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt; times 5&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; (675) distinct instances of the 8-point (16-cell). 

These facts were discovered painstakingly by various researchers, and no one has found a general rule governing subsumption relations among regular polytopes. The reasons for some of their numeric incidence relations are far from obvious. [[W:Pieter Hendrik Schoute|Schoute]] was the first to see that the 120-point (600-cell) is a compound of 5 24-point (24-cells) ''10 different ways'', and after he saw it a hundred years lapsed until Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler &amp; Claiborne proved his result, and showed why.{{Sfn|Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler &amp; Claiborne|2020|loc=''The geometry of H4 polytopes''}}

So much for the compounds of 16-cells. The 120-cell is also the convex hull of the compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells. That stellated compound (without its convex hull of 120-cell edges) is the [[w:Great_grand_stellated_120-cell|great grand stellated 120-cell]] illustrated above, the final regular [[W:Stellation|stellation]] of the 120-cell, and the only [[W:Schläfli-Hess polychoron|regular star 4-polytope]] to have the 120-cell for its convex hull. The edges of the great grand stellated 120-cell are &lt;math&gt;\phi^6&lt;/math&gt; as long as those of its 120-cell [[W:List of polyhedral stellations#Stellation process|stellation core]] deep inside.

The compound of 120 disjoint 5-point (5-cells) can be seen to be equivalent to the compound of 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), as follows. Beginning with a single 120-point (600-cell), expand each vertex into a regular 5-cell, by adding 4 new equidistant vertices, such that the 5 vertices form a regular 5-cell inscribed in the 3-sphere. The 120 5-cells are disjoint, and the 600 vertices form 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells): a 120-cell.

== Thirty distinguished distances ==
The 30 numbers listed in the table are all-important in Euclidean geometry. A case can be made on symmetry grounds that their squares are the 30 most important numbers between 0 and 4. The 30 rows of the table are the 30 distinct [[120-cell#Geodesic rectangles|chord lengths of the unit-radius 120-cell]], the largest regular convex 4-polytope. Since the 120-cell subsumes all smaller regular polytopes, its 30 chords are the complete chord set of all the regular polytopes that can be constructed in the first four dimensions of Euclidean space, except for regular polygons of more than 15 sides.

== The 16-cell 4-orthoplex ==
In 2-space we have the regular 8-point octagon, in 3-space the regular 8-point cube, and in 4-space the regular 8-point [[16-cell]].

A planar octagon with rigid edges of unit length has chords of length:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=1,r_2=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.848,r_3=\sqrt{2}+1 \approx 2.414,r_4=\sqrt{4 + \sqrt{8}} \approx 2.613&lt;/math&gt;

The chord ratio &lt;math&gt;r_3=\sqrt{2}+1&lt;/math&gt; is a geometrical proportion, the [[W:Silver ratio|silver ratio]]. Fontaine and Hurley's procedure for obtaining the reciprocal of a chord tells us that:

:&lt;math&gt;r_3-r_1-r_1=1/r_3 \approx 0.414&lt;/math&gt;

Note that &lt;math&gt;r_3-2=1/r_3=\sqrt{2}-1&lt;/math&gt;. Their procedure rotates counterclockwise over three &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords of an {8/3} octagram. Over the first &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chord the displacement is &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}+1&lt;/math&gt;. Over the second &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chord it moves in the opposite direction a distance of &lt;math&gt;-1&lt;/math&gt; . Over the third &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chord it also moves a distance of &lt;math&gt;-1&lt;/math&gt;. Fontaine and Hurley also demonstrated the significance of &lt;math&gt;1/r_i&lt;/math&gt; in Steinbach's Diagonal Product Formula, which says that every chord length is the sum of certain smaller chord lengths. The smaller chords are certain diagonals of the same regular polygon of a smaller edge length, specifically edge length &lt;math&gt;1/r_i&lt;/math&gt; rather than &lt;math&gt;1&lt;/math&gt;.

If we embed the planar octagon in 3-space, we can make it skew, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from three others instead of two others, at the vertices of a unit-edge cube with chords of length:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=1, r_2=\sqrt{2}, r_3=\sqrt{3}, r_4=\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;

If we embed this cube in 4-space, we can skew it some more, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from six others instead of three others, at the vertices of a unit-edge 4-polytope with chords of length:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=1,r_2=1,r_3=1,r_4=\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;

All of its chords except its long diameters are the same unit length as its edge. In fact they are its 24 edges, and it is a 16-cell of radius &lt;math&gt;1/\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;.

[[File:octagon16cell.png|thumb|Orthogonal projection of a regular 16-cell to the [[16-cell#Projections|B&lt;sub&gt;4&lt;/sub&gt; Coxeter plane]]. Only its edges are shown; its long diameter chords are not drawn. All 24 edges are the same length and none lie parallel to the projection plane. The octagon circumference is a Petrie polygon. The two disjoint squares lie in completely orthogonal central planes. The blue octagram is a Clifford polygon. ]]

The [[16-cell]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{3,3,4\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;. It has 8 vertices, 24 edges, 32 equilateral triangle faces, and 16 regular tetrahedron cells. It is the [[16-cell#Octahedral dipyramid|four-dimensional analogue of the octahedron]], and each of its four orthogonal central hyperplanes is an octahedron.

The only planar regular polygons found in the 16-cell are face triangles and central plane squares, but the 16-cell also contains a skew regular octagon, its [[W:Petrie polygon|Petrie polygon]].{{Efn|name=Petrie polygon of a honeycomb}} The chords of this regular octagon, which lies skew in 4-space, are those given above for the 16-cell, as opposed to those for the cube or the regular octagon in the plane. The 16-cell is a construct of 3 Petrie octagons which share the same 8 vertices but have disjoint sets of 8 edges each.

The regular octad has higher symmetry in 4-space than it does in 2-space. The 16-cell is the 4-[[w:Cross-polytope|orthoplex]], the simplest regular 4-polytope after the [[5-cell|4-simplex]]. All the larger regular convex 4-polytopes are compounds of the 16-cell. The regular octagon exhibits this high symmetry only when embedded in 4-space at the vertices of the 16-cell.

The 16-cell constitutes an [[W:Orthonormal basis|orthonormal basis]] for the choice of a 4-dimensional Cartesian reference frame, because its vertices define four orthogonal axes. The eight vertices of a unit-radius 16-cell are (±1, 0, 0, 0), (0, ±1, 0, 0), (0, 0, ±1, 0), (0, 0, 0, ±1). All vertices are connected by &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; edges except opposite pairs. 

The vertex coordinates of the 16-cell form 6 central squares lying in 6 pairwise [[W:Orthogonal|orthogonal]] coordinate planes. Great squares in opposite planes that do not share an axis (e.g. in the ''xy'' and ''wz'' planes) are completely disjoint (they do not intersect at any vertices). These planes are [[W:Completely orthogonal|completely orthogonal]].{{Efn|name=Six orthogonal planes of the Cartesian basis}}

Since the unit-radius coordinate system is convenient, let us derive the unit-radius 16-cell by skewing a unit-radius planar octagon, which has chords of length:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.765,r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.848,r_4=2&lt;/math&gt;

We will need a planar octagon with rigid &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chords, rather than one with rigid &lt;math&gt;r_1&lt;/math&gt; edges. The octagon's &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chords form two disjoint great squares, visible in the orthogonal projection, which we can reposition in 3-space to form a cube by making them parallel, and in 4-space to form a 16-cell by making them completely orthogonal.

Each chord is a distinct 4-vector with a length and a direction. Since the edges of the 16-cell are all the same length &lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{2},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;, those chords are distinct only in the context of a rotation, where vertices circle over the chords of an &lt;math&gt;r_i&lt;/math&gt; polygon. The rotational curve over each &lt;math&gt;r_i&lt;/math&gt; chord makes &lt;math&gt;i&lt;/math&gt; 45° turns. The angle between two &lt;math&gt;r_i&lt;/math&gt; chords is &lt;math&gt;i \times 45^\circ&lt;/math&gt;.

[[File:16-cell-orig.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 8-point 16-cell &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{3,3,4\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; performing a double rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}}]]
[[W:Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space|Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space]] can be seen as the composition of two 2-dimensional rotations in completely orthogonal planes. The general rotation in 4-space is a [[W:SO(4)#Double rotations|double rotation]] in pairs of completely orthogonal planes. Two completely orthogonal planes are called invariant planes of the rotation when all points in the plane rotate on circles that remain in the plane, even as the whole plane tilts sideways (like a coin flipping) into another plane. The two completely orthogonal rotations of each plane (like a wheel, and like a coin flipping) are simultaneous but independent, in that they are not geometrically constrained to turn at the same rate. However, the most circular kind of rotation (as opposed to an elliptical double rotation of a rigid spherical object) occurs when the completely orthogonal planes do rotate through the same angle in the same time interval. Such equi-angled double rotations are called [[w:SO(4)#Isoclinic_rotations|isoclinic]], also [[w:William_Kingdon_Clifford|Clifford]] displacements.

The &lt;math&gt;r_1&lt;/math&gt; chords of the 16-cell form a Petrie polygon {8/1} which zig-zags back and forth, in the left and right rotational directions, between two completely orthogonal great squares formed by &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chords.

The &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chords  form the ''edge polygon'' of the 16-cell {8/2}=2{4}. The two completely orthogonal great squares lie parallel and perpendicular to each other. A ''simple'' rotation of the 16-cell in ''one'' of those two square central planes rotates that square like a wheel, while the other square does not move.{{Efn|name=simple rotations}} The four vertices of the rotating square orbit on a great circle in the plane.

The &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords of the 16-cell form a circular helix, visible as a blue {8/3} octagram in the orthogonal projection. A ''double'' rotation of the 16-cell, in both of two completely orthogonal invariant &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; square planes at once by equal angles, moves the eight vertices along the circular helix over &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords. The vertex motion is a [[w:Geodesic|geodesic]] circle orbit on the 3-sphere of a special kind: it does not lie in a central plane, its [[w:Winding_number|winding number]] is not 1 (it is 3 in this case), its circumference is not &lt;math&gt;2\pi&lt;/math&gt; (it is &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; in this case), and it moves in either a left or right handed circular spiral. We shall refer to such a chiral circle orbit as an ''isocline'', and to the skew polygram of its rotational chords as a ''Clifford polygon''.

The 16-cell is the simplest possible frame in which to [[16-cell#Rotations|observe 4-dimensional rotations]] because its characteristic rotations feature a single pair of invariant rotation planes. In the 16-cell an isoclinic rotation by 90° in any pair of invariant completely orthogonal square central planes takes every great square to its completely orthogonal great square in a twisting displacement, as the invariant planes tilt sideways 90° into each other's plane while rotating 90° internally. All the vertices move at once along the same circular helix geodesic isocline of &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords, displaced 90° in 8 orthogonal directions, and the rigid 16-cell assumes a new orientation in 4-space. When the 90° isoclinic rotation is continued in the same rotational direction through an additional 90°, each vertex is again displaced 90°, but from the new orientation in a direction orthogonal to its first 90° displacement. The rotational curve over each 90° &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chord makes three 45° turns. In 360° of isoclinic rotation over four &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords, each vertex makes six 90° turns and reaches its antipodal position.

The trajectory of each vertex over each 90° isoclinic rotational displacement is a one-eighth segment of its geodesic orbit. Its entire orbit traces an isocline circle in 4-space of circumference &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; over eight &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane twice, over the four &lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; edges of a great square in one of the two moving invariant rotation planes. In the course of a 720° isoclinic revolution each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 16-cell returns to its original orientation.

We shall refer to this isoclinic rotation as the ''characteristic rotation of the 16-cell'', and note once again that it is Fontaine and Hurley's counterclockwise rotation over the &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt; {8/3} star polygon, which constructs &lt;math&gt;1/r_3&lt;/math&gt;.

== The 8-cell tesseract ==
The long diameter of the unit-edge [[W:Hypercube|hypercube]] of dimension &lt;math&gt;n&lt;/math&gt; is &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{n}&lt;/math&gt;, so the unit-edge [[w:Tesseract|4-hypercube, the 16-point (8-cell) tesseract,]] has chords:
:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;
Uniquely in its 4-dimensional case, the hypercube's edge length equals its radius, like the hexagon. We call such polytopes ''radially equilateral'', because they can be constructed from equilateral triangles which meet at their center, each contributing two radii and an edge. The [[w:Cuboctahedron|cuboctahedron]] and the 24-cell are also radially equilateral.

[[File:8-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 16-point (8-cell) tesseract &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{4,3,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; performing a simple rotation about a plane in 4-space.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}} The stationary plane bisects the figure from front-left to back-right and top to bottom.]]
The [[W:Tesseract|tesseract]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{4,3,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;. It has 16 vertices, 32 edges, 24 square faces, and 8 cube cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the cube.

The 16-point tesseract is the convex hull of a compound of two 8-point 16-cells, in exact dimensional analogy to the way the 8-point cube is the convex hull of a [[W:Stellated octahedron|compound of two 4-point regular tetrahedra]]. The [[W:Demihypercube|demihypercubes]] occupy alternate vertices of the hypercubes. The diagonals of the square faces of the unit-edge, unit-radius tesseract are the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; edges of two unit-radius 16-cells, also the edges of the square central planes.

We can rotate the tesseract isoclinically the way we rotated the 16-cell, by 90° in the characteristic rotation of the 16-cell, with the same effect on both alternate-position 16-cells. In the course of a 720° revolution each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, but it does not visit the vertex positions of the other 16-cell. The two skew {8/3} octagram Clifford polygons lie on two disjoint parallel isoclines of the same chirality, of circumference &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; chords. They form a circular double helix which intersects each vertex of the tesseract once. The double helix is an 8-rung ladder twisted 3 times, then bent into a circle in the fourth dimension. Each rung is a tesseract edge.

The tesseract is the [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]] of the 16-cell. They have the same Petrie polygon, the regular skew octagon, but the tesseract is a construct of 4 Petrie octagons with disjoint sets of 8 tesseract edges each. We can construct the tesseract by skewing two planar octagons. Because the tesseract is radially equilateral (unlike the 16-cell), we use two octagons of unit-edge length to build the unit-radius tesseract. To start we embed the planar octagons in 4-space at the same point and make them completely orthogonal. Then we skew each planar octagon into a cube, so we have a compound of two completely orthogonal cubes, provided we skewed them both in the same direction. The 16 vertices will be the vertices of a tesseract with half its 32 edges missing.

Because the tesseract contains two 16-cells in alternate positions it has two sets of 6 orthogonal square central planes. Two angles are required to specify the relationship between two planes in 4-space. Pairs of square central planes within each 16-cell are 90° apart in one angle, and either 0° or 90° apart in the other angle. They are 90° apart in both angles if and only if they are completely orthogonal planes, 90° apart by isoclinic rotation, with no vertices in common. Otherwise they are 0° apart in one of the angles, 90° apart by simple rotation, and they intersect in one axis and lie in a common 3-dimensional hyperplane.{{Efn|A double rotation in which one of the two angles of rotation is 0°, so that one of the completely orthogonal invariant planes does not rotate, is called a simple rotation. Ordinary rotations observed in a 3-dimensional space are simple rotations.|name=simple rotations}}

A pair of square central planes from alternate-position 16-cells are 60° apart by isoclinic rotation, with their corresponding vertices 120° apart. The planes are not orthogonal or parallel, so they intersect in a line somewhere, but they have no vertices in common, they have no 3-dimensional hyperplane in common, and they cannot reach each other by simple rotation. Such pairs of objects are called [[W:Clifford parallel|Clifford parallel]] because all their corresponding pairs of vertices are the same distance apart, although they are not parallel in the usual sense, because they have a common center. Not only the alternate-position 16-cells' corresponding square central planes, but also the 16-cells themselves, are Clifford parallel objects. More generally, multiple disjoint instances of a 4-polytope which compound to make a larger 4-polytope are Clifford parallel objects.

== The 24-cell ==
[[File:24-cell vertex geometry.png|thumb|Planar geometry of the radially equilateral 24-cell, showing its 3 great circle polygons and its 4 chord lengths.]]
In 2-space we have the radially equilateral 6-point hexagon. In 3-space we have the radially equilateral 12-point cuboctahedron, with 4 hexagonal central planes. In 4-space we have the radially equilateral 24-point 24-cell, with 12 cuboctahedron central hyperplanes and 16 hexagonal central planes.

The [[24-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{3,4,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;. It has 24 vertices, 96 edges, 96 equilateral triangle faces, and 24 octahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the cuboctahedron.

The 24-cell has the same chord set as the 4-hypercube tesseract:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;

[[Image:24-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 24-point 24-cell &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{3,4,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; performing a simple rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}} The 3-dimensional surface made of 24 octahedra is visible.]]
The 24-cell is [[W:Dual polytope|self-dual]], like the regular polygons and regular simplexes. It is the maximal regular construct of triangles and squares (with no pentagons). It is the convex hull of a compound of three disjoint 8-point 16-cells, rotated 60° isoclinically with respect to each other. Each of the three pairs of 16-cells is a tesseract. Each 24-cell edge is also a tesseract edge. The corresponding vertices of two 16-cells or two tesseracts are 120° apart by a &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chord. Each tesseract has 8 cube cells, and each cube has four &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; long diameters. The &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chords joining the corresponding vertices of two tesseracts belong to the third tesseract as cell long diameters.

The 24-cell's Petrie polygon is the regular dodecagon {12}, which has chords:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\tfrac{\sqrt{3}-1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.518,r_2=\sqrt{1},r_3=\sqrt{2},r_4=\sqrt{3},r_5=\tfrac{\sqrt{3}+1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.932,r_6=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;

Fontaine and Hurley's procedure for obtaining the reciprocal of a chord tells us that: 

:&lt;math&gt;r_5-r_3+r_1+r_1-r_3=1/r_5&lt;/math&gt;

when &lt;math&gt;r_1=1&lt;/math&gt;. The procedure rotates counterclockwise over five &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; chords of a {12/5} dodecagram. In the system of unit-radius coordinates &lt;math&gt;r_1=1/r_5&lt;/math&gt;.

The &lt;math&gt;r_1&lt;/math&gt; and &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; chords of the planar dodecagon do not occur in the 24-cell, which is a construct of eight skew dodecagons with disjoint sets of twelve &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt; edges each. In the skew dodecagons the chord lengths are:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{1},r_3=\sqrt{2},r_4=\sqrt{3},r_5=\sqrt{3},r_6=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;

Where chords are the same length, they are distinct only in the context of a rotation.

In a unit-radius 24-cell, all black lines are 24-cell edges of unit length, also tesseract edges. The two disjoint hexagons lie in Clifford parallel central planes. Blue chords are &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; 16-cell edges of Clifford parallel great squares, also isocline chords in great square rotations. Green chords are &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; distances between corresponding vertices of two 16-cells, also isocline chords in great hexagon rotations. The green {12/5} dodecagram is a Clifford polygon.]]
[[File:Regular_star_figure_3(8,3).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/9}=3{8/3} &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;]]
We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in Clifford parallel invariant planes containing 16-cell edges, for example in the characteristic rotation of the 16-cell, with the same effect on all three 16-cells. In 720° each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, but it does not visit the vertex positions of the other 16-cells. The rotational curve over each 90° &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; chord makes three 45° turns. Three Clifford parallel {8/3} octagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; chords form a circular triple helix {24/9}=3{8/3} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once. The triple helix is an 8-step circular staircase that twists around 3 times, and is bent into a torus in the fourth dimension. Each staircase step is a great triangle of &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; chords.

We can also rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in Clifford parallel invariant planes containing 24-cell edges. A complete 24-cell great circle edge plane revolution requires 720° like a complete 16-cell great circle edge plane revolution, but it is completed in 12 isoclinic displacements of 60° each rather than 8 isoclinic displacements of 90° each.  An isoclinic rotation by 60° in any invariant central plane containing a 24-cell edge takes every great hexagon to a Clifford parallel great hexagon in a twisting displacement, as all the invariant planes tilt sideways 60° while rotating 60° internally. It also takes every great square to a Clifford parallel great square. All 24 vertices move at once on Clifford parallel geodesic isoclines, displaced 120° in different directions. The trajectory of each vertex over each 60° rotational displacement is a one-twelfth segment of its geodesic orbit, and its entire orbit traces an isocline circle in 4-space over &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chords. There are two distinct ways we can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in invariant planes containing 24-cell edges, called the ''characteristic left rotation'' and the ''characteristic right rotation'', respectively.

[[File:Regular star figure 2(12,5).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/10}=2{12/5} shows 2 dodecagram isoclines of &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; chords in the 24-cell]]
We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in 12 Clifford parallel invariant planes containing two &lt;math&gt;r_{1}&lt;/math&gt; edges each, over &lt;math&gt;r_{5}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. This is the ''characteristic left rotation of the 24-cell'', also Fontaine and Hurley's counterclockwise rotation over the &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; 2{12/5} star polygon which constructs &lt;math&gt;1/r_5&lt;/math&gt;. The rotational curve over each 120° &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; chord makes five 30° turns. Two Clifford parallel {12/5} dodecagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;10\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular double helix {24/10}=2{12/5} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once. The orbit of each vertex traces an isocline circle in 4-space over 12 &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane 5 times in a moving invariant rotation plane. In the course of a 720° revolution each vertex departs from 12 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 24-cell returns to its original orientation.

We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in 4 Clifford parallel invariant great hexagon planes containing six &lt;math&gt;r_{2}&lt;/math&gt; edges each, over &lt;math&gt;r_{4}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. This is the ''characteristic right rotation of the 24-cell'', also Fontaine and Hurley's counterclockwise rotation over the &lt;math&gt;r_4&lt;/math&gt; 8{3} star polygon which constructs &lt;math&gt;1/r_4&lt;/math&gt;. The rotational curve over each 120° &lt;math&gt;r_4&lt;/math&gt; chord makes four 30° turns.  Eight Clifford parallel triangle geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;2\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;r_4&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular fibration of 8 twisted parallel strands {24/8}=8{3} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once. In three successive 60° isoclinic displacements each vertex circles a triangle and returns to its original position, but the 24-cell returns to its original orientation only after each vertex has completed circuits of the four distinct triangles which intersect at the vertex. The isocline curves over a self-intersecting dodecagram of 12 &lt;math&gt;r_4&lt;/math&gt; chords.

By examining the chords &lt;math&gt;r_i&lt;/math&gt; of the 24-cell's Petrie {12}-gon we found three distinct isoclinic rotations. If we examine the chords &lt;math&gt;t_i&lt;/math&gt; of the 24-cell's {24}-gon we find these and also three other distinct isoclinic rotations.  

Each row of the table is a distinct isoclinic rotation of the 24-cell characterized by a pair of chords that sum to 180°. The edge chords form the rotation's edge {24}-gon, and lie in invariant planes of the rotation. The isocline chords form the rotation's Clifford {24}-gon and lie in the invariant planes completely orthogonal to the edge planes. The rotational angle between successive edge chords and the rotational angle between successive isocline chords also sum to 180°.  

We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in Clifford parallel invariant planes containing 16-cell edges in 6 Clifford parallel invariant great square planes containing four &lt;math&gt;t_{6}&lt;/math&gt; edges each, over &lt;math&gt;t_{6}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. The &lt;math&gt;t_6&lt;/math&gt; chord is the 16-cell-&lt;math&gt;r_2&lt;/math&gt; chord. The edge polygon and the Clifford polygon are both {24/6}=6{4}. This is the ''characteristic right rotation of the 24-cell''.  

The rotational curve over each 90° &lt;math&gt;t_6&lt;/math&gt; chord makes six 15° turns.  Six Clifford parallel skew triangle geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;2\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;t_6&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular fibration of six twisted parallel strands that intersects each 24-cell vertex once. &lt;s&gt;In every 360° of isoclinic rotation each vertex circles a skew great square and returns to its original position, but the 24-cell returns to its original orientation only after each vertex has completed circuits of the three distinct skew squares which intersect at the vertex and the three distinct skew squares which intersect at its antipodal vertex. The isocline curves over a self-intersecting {24}-gon of &lt;math&gt;t_6&lt;/math&gt; chords.&lt;/s&gt;

Invisible in this rendering are 25 inscribed instances of the 24-cell (above), which occur in the 600-cell as interior boundary envelopes.]]
The [[600-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{3,3,5\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;. It has 120 vertices, 720 edges, 1200 equilateral triangle faces, and 600 tetrahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the icosahedron.

The 600-cell rounds out the 24-cell by adding 96 more vertices (four more disjoint 24-cells) between the 24-cell's existing 24 vertices, in effect adding twenty-four more distinct 24-cells inscribed in the 600-cell. The new surface thus formed is a honeycomb of smaller, more numerous cells: tetrahedra of edge length &lt;math&gt;\phi^{-1} \approx 0.618&lt;/math&gt; instead of octahedra of edge length &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt;. It encloses the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt; edges of the 24-cells, which become invisible interior chords in the 600-cell, like the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; and &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; chords.

Since the tetrahedra are made of shorter triangle edges than the octahedra (by a factor of &lt;math&gt;\phi^{-1}&lt;/math&gt;, the inverse golden ratio), the 600-cell is not radially equilateral like the 24-cell and the tesseract. Like them it is radially triangular in a special way, but one in which [[w:Golden_triangle_(mathematics)|golden triangles]] rather than equilateral triangles meet at the center.

In 2-space we have the ''radially golden'' [[W:Decagon#The golden ratio in decagon|regular decagon]]. In 3-space we have the radially golden 30-point [[W:icosidodecahedron|icosidodecahedron]], with 6 decagon central planes. In 4-space we have the radially golden 120-point 600-cell, with 60 icosidodecahedron central hyperplanes and 72 decagon central planes.

The 600-cell's Petrie polygon is the regular [[w:Triacontagon|triacontagon {30}]]. The unit-radius planar {30}-gon has these distinct chords:

:&lt;math&gt;r_1=2 \sin (\tfrac{\pi}{15}/2) \approx 0.209&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_2=2 \sin (\tfrac{2\pi}{15}/2) \approx 0.416&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_3=2 \sin (\tfrac{\pi}{5}/2)=\phi^{-1} \approx 0.618&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_4=2 \sin (\tfrac{4\pi}{15}/2) \approx 0.813&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_5=2 \sin (\tfrac{\pi}{3}/2)=\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_6=2 \sin (\tfrac{2\pi}{5}/2)=\sqrt{3-\phi} \approx 1.176&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_7=2 \sin (\tfrac{7\pi}{15}/2) \approx 1.338&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_8=2 \cos (\tfrac{7\pi}{15}/2) \approx 1.486&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_9=2 \sin (\tfrac{3\pi}{5}/2)=\phi \approx 1.618&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{10}=2 \sin (\tfrac{2\pi}{3}/2)=\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{11}=2 \cos (\tfrac{4\pi}{15}/2) \approx 1.827&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{12}=2 \sin (\tfrac{4\pi}{5}/2)=\sqrt{2+\phi} \approx 1.902&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{13}=2 \cos (\tfrac{2\pi}{15}/2) \approx 1.956&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{14}=2 \cos (\tfrac{\pi}{15}/2) \approx 1.989&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;r_{15}=2 \sin (\pi/2)=\sqrt{4}&lt;/math&gt;

Only the chord lengths &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_5&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_6&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_9&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_{10}&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_{12}&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;r_{15}&lt;/math&gt; occur in the 600-cell, which is a construct of 24 Petrie {30}-gons of edge length &lt;math&gt;r_3&lt;/math&gt;, six of which intersect in each icosahedral vertex figure. In the skew {30}-gons the chord lengths are:

Where chords are the same length, they are distinct only in the context of a rotation.

The list of 600-cell chords &lt;math&gt;r_{i}&lt;/math&gt; can be rearranged into a table of 8 rows and 2 columns with a pair of 180° complements in each row. The short chord and long chord each have their characteristic {30/n}-gon. Each row identifies a discrete isoclinic rotation of the 600-cell in invariant central planes containing the edges of the short chord {30}-gon, over the isocline chords of the long chord {30}-gon, the rotation's Clifford polygon.

Each distinct pair of complementary chord lengths is identified with a distinct [[w:600-cell#Polyhedral sections|polyhedral section of the 600-cell]] beginning with a vertex. In spherical [[w:3-sphere|3-dimensional space &lt;math&gt;\mathbb{S}^3&lt;/math&gt;]], every vertex is the center of a set of 7 concentric polyhedra of increasing radii that nest like [[w:Matryoshka_doll|Russian dolls.]] The smallest polyhedral section at radial distance &lt;math&gt;\phi^{-1}&lt;/math&gt; is a icosahedron vertex figure, and the largest section at radial distance &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; is an [[W:Icosidodecahedron|icosidodecahedron]] central section bisecting the 600-cell. Because  [[w:3-sphere|&lt;math&gt;\mathbb{S}^3&lt;/math&gt;]] is spherical, at radial distances greater than &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; the successive complement-radius polyhedra decrease in size, to the antipodal icosahedron vertex figure at distance &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2+\phi}&lt;/math&gt;. In Euclidean 4-dimensional space &lt;math&gt;\mathbb{R}^4&lt;/math&gt;, every vertex is the apex of 7 [[w:Hyperpyramid|polyhedral pyramids]], where the pyramid's lateral edge length is the radial distance and its base polyhedron is the section. Each section lies parallel to a congruent complement-radius section (or coincident with it, in the case of the central section).

[[File:Regular_star_figure_3(8,3).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/9}=3{8/3} &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;]]
We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in the great square rotation characteristic of the 16-cell,  with the same effect on 15 disjoint 16-cells. Each 90° displacement takes 15 pairs of completely orthogonal invariant great square planes to each other. In the course of a 720° revolution each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, without visiting other vertex positions. The rotational curve over each 90° chord makes three 45° turns. Fifteen Clifford parallel {8/3} octagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;6\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular fibration of 15 twisted parallel strands 5{24/9}=15{8/3} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.

The 600-cell has another distinct isoclinic rotation in invariant great square planes, which has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. This [''great square left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell]'' takes place over &lt;math&gt;r_7&lt;/math&gt; edge chords and &lt;math&gt;r_8&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. The {30/7} edge polygon is a skew helix of circumference &lt;math&gt;14\pi&lt;/math&gt; with each &lt;math&gt;r_7&lt;/math&gt; edge belonging to a distinct great square. The four {30/7} polygrams contribute one edge each to 30 great squares. Each 90° displacement takes every 16-cell to another 16-cell. The vertices of the invariant great squares each make seven orbits on a great circle within the moving invariant plane in the course of one complete revolution. The rotational curve over each 90° {30/7} edge makes seven 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/7} geodesics of circumference &lt;math&gt;16\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. The {30/8}=2{15/4} Clifford polygon is a compound of two skew {15/4} pentadecagrams of circumference &lt;math&gt;16\pi&lt;/math&gt; with each &lt;math&gt;r_8&lt;/math&gt; isocline chord belonging to a distinct 16-cell. The four {30/8} polygrams contribute one edge each to 30 great squares. The rotational curve over each 90° {30/8} isocline chord makes eight 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/8} geodesics of circumference &lt;math&gt;16\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.

[[File:Regular star figure 2(12,5).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/10}=2{12/5} &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt; ]]
We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in the great hexagon rotation characteristic of the 24-cell, over &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt; edge chords and &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords, with the same effect on 5 disjoint 24-cells. In the course of a 720° revolution each vertex departs from 12 vertex positions of its 24-cell just once and returns to its original position, without visiting other vertex positions. Ten Clifford parallel {12/5} dodecagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;10\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular fibration of ten twisted parallel strands 5{24/10}=10{12/5} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. 

The 600-cell has another distinct isoclinic rotation in invariant great hexagon planes, over &lt;math&gt;r_{4}=\sqrt{1}&lt;/math&gt; edge chords and &lt;math&gt;r_{11}=\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords This [''invariant great hexagon left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell]'' has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. Its {30/11} Clifford polygon is a skew helix where each &lt;math&gt;r_{11}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chord is the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{3}&lt;/math&gt; diagonal of a great hexagon of a distinct 24-cell. The vertices of the invariant great hexagons of this rotation each make eleven orbits on a great circle within the moving invariant plane in the course of one complete revolution. The rotational curve over each 120° &lt;math&gt;r_{11}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chord makes eleven 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/11} geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;22\pi&lt;/math&gt; over &lt;math&gt;r_{11}&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. 

We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in 12 Clifford parallel invariant decagon central planes containing its 36° &lt;math&gt;r_{3}&lt;/math&gt; edges, over 144° &lt;math&gt;r_{12}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. This ''invariant great decagon rotation characteristic of the 600-cell'' has period 5 and takes disjoint 24-cells to each other. The rotational curve over each &lt;math&gt;r_{12}&lt;/math&gt; chord of its {5/2} Clifford polygon makes twelve 12° turns. 24 Clifford parallel {5/2} pentagram geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;4\pi&lt;/math&gt; over five &lt;math&gt;r_{12}&lt;/math&gt; chords form a circular fibration of 24 twisted parallel strands 4{30/12}=24{5/2} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. 

The rotation of the 600-cell by 36° in any invariant decagon central plane takes every great decagon to a Clifford parallel great decagon in a twisting displacement, as all the central planes tilt sideways 36° while rotating 36° internally. It also takes every great hexagon to a Clifford parallel great hexagon, and every great square to a Clifford parallel great square. The 24-cells revolve within the 600-cell, as the 16-cells revolve within the 24-cells. All 120 vertices move at once on four Clifford parallel geodesic isoclines, displaced 144° in different directions.

The 600-cell has another distinct isoclinic rotation in invariant great decagon planes containing its 36° &lt;math&gt;r_{2}&lt;/math&gt; edges, over 144° &lt;math&gt;r_{13}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chords. This [''great decagon left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell]'' has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. The rotational curve over each 144° &lt;math&gt;r_{13}&lt;/math&gt; isocline chord makes thirteen 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/13} geodesic isoclines of circumference &lt;math&gt;26\pi&lt;/math&gt; form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.

This table first appears in [[w:Regular_Polytopes_(book)|''Regular Polytopes'']] (1947),{{Sfn|Coxeter|1973|loc=Table V(v): Simplified sections of {5,3,3} beginning with a vertex|pp=300-301}} where Coxeter identified each row with a distinct [[w:120-cell#Concentric_hulls|polyhedral section of the 120-cell]] beginning with a vertex. In spherical [[w:3-sphere|3-dimensional space &lt;math&gt;\mathbb{S}^3&lt;/math&gt;]], every vertex is the center of a set of 29 concentric polyhedra of increasing radii that nest like [[w:Matryoshka_doll|Russian dolls.]] The smallest polyhedral section at radial distance &lt;math&gt;c_1&lt;/math&gt; is a tetrahedron vertex figure, and the largest section at radial distance &lt;math&gt;c_{15}&lt;/math&gt; is a central section bisecting the 120-cell. Because  [[w:3-sphere|&lt;math&gt;\mathbb{S}^3&lt;/math&gt;]] is spherical, at radial distances greater than &lt;math&gt;c_{15}&lt;/math&gt; the successive complement-radius polyhedra decrease in size, to the antipodal tetrahedron vertex figure at distance &lt;math&gt;c_{29}&lt;/math&gt;. In Euclidean 4-dimensional space &lt;math&gt;\mathbb{R}^4&lt;/math&gt;, every vertex is the apex of 29 [[w:Hyperpyramid|polyhedral pyramids]], where the pyramid's lateral edge length is the radial distance and its base polyhedron is the section. Each section lies parallel to a congruent complement-radius section (or coincident with it, in the case of the central section). Each section also lies completely orthogonal to a congruent section. 

Only 8 of the 30 chords in the table occur in the 600-cell and the planar {30)-gon. The 120-cell's additional chords arise originally from the regular 5-cell, in its interaction with the other regular 4-polytopes that compound to make the 120-cell. Since all those polytopes except the 5-cell occur in the 600-cell, and the 600-cell and the 120-cell have the same symmetry group, the 5-cell's symmetry group is what's new in the 120-cell.

== Finally the 120-cell ==
The [[120-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol &lt;small&gt;&lt;math&gt;\{5,3,3\}&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/small&gt;. It has 600 vertices, 1200 edges, 720 pentagon faces, and 120 dodecahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the dodecahedron.

The 120-cell is the [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]] of the 600-cell. They have the same Petrie polygon, the regular skew triacontagon {30}, but the 120-cell is a construct of 40 Petrie {30}-gons of edge length &lt;math&gt;c_1&lt;/math&gt;, two of which intersect in each tetrahedral vertex figure.

== Conclusions ==

Fontaine and Hurley's discovery is more than a geometric formula for the reciprocal of a regular ''n''-polygon diagonal. It also yields the discrete sequence of isocline chords of the characteristic isoclinic rotation of a ''d''-dimensional polytope in its invariant edge planes. The characteristic rotational chord sequence of the ''d''-polytope can be represented geometrically in two dimensions on a distinct star polygon, but it lies on a geodesic circle through ''d''-dimensional space. Fontaine and Hurley discovered the geodesic topology of polytopes generally. Their procedure will reveal the geodesics of arbitrary non-uniform polytopes, since it can be applied to a polytope of any dimensionality and irregularity, by first fitting the polytope to the smallest regular polygon whose chords include its chords. [If what is meant by this is its Petrie polygon, it is not quite necessary or possible with respect to the planar polygon chords, e.g. the planar Petrie polygon of the 600-cell does not contain the &lt;math&gt;\sqrt{2}&lt;/math&gt; chord. But perhaps it would work if the fit is to the smallest regular skew polygon in the ''d''-space.]

The discovery of a chordal construction for discrete isoclinic rotations generally closes the circuit on Kappraff and Adamson's discovery of a rotational connection between dynamical systems, Steinbach's golden fields, and Coxeter's Euclidean geometry of ''n'' dimensions. Application of the Fontaine and Hurley procedure in the 120-cell demonstrates why the connection exists: because polytope sequences generally, from Steinbach's golden chord sequences in polygons, to sequences of star polygons in isoclinic rotations, to subsumption relations in the sequence of regular 4-polytopes, arise as expressions of the reflections and rotations of distinct Coxeter symmetry groups, when those various groups interact.

'''Updates for editors'''
* The tray shown on [[Special:Diff|Special:Diff]] in mobile view has been redesigned. It is now collapsed by default, and incorporates a link to undo the edit being viewed, making it easier for mobile editors and reviewers to take action while keeping the interface uncluttered. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T402297] 
* [[m:Special:GlobalWatchlist|The Global Watchlist]] lets you view your watchlists from multiple wikis on one page. The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:GlobalWatchlist|extension]] continues to improve — it now automatically determines the text direction (ensuring correct display of sites with unusual domain names) and shows detailed descriptions for log actions. Later this week, a new permanent link for page creations and CSS classes for each entry element will be added.

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* As mentioned in the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2025/44|October 2025 deprecation announcement]], MediaWiki Interfaces team will begin sunsetting all transform endpoints containing a trailing slash from the MediaWiki REST API the week of January 26. Changes are expected to roll out to all wikis on or before January 30th. All API users currently calling them are encouraged to transition to the non-trailing slash versions. Both endpoint variations can be found, compared, and tested using the [https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:RestSandbox REST Sandbox]. If you have questions or encounter any problems, please file a ticket in Phabricator to the [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/6931/ #MW-Interfaces-Team board].
* Interactive reference documentation for the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia REST API|Wikimedia REST API]] has moved. Requests to API docs previously hosted through [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/RESTBase|RESTBase]] (e.g.: &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/&lt;/code&gt;) are now redirected to the [[w:en:Special:RestSandbox|REST Sandbox]].
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata Platform|WMF Wikidata Platform team]] (WDP) has published its [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Wikidata Platform team/Newsletter|January 2026 newsletter]]. It includes updates on the legacy full-graph endpoint decommissioning, the User-Agent policy change, the monthly Blazegraph migration office hours, and efforts to reduce regressions caused by the legacy endpoint shutdown. As a reminder, you can [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Global message delivery/Targets/WDP team updates|subscribe to the WDP newsletter]]!

'''Updates for editors'''
* Wikimedia Foundation invites comments on [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Product and Technology Advisory Council/Year1 Reflections and Proposed Way Forward 2026 Update|proposed future]] of the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Product and Technology Advisory Council|Product and Technology Advisory Council]] until 28 February.
* All users with registered accounts can now use passkeys for [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Two-factor authentication|two-factor authentication]] (2FA). Passkeys are a simple way to log in without using a second device. They verify the user's identity using a fingerprint, face scan, or a PIN code. To set up a passkey, first set up a regular 2FA method. Currently, to log in with a passkey, users must also use a password. Later this quarter, passwordless login will allow users to log in with a single click and a passkey. Users with advanced rights will also be required to have 2FA enabled. This is part of the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Product Safety and Integrity/Account Security|Account Security]] project.
* Unregistered contributors on blocked IPs or blocked IP ranges can now interact on-wiki to appeal a block by creating a temporary account to appeal a block on the user talk page, unless the &quot;prevent this user from editing their own talk page&quot; is enabled. This solves the problem of logged-out users unable to use the default unblock process via user talk page. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T398673]

For example, the Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) methods description on the management page has been updated. It is now clearer and easier for users to understand and make use of. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T332385]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* A new AbuseFilter variable, &lt;code&gt;account_type&lt;/code&gt;, has been added to provide a reliable way to determine the account type being created in the &lt;code&gt;createaccount&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;autocreateaccount&lt;/code&gt; actions. As part of this change, the variable &lt;code&gt;accountname&lt;/code&gt; has been renamed to &lt;code&gt;account_name&lt;/code&gt;, and &lt;code&gt;accountname&lt;/code&gt; is now deprecated. Edit filter managers should update any filters that use hardcoded account type checks or the deprecated variable. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T414049]
* Image thumbnails that are requested in non-standard sizes, and using non-standard methods such as direct requests to &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;upload.wikimedia.org/…&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; will stop working in the near future. This change is to prevent ongoing external abuse by web-scrapers and bots. Some users with custom CSS/JS, Interface Admins who can fix gadgets and local skins, and Tool-authors, will need to update their code to use standard thumbnail sizes. [[phab:T414805|Details, search-links, and examples of how to fix them, are available in the task]].

'''Updates for editors'''
* [[File:Maki-gift-15.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Wishlist item]] Logged-in contributors who manage large or complex watchlists can now organise and filter watched pages in ways that improve their workflows with the new [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Watchlist labels|Watchlist labels]] feature. By adding custom labels (for example: pages you created, pages being monitored for vandalism, or discussion pages) users can more quickly identify what needs attention, reduce cognitive load, and respond more efficiently. This improves watchlist usability, especially for highly active editors.
* A new feature available on [[Special:Contributions|Special:Contributions]] shows [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] that are likely operated by the same person, and so makes patrolling less time-consuming. Upon checking contributions of a temporary account, users with access to temporary account IP addresses can now see a view of contributions from the related temporary accounts. The feature looks up all the IPs associated with a given temporary account within the data retention period and shows all the contributions of all temporary accounts that have used these IPs. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts#February 2026: Improvements to the patroller tooling|Learn more]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T415674] 
* When editors preview a wikitext edit, the reminder box that they are only seeing a preview (which is shown at the top), now has a grey/neutral background instead of a yellow/warning background. This makes it easier to distinguish preview notes from actual warnings (for example, edit conflicts or problematic redirect targets), which will now be shown in separate warning or error boxes.

* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Site Reliability Engineering|SRE Team]] will be performing a cleanup of Wikimedia's [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Etherpad|Etherpad]] instance, the web-based editor for real-time collaborative document editing. All pads will be permanently deleted after 30 April, 2026 – if there are still migration projects in progress at that point the team can revisit the date on a case by case basis. Please create local backups of any content you wish to keep, as deleted data cannot be recovered. This cleanup helps reduce database size and minimize infrastructure footprint. Etherpad will continue to support real-time collaboration, but long-term storage should not be expected. Additional cleanups may occur in the future without prior notice.

= The Ignorant Observer Framework =

''This research page is authored and maintained by [[User:IgnorantObserver|Aernoud Dekker]], an independent researcher and the originator of the framework described below. Page text is offered for review, critique, and collaborative refinement under [[Wikiversity:Copyrights|Wikiversity's standard licence]].''

== Status ==

Research project under active development. The framework is an interlinked set of technical and interpretive documents published at [https://ignorantobserver.xyz ignorantobserver.xyz] and archived on the [https://osf.io Open Science Framework]. ''The Ignorant Observer'' is the foundational paper. ''Where Did the Measurement Basis Come From?'' is the conceptual bridge that states, for a physics reader, exactly what claim the framework makes about the measurement basis. ''Bandwidth-Limited Quantum Control'' (BLQC) is the operational layer: a finite-rate phase-reference control law and its laboratory benchmark. ''A Capacity-Calibrated Protocol for Testing Penrose Objective Reduction'' applies that benchmark as the calibration arm of a test of gravitational collapse. A companion paper, ''The Born Rule from Finite Observation'', derives the binary Born form conditionally from finite-record geometry, and a no-go companion marks where that route stops. All work is single-authored.

'''Where the framework stands (July 2026).''' IOF is an interpretation of quantum mechanics, not a rival to it. Its central empirical claim was once sharpened to a testable form — that finite basis tracking produces an ''unrecoverable'' visibility loss, a genuine deviation from standard quantum mechanics — and that strong reading was found to be '''excluded by existing experiments'''. What survives is a no-world-collapse interpretation carrying a ''recoverable'', calibrated control-theoretic subtheory. Everett is the preferred host developed in the corpus, but not an exclusive one; scoped single-history and pilot-wave hosts remain possible. This page raises the strong reading and states its exclusion rather than asserting it.

== One-sentence thesis ==

Quantum measurement normally treats the basis as if it came from outside physics. The Ignorant Observer Framework treats the basis as a finite physical reference variable generated and tracked inside the apparatus itself — and reads quantum randomness as an observer-side appearance of bounded access, while the host supplies quantum phase and cross-context coherence.

== What kind of claim this is ==

The framework has three layers, kept deliberately in separate books and adjudicated by different standards. Confusing them is the most common misreading, so they are named up front.

* '''Operational layer''' (classical, measurable). The deficit κ = ''h''&lt;sub&gt;θ&lt;/sub&gt; − ''C''&lt;sub&gt;eff&lt;/sub&gt; ln 2 is a calibrated control law for the visibility of ''unconditioned'' records. Here ''h''&lt;sub&gt;θ&lt;/sub&gt; is the source-side instability rate relevant to tracking the designated basis coordinate θ; it equals the full Kolmogorov–Sinai rate ''h''&lt;sub&gt;KS&lt;/sub&gt; only in a one-effective-positive-mode source or when a projection result or coordinate-level calibration licenses that identification. Confirming the law '''benchmarks the apparatus; it does not discriminate IOF from quantum mechanics'''. Its hallmark is ''recoverability'': the lost contrast returns when the realised reference is supplied.
* '''Foundations layer''' (structural reconstruction). A conditional derivation obtains the binary Born weight ''p''(θ) = cos²(θ/2) from finite-record geometry under two named bridge assumptions and extends it, through hierarchical binary discrimination, to one calibrated finite-outcome context. A companion no-go theorem shows that the same route cannot generate quantum phase or cross-context composition. This is a reconstruction, not an independent empirical prediction — a constant Fisher information ''I''(θ) is itself a standard-quantum prediction, so the test of the bridge premise is a consistency check.
* '''Interpretation layer''' (the framework's identity). IOF adds no ontic collapse or stochastic selection. In the preferred Everettian host all outcomes occur; in scoped single-history hosts one outcome occurs without an IOF-added random selector. In either case apparent collapse is a record-relative information update, and randomness is the name a finite observer gives to an outcome whose determining dependencies it cannot resolve. The binary Born form is reconstructed on the finite-record side; phase and cross-context coherence remain host-side.

Because the framework as a whole reproduces standard quantum mechanics, it is '''not falsifiable as a whole — by design, not by evasion'''. Its falsifiable content is modular and named: the operational control law (with the caveat that a failure there indicts the apparatus model and the calibration of ''C''&lt;sub&gt;eff&lt;/sub&gt; and ''h''&lt;sub&gt;θ&lt;/sub&gt; before it indicts the framework); the Fisher-homogeneity premise of the Born bridge (exposed in the falsifying direction only); and a registered chaotic-corner module carried with the prior strongly against it.

== Core question ==

''When the classical degrees of freedom that define a measurement basis generate task-relevant information faster than the apparatus can track it, do the apparatus's raw, unconditioned records lose interference contrast on a schedule set by the deficit'' κ = ''h''&lt;sub&gt;θ&lt;/sub&gt; − ''C''&lt;sub&gt;eff&lt;/sub&gt; ln 2 ''— and is that loss recoverable by conditioning on a log of the realised reference?''

The framework's answer is yes to both, and the second half is the point. The loss is reference-frame physics ''within'' quantum mechanics, not a new channel beyond it: standard quantum mechanics already says that records taken against a blurred reference lose contrast, and recovers that contrast once the reference is restored. IOF's contribution is to make the blur a calibrated, controllable quantity — a number a laboratory can dial up and down.

== The strong reading, and why it was excluded ==

A bolder reading of the same formula would make the visibility loss ''unrecoverable'': a capacity-dependent suppression that no offline log could undo — that is, a measurable deviation from standard quantum mechanics. Sharpened, that reading requires the unresolved basis not to imprint on the records (a Markov condition giving a recovery statistic ''R''&lt;sub&gt;rec&lt;/sub&gt; ≈ 0).

Existing experiments exclude it. Logged-setting Bell tests recover the full quantum correlation when the realised settings are recorded and the data are sorted offline (Weihs et al. 1998); randomized-measurement tomography and classical shadows choose observables ''after'' measurement and reconstruct the quantum state (Huang, Kueng &amp; Preskill 2020); correlation spectroscopy recovers coherence beyond the laser linewidth from cross-records. In every case the lost contrast comes back — ''R''&lt;sub&gt;rec&lt;/sub&gt; ≈ 1 up to ordinary imperfections. The suppression is phase averaging over an unresolved reference, not a new physical channel; IOF's own diffusive formula correctly describes the ''raw, unconditioned'' signal, and the recovery is what reveals it as bookkeeping. The framework therefore raises the strong reading and excludes it; it does not claim it.

One corner remains formally open, and is registered rather than asserted: recoverability under ''certified deterministic-chaotic'' basis dynamics has not been directly tested. It is carried in the protocol with the prior strongly against any difference from the diffusive case, and a positive there would overturn the corpus's own exclusion, not confirm a surviving claim.

== Technical proposal ==

The framework introduces the following quantities.

'''Effective channel capacity ''C''&lt;sub&gt;eff&lt;/sub&gt;''' (bits/s): the information rate available to the basis-tracking control loop, operationalised as
:''C''&lt;sub&gt;eff&lt;/sub&gt; = ''r'' · ''b'' · ''f''
with ''r'' the update rate (Hz), ''b'' the effective bits per update that constrain the basis variable θ, and ''f'' ∈ (0,1] the fraction of updates that genuinely constrain θ after overhead and latency. ''C''&lt;sub&gt;eff&lt;/sub&gt; is ultimately bounded by the Landauer limit on the controller's irreversible bookkeeping,
:''C''&lt;sub&gt;eff&lt;/sub&gt; ≤ ''P'' / (''k''&lt;sub&gt;B&lt;/sub&gt; ''T'' ln 2),
but this is a thermodynamic ceiling, not the operating point: realised ''C''&lt;sub&gt;eff&lt;/sub&gt; is typically far lower and must be calibrated as ''useful'' information actually constraining θ, since added power can equally couple to actuator noise or backaction channels that do not constrain the basis.

'''Task-relevant source rate ''h''&lt;sub&gt;θ&lt;/sub&gt;''' (nats/s): the instability or information-production rate that actually burdens tracking of the designated basis coordinate θ. It is source-side, not the entropy of the observer. The full Kolmogorov–Sinai rate ''h''&lt;sub&gt;KS&lt;/sub&gt; is the source's uncertainty-volume production rate and equals ''h''&lt;sub&gt;θ&lt;/sub&gt; only in a one-effective-positive-mode reduction or under an explicit projection result or coordinate-level calibration. The nats/s convention lets κ combine ''h''&lt;sub&gt;θ&lt;/sub&gt; and ''C''&lt;sub&gt;eff&lt;/sub&gt; ln 2 in consistent units.

'''Self-ignorance rate κ''' (s&lt;sup&gt;−1&lt;/sup&gt;):
:κ = ''h''&lt;sub&gt;θ&lt;/sub&gt; − ''C''&lt;sub&gt;eff&lt;/sub&gt; · ln 2
with two regimes. When κ &lt; 0 (''capacity-wins''), basis-tracking error stays bounded and standard quantum visibility is recovered, modulo ordinary decoherence. When κ &gt; 0 (''chaos-wins''), '''standard quantum mechanics still holds''' — nothing new happens to the world — but the observer's reference is no longer fully resolved, and the variance of the basis-tracking error grows as σ&lt;sub&gt;θ&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;(''t'') = σ&lt;sub&gt;0&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; e&lt;sup&gt;2κ''t''&lt;/sup&gt;, so the ''raw, unconditioned'' records lose contrast.

'''Measured visibility and fringe phase'''. For an arbitrary logged tracking-error distribution, the exact reference factor is the circular phasor
:''G''&lt;sub&gt;ref&lt;/sub&gt;(''t'') = E[e&lt;sup&gt;−iδθ(t)&lt;/sup&gt;].
Its magnitude predicts the visibility multiplier and its argument predicts the fringe displacement. Only when the centered Gaussian or wrapped-Gaussian gate passes does this reduce to
:|''G''&lt;sub&gt;ref&lt;/sub&gt;(''t'')| = exp(−½ σ&lt;sub&gt;θ&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;(''t'')),
and, over the registered pre-wrapping range where σ&lt;sub&gt;θ&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;(''t'') = σ&lt;sub&gt;0&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;e&lt;sup&gt;2κ''t''&lt;/sup&gt;, to the double-exponential submodel ''V''(''t'') = exp(−½σ&lt;sub&gt;0&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;e&lt;sup&gt;2κ''t''&lt;/sup&gt;). Variance alone does not determine visibility for a general residual distribution.

'''Reference and baseline visibility'''. When the reference error is separable from the baseline coherence channel, the observed visibility factorises as ''V''&lt;sub&gt;obs&lt;/sub&gt; = ''V''&lt;sub&gt;std&lt;/sub&gt;|''G''&lt;sub&gt;ref&lt;/sub&gt;|. If reference error correlates with baseline coherence, detector acceptance, or geometry, this product is not licensed and the registered joint per-shot model must be used. The reference contribution is recoverable when the realised reference is supplied and may otherwise be misassigned to ordinary decoherence.

'''Breakdown time ''t''&lt;sub&gt;break&lt;/sub&gt;'''. For a chosen visibility threshold ''V''*,
:''t''&lt;sub&gt;break&lt;/sub&gt; = (1 / 2κ) · ln(−2 ln ''V''* / σ&lt;sub&gt;0&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;),    κ &gt; 0.
''t''&lt;sub&gt;break&lt;/sub&gt; is the operational layer's primary observable.

The benchmark uses a one-effective-mode reference source, for which ''h''&lt;sub&gt;θ&lt;/sub&gt; = ''h''&lt;sub&gt;KS&lt;/sub&gt;. Beyond that reference model, identifying a scalar tracking rate with the full ''h''&lt;sub&gt;KS&lt;/sub&gt; requires a separate projection result or coordinate-level calibration (see [[#Open review targets|Open review targets]]).

== The operational benchmark and the Penrose test ==

The experimental layer has two roles, and keeping them apart is essential: an operational ''benchmark'' that calibrates the apparatus, and a ''discrimination'' arm that tests gravitational collapse. Neither tests IOF against quantum mechanics.

'''The benchmark (calibration arm).''' First calibrate the complete estimator/controller chain and its useful timely capacity in a reference-only arm, then freeze that calibration before quantum outcomes. Vary ''C''&lt;sub&gt;eff&lt;/sub&gt; through a preregistered delivery schedule at clamped temperature, readout signal-to-noise, latency, actuator behaviour, and mass geometry. The prediction is that the raw-record breakdown time moves with κ = ''h''&lt;sub&gt;θ&lt;/sub&gt; − ''C''&lt;sub&gt;eff&lt;/sub&gt; ln 2. The distribution-free prediction is the trajectory-conditioned complex phasor; the double-exponential curve is used only after its Gaussian and dynamic-range gates pass. Confirmation benchmarks the instrument within standard quantum mechanics; failure indicts the apparatus model or calibration before it indicts the framework.

'''The recoverability classifier.''' The decisive operational quantity is the recovery statistic ''R''&lt;sub&gt;rec&lt;/sub&gt;: condition the raw records on a passive, full-resolution shadow log of the realised reference and ask whether the lost contrast returns. ''Recoverable'' (''R''&lt;sub&gt;rec&lt;/sub&gt; → 1) is reference-frame physics — the framework's own expected case, in the lineage of quantum reference frames (Bartlett, Rudolph &amp; Spekkens 2007). ''Unrecoverable'' loss is decoherence-type or collapse-type. The classifier is what separates the framework's subject from everything that is not its subject.

'''The discrimination arm — a test of Penrose, not of IOF.''' With tracking held at maximal capacity and the engineered channel quiet, sweep mass geometry and look for a κ-independent, ''unrecoverable'' visibility floor — the signature of gravitational [[w:Penrose interpretation|objective reduction]] (OR), whose timescale ''τ''&lt;sub&gt;OR&lt;/sub&gt; ≈ ℏ/''E''&lt;sub&gt;G&lt;/sub&gt; is fixed by the gravitational self-energy of the superposition. The framework's contribution here is methodological: the calibrated reference channel and the ''R''&lt;sub&gt;rec&lt;/sub&gt; classifier measure and subtract everything the observer's own finitude contributes, so that a null becomes a genuine bound on objective reduction and a surviving floor is certified as nature's rather than the apparatus's. '''The experiment tests Penrose's proposal, not IOF against quantum mechanics''': if an unrecoverable floor is found, quantum mechanics itself needs repair and Penrose is vindicated; if none is found, his proposal is constrained — and IOF remains exactly what it was, a way of understanding why quantum mechanics works. Neither outcome discriminates IOF from quantum mechanics.

This discipline has a sharp boundary, worth stating: calibration can move only the probability of a ''correct verdict given the data''; it cannot move the probability that objective reduction is true. The instrument decides; it does not vote.

The architecture is also not specific to Penrose. The same calibrate–subtract–classify procedure reads against the whole dynamical-collapse family — spontaneous-localisation (GRW/CSL) models and Diósi–Penrose gravitational collapse alike — distinguished by the variable the surviving floor scales with (mass and geometry for OR, nucleon-number amplification for GRW/CSL). Penrose is the flagship target because its schedule lands in an experimentally accessible mesoscopic window and carries a live debate, not because the method is bespoke to it. The [https://www.qgemproject.com/ QGEM] pathfinder is one candidate testbed; superconducting-qubit readout chains and precision-interferometer phase-locking loops are others.

'''The Fisher-homogeneity module.''' A separate module tests the Born-derivation bridge by measuring whether the empirical Fisher information ''I''(θ) is approximately constant across the calibrated basis range, as the scalar-threshold-homogeneity premise requires. Because a flat ''I''(θ) is ''also'' what standard quantum mechanics predicts for an ideal binary readout, a homogeneous result confirms a shared prediction and lends no positive weight to the bridge; the module is a falsification-only check on a foundations premise, logically independent of the κ-benchmark.

== Relation to quantum foundations ==

* '''The measurement problem'''. IOF introduces no world-side collapse. The host state continues according to the host dynamics, while &quot;collapse&quot; names only the bounded observer's update from unresolved alternatives to a definite record. In Everett all decohered outcomes occur and uncertainty is self-locating; in a scoped single-history host one outcome occurs without an IOF-added stochastic selector. In both cases the observer calls the answer random because the dependencies that determine its record are outside its finite access. Developed at length in ''[https://ignorantobserver.xyz/documents/Where_Did_the_Measurement_Basis_Come_From.pdf Where Did the Measurement Basis Come From?]''
* '''Indexed objectivity'''. The definiteness an observer meets is objective ''indexed to its configuration'' — irreducible at that access, found the same way by every inspector there. Penrose's proposal is precisely that the index can be dropped: that definiteness is absolute, gravitationally enforced, with no log anywhere able to restore the superposition. ''R''&lt;sub&gt;rec&lt;/sub&gt; is that question made operational — ''does the index drop?''
* '''ψ-ontic, collapse-epistemic'''. Within the empirical model the wavefunction is ontic and never collapses, so no-go results in the style of Pusey–Barrett–Rudolph — which constrain ψ-''epistemic'' models — do not bear against the framework; they support the wavefunction realism IOF requires. What is epistemic in IOF is ''collapse'': the record-relative update of a finite observer.
* '''Relational Quantum Mechanics''' (Rovelli) takes outcomes to be relative to an observer–system; the framework offers one candidate physical mechanism — finite ''C''&lt;sub&gt;eff&lt;/sub&gt; against the task-relevant source rate ''h''&lt;sub&gt;θ&lt;/sub&gt; — for what makes one observer's frame physically inequivalent to another's.
* '''Decoherence theory''' is not opposed. The framework brought one further thing inside the physics that decoherence leaves outside: the causal history of the measurement ''setting''. In the capacity-wins regime standard decoherence theory is recovered.
* '''Measurement independence'''. Extended to Bell-type set-ups, IOF does not assume measurement independence: the setting and the system share a common past, so they need not be statistically independent. This places the framework in the superdeterministic family in the technical sense only — non-conspiratorial, with no fine-tuned ledger and no signalling, in the spirit of Palmer (2024). The shared ancestry is real but structurally inaccessible to the embedded observer; the framework names this ''epistemically bounded ancestral correlation''. IOF does not derive the Bell correlations from this alone — the Born weights and joint correlations are supplied by the hosted no-collapse embedding and recovered in the capacity-wins limit. A full consistency treatment, including a no-signalling lemma, remains an [[#Open review targets|open review target]].
* '''Information geometry'''. The conditional Born reconstruction runs from finite-record constraints through a Fisher capacity bridge, Cencov's uniqueness theorem, and square-root record coordinates to ''p''(θ) = cos²(θ/2), with hierarchical binary discrimination extending the weights to one calibrated finite-outcome context. A companion no-go theorem shows this route does ''not'' generate quantum phase, interference between non-commuting contexts, or cross-context composition. Those structures remain host-side, and their unique gluing to the record weights remains open.
* '''Penrose Objective Reduction''' is treated as the live ''discrimination target'' of the experiment, not as a rival to be ruled out by the framework and not as a co-contributing IOF mechanism. The earlier &quot;additive combined-rate&quot; reading, and a speculative ''Bridge Ansatz'' identifying ''E''&lt;sub&gt;G&lt;/sub&gt; with κ, have both been retired: the ansatz met its own failure criterion and survives only as explicitly speculative cosmogony in ''The Creation of Duality''. What remains is the clean division of variables — mass and geometry set ''τ''&lt;sub&gt;OR&lt;/sub&gt;; capacity and instability set the benchmark — and the recoverability classifier that keeps them apart.

== The measurement problem: where the Heisenberg cut sits ==

The framework gives an operational reading of the Heisenberg cut — the boundary between the quantum description used for the system and the classical description used for the apparatus and record. Standard interpretations place it variously: von Neumann showed it can be slid without changing predictions and treated its location as conventional; decoherence ties it to the rate of environmental coupling; objective-collapse proposals fix it universally at a mass scale.

IOF places the operational cut where the observer-apparatus's ''useful'' basis-tracking rate runs out relative to the task-relevant source dynamics — at ''h''&lt;sub&gt;θ&lt;/sub&gt; = ''C''&lt;sub&gt;eff&lt;/sub&gt; ln 2. This production rate is source-side; it is not the entropy of the observer. In the BLQC one-effective-mode source, ''h''&lt;sub&gt;θ&lt;/sub&gt; = ''h''&lt;sub&gt;KS&lt;/sub&gt;, so the laboratory quantity is how that source production appears in the designated tracking task. The resulting κ&lt;sub&gt;θ&lt;/sub&gt; quantifies the operational basis-tracking component of self-ignorance, not the root non-dual limitation itself. This is not an objective collapse boundary; it is a design-dependent threshold the experimenter can move.

That the cut ''moves'' is what the benchmark measures — improving the controller raises ''C''&lt;sub&gt;eff&lt;/sub&gt; and shifts the cut toward more chaotic basis-producing dynamics. This motion is expected control physics, not a departure from quantum mechanics: it is the operational signature of finite self-tracking, calibrated, and it is what the κ-benchmark reads off. The measurement problem took its sharpest form because the cut was treated as floating; the framework's narrower, testable claim is that for a given finite apparatus the cut is not floating but located, by the basis-tracking budget that apparatus devotes to its reference.

== Philosophical interpretation ==

''This section describes interpretive extensions beyond the empirical core. Nothing in it is load-bearing for the operational benchmark or the Penrose test. Everett is the preferred no-collapse host developed in the corpus, while pilot-wave and single-history hosts remain scoped alternatives. The operational machinery and its exposure to experiment do not depend on making Everett exclusive.''

The cleanest entry point to the interpretive position is ''[https://ignorantobserver.xyz/documents/Where_Did_the_Measurement_Basis_Come_From.pdf Where Did the Measurement Basis Come From?]'' (Dekker, 2026). It states the central move — the measurement basis as a physical variable with causal ancestry inside the same history as the system — addresses the standard objections, and names the position ''epistemically bounded ancestral correlation''.

A second interpretive piece, ''[https://ignorantobserver.xyz/documents/Response_to_Rovelli_on_the_Hard_Problem.pdf The Hard Problem Dissolved — But Into What?]'' (Dekker, 2026), engages Carlo Rovelli's Noema essay, marks the ground it shares with the framework, and identifies where the framework presses beyond Rovelli's deflationary physicalism toward a non-dual reading.

The interpretive layer is developed in dialogue with Rovelli's relational quantum mechanics and the Advaita Vedānta tradition (Śaṅkara, Ramaṇa Maharṣi). The production rate in κ is the source-side rate relevant to the designated tracking task; it is not the entropy of the observer. The corresponding operational deficit quantifies one basis-tracking component of self-ignorance. The non-dual claim is deeper and is not numerically identified with κ: from the inside, a finite observer's own limitation makes a world of apparently distinct observers and records appear. The framework presents this as structural interpretation, not as evidence for Advaita or as a claim an interferometry experiment could confirm.

A separate IOF-internal derivation, ''[https://ignorantobserver.xyz/documents/The_Born_Rule_from_Finite_Observation.pdf The Born Rule from Finite Observation]'', obtains ''p''(θ) = cos²(θ/2) from finite-record geometry, with its scope fixed by the no-go companion ''[https://ignorantobserver.xyz/documents/Why_Fisher_Geometry_Gives_Binary_Born_but_Not_Quantum_Phase.pdf Why Fisher Geometry Gives Binary Born but Not Quantum Phase]''. Its metaphysical companion, ''[https://ignorantobserver.xyz/documents/Structural_Resonance.pdf Structural Resonance]'', documents how a structural reading of the ''Kaṭha Upaniṣad'' served as a disciplined search heuristic for the derivation, without claiming that Vedānta proves the Born rule.

A further speculative extension, ''The Creation of Duality'', asks whether space, time, objecthood, and gravity-like structure can themselves be read as features of a consistent finite-observer world-model. The document is under revision and its PDF is temporarily withdrawn.

Readers who prefer to ignore the interpretive readings can evaluate the framework's empirical content from the [[#Technical proposal|Technical proposal]] and [[#The operational benchmark and the Penrose test|operational]] sections alone.

== What a clean result would, and would not, establish ==

* '''A clean benchmark''' (κ-scaling, agreement with the trajectory-conditioned phasor null, and recoverable loss with ''R''&lt;sub&gt;rec&lt;/sub&gt; → 1) validates the calibrated reference-channel model in the tested regime. It does '''not''' establish IOF over quantum mechanics, because the benchmark lies within quantum mechanics.
* '''The Penrose discrimination''' settles a question about gravity, not about IOF. An unrecoverable mass-geometry floor would vindicate Penrose and show quantum mechanics incomplete; its absence would constrain objective reduction at the tested scales. IOF supplies the calibrated subtrahend that makes either verdict trustworthy.
* '''The interpretation''' gains nothing a discriminating experiment could give it, and loses nothing a null could take away. It competes — by coherence and economy — with the other no-collapse readings; a Penrose null leaves it standing among them, neither crowned nor refuted.
* '''The avidyā mapping''' gains a concrete physical anchor for σ&lt;sub&gt;θ&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;(''t'') as a limit on self-observation, but the framework's claim there is structural, not metaphysical, and no interferometry result adjudicates the philosophical positions the mapping connects.

== Open review targets ==

These are the points on which the proposal should be attacked. The list is split into ''core'' targets, load-bearing for the operational claim, and ''further technical caveats''.

=== Core review targets ===

# '''Operationalising the recoverability classifier'''. Recoverability is the framework's ''position'', not an objection to it: the expected case is that the engineered loss is reference physics and returns under conditioning on a passive shadow log. The load-bearing question is whether ''R''&lt;sub&gt;rec&lt;/sub&gt; can be made a clean classifier in practice — whether the logging-fidelity budget can be quantified and frozen, and the recovered-versus-residual contrast separated, well enough to certify any surviving floor as not-the-observer's. If it cannot, the Penrose discrimination loses its subtrahend.
# '''Decoherence confound'''. Distinguishing ''V''&lt;sub&gt;IOF&lt;/sub&gt; from ''V''&lt;sub&gt;std&lt;/sub&gt; in practice is the central experimental challenge of the benchmark. A sufficiently flexible Lindblad / phase-noise model may absorb the predicted curve under suitable parameters; the benchmark gains independent force only when κ predicts visibility timing after thermal, readout, latency, pulse, actuator, and offline-recovery controls have been given every chance to win.
# '''Useful-capacity calibration'''. The framework relies on independent calibration of ''C''&lt;sub&gt;eff&lt;/sub&gt; as ''useful'' tracking capacity, not raw input power or the Landauer ceiling. Establishing that calibration empirically — via the Fisher-homogeneity module or an equivalent operational mapping — is the load-bearing engineering claim.
# '''Instability measure'''. The benchmark must independently certify the task-relevant rate ''h''&lt;sub&gt;θ&lt;/sub&gt;. Identifying it with ''h''&lt;sub&gt;KS&lt;/sub&gt; is licensed only in the one-effective-mode source or by an explicit projection result or coordinate-level calibration. The expanding-dynamics gate must also distinguish deterministic expansion from stochastic diffusion before the exponential tracking submodel is read.
# '''Residual distribution and channel dependence'''. Variance does not determine visibility for an arbitrary phase-error distribution; the exact logged-reference factor is the complex circular phasor. The double-exponential form is registered only when the centered Gaussian or wrapped-Gaussian gate passes and only over the pre-wrapping range. If reference error and baseline coherence are correlated, the joint per-shot model replaces a product of averaged visibility factors.

=== Further technical caveats ===

# '''Nonlinear control bridge'''. Applying the one-mode multiplicative data-rate law to a nonlinear reference coordinate remains an empirical bridge whose finite-range scaling and delivery-schedule dependence must be calibrated directly.
# '''Prior-art and reparameterisation risk'''. The framework must show its predicted curve is not ordinary reference noise, phase jitter, or decoherence in new notation — the purpose of the adversarial-mimic analysis.
# '''Bell / locality consistency'''. The framework implies a non-conspiratorial violation of statistical measurement-independence (following Palmer 2024). A full consistency proof, including a no-signalling lemma for the hosted no-collapse embedding, has not been published.
# '''Scope of the Born-rule derivation'''. The companion note conditionally obtains the binary weight ''p''(θ) = cos²(θ/2) under two named premises and extends the weights through hierarchical binary discrimination to one calibrated finite-outcome context. Complex Hilbert space, tensor-product composition, unitary dynamics, quantum phase, and cross-context consistency are ''not'' derived; they remain host-side, and their unique gluing to the record weights remains open.
# '''Peer-review status and replication'''. The framework has not undergone peer review and the experiments have not been performed. Its case must be evaluated on the documents and on the conduct of the prospective experiment, not on any external imprimatur.

== Invitation for review ==

This page is offered as a venue for substantive critique. The author is particularly interested in:

* '''From physicists in quantum control or precision interferometry''': can the recoverability classifier be implemented cleanly enough on real hardware to certify a residual floor as not-the-observer's, and what existing apparatus is best positioned to host the calibrated benchmark and the mass-geometry sweep?
* '''From decoherence theorists''': under what conditions does the double-exponential law overlap with compound-channel decoherence models in ways that would make a recoverable κ-channel and an unrecoverable one hard to separate in practice?
* '''From researchers in quantum foundations''': how should a non-conspiratorial, epistemically bounded violation of measurement-independence be evaluated against the superdeterminism / retrocausality / many-worlds landscape, and what would a satisfactory no-signalling consistency proof require?
* '''From researchers in information geometry''': is the Fisher capacity bridge the right identification of useful tracking capacity, is scalar-threshold homogeneity the natural reading of the BLQC threshold in a calibrated basis, and is Cencov-based selection the correct uniqueness route? Critique of the no-go boundary — what genuinely cannot be reached from finite-record geometry — is equally welcome.
* '''From philosophers of mind''': the Advaita / RQM interpretive layer is offered conditionally on the empirical core and as an interpretation among peers. Is the conditional structure presented clearly enough, or does it still amount to overreach?

Comments, references to prior or parallel work, and pointers to confounds or alternative explanations are all welcome. Substantive critique on the [[Talk:The Ignorant Observer Framework|talk page]] will be acknowledged in subsequent revisions.

== Documents ==

The framework's documents are published at [https://ignorantobserver.xyz ignorantobserver.xyz], grouped by role.

'''Foundational and bridges'''

* '''[https://ignorantobserver.xyz/documents/The_Ignorant_Observer.pdf The Ignorant Observer]''' — the foundational paper. The philosophical motivation (avidyā as a physical limit) and the technical groundwork from which the project grew.
* '''[https://ignorantobserver.xyz/documents/Where_Did_the_Measurement_Basis_Come_From.pdf Where Did the Measurement Basis Come From?]''' — the conceptual bridge for physicists. States the claim the framework makes about the measurement basis, addresses the standard objections, and names the position ''epistemically bounded ancestral correlation''.
* '''[https://ignorantobserver.xyz/documents/Bandwidth-Limited_Quantum_Control.pdf Bandwidth-Limited Quantum Control]''' — the operational layer: a finite-rate phase-reference control law and its operational benchmark (calibration arm, capacity and instability sweeps, shadow-log recoverability classifier, registered chaotic-corner module).
* '''[https://ignorantobserver.xyz/documents/A_Capacity-Calibrated_Protocol_for_Testing_Penrose_Objective_Reduction.pdf A Capacity-Calibrated Protocol for Testing Penrose Objective Reduction]''' — the prospective experiment: a mass-geometry sweep for an unrecoverable collapse floor, with the BLQC benchmark as its calibration prerequisite. Tests Penrose, not IOF.

'''Foundational extensions'''

* '''[https://ignorantobserver.xyz/documents/The_Born_Rule_from_Finite_Observation.pdf The Born Rule from Finite Observation]''' — derives the binary Born form ''p''(θ) = cos²(θ/2) from finite-record geometry, conditional on two named, empirically exposed assumptions, and extends the weights to one calibrated finite-outcome context. Does not derive complex Hilbert space, tensor products, unitary dynamics, phase, or cross-context composition.
* '''[https://ignorantobserver.xyz/documents/Why_Fisher_Geometry_Gives_Binary_Born_but_Not_Quantum_Phase.pdf Why Fisher Geometry Gives Binary Born but Not Quantum Phase]''' — the no-go companion marking exactly where the finite-record route stops, so the boundary is a result rather than a gap.
* '''[https://ignorantobserver.xyz/documents/Structural_Resonance.pdf Structural Resonance]''' — a metaphysical companion explaining how a structural reading of the ''Kaṭha Upaniṣad'' served as a search heuristic for the derivation. Does not claim Vedānta proves the Born rule.

'''Supplements'''

* '''Forensic Signatures''' — under reconstruction; the PDF and archival deposit are temporarily withdrawn because the null calibration did not reproduce the complete selection-and-fitting pipeline. Earlier numerical findings are not treated as evidence for BLQC or IOF.
* '''The Creation of Duality''' — speculative extension on appearance, gravity, and information from self-ignorance; under revision, with its PDF temporarily withdrawn.
* '''The Capacity–Backaction Frontier''' — application to cryogenic quantum error correction; under revision, with its PDF temporarily withdrawn.
* '''[https://ignorantobserver.xyz/documents/Biological_Observers.pdf Biological Observers]''' — exploratory supplement on biological timescales.

The foundational paper is archived on the Open Science Framework at [https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/FCDSN doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/FCDSN]; the website lists the separate DOI-linked deposits for the companion papers.

Videolink: https://tib.cloud/s/LDtkN6QsdFkGGR6 (10 Minuten Zeit)

Codespace is an online Virtual Machine which can be launched from GitHub.

The repository includes a Dev Container configuration so you can work entirely in the browser without installing anything locally.

# On the repository page on GitHub, click Code → Codespaces → Create codespace on main.
# Wait for the container to build — Python packages from &lt;code&gt;requirements.txt&lt;/code&gt; are installed automatically - about 5 minu3. Adding Data Model mapping to standards to forked repositorytes.
# Once everything is installed the Codespace can be used anytime. It automatically shutsdown when left alone and can be restarted any time.
# Work done in Codespace must be pushed back to the repository.
# If Codespace is not used for 28 days the Codespace is deleted.

== 3. Adding Data Model mapping to standards to forked repository ==


Four data models have been made for the project. The data models have been mapped to sector data schemas: Wikidata; CIDOC CRM; and Wikibase4Research. See: https://nfdi4culture.github.io/linked-open-exhibition/

Choose data models that relate to your Wikidata entry.

Data models are:

* Artist Data Model
* Exhibition Data Model
* DNB Catalogue Data Model
* Item in Exhibition Data Model

Copy the .qmd files used over to your repository and insert them in your Quarto YAML file _quarto.yml like so:

website:

  &lt;code&gt;title: &quot;BIM Prototype 02&quot;&lt;/code&gt;

&lt;code&gt;  navbar:&lt;/code&gt;

&lt;code&gt;    left:&lt;/code&gt;

&lt;code&gt;          - href: artist-datamodel.qmd&lt;/code&gt;

&lt;code&gt;            text: Artist Data Model&lt;/code&gt;

&lt;code&gt;          - href: exhibition-datamodel.qmd&lt;/code&gt;

&lt;code&gt;            text: Exhibition Data Model&lt;/code&gt;

&lt;code&gt;          - href: dnb-catalogue-datamodel.qmd&lt;/code&gt;

&lt;code&gt;            text: DNB Catalogue Data Model&lt;/code&gt;

&lt;code&gt;          - href: item-in-exhibition-datamodel.qmd&lt;/code&gt;

&lt;code&gt;            text: Item in Exhibition Data Model&lt;/code&gt;

[[File:Network 2026 06 02.jpg|alt=Graph|left|frame|Graph: https://w.wiki/J8aS]]This exercise covers:

* How to record minimal information for an exhibition in Wikidata as Linked Open Data. Title, museum, date, etc.

For example: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138547468 See Table 1 for minimal data entries for an exhibition.

* View the results collected for the exhibition record:
** In the Query Service results link that shows all of your entries.  
* View the results of the exhibition record in the Wikidat Query Service results link, which shows all of your entries. 
* As a timeline: https://w.wiki/J8NJ, and 
* As a graph: https://w.wiki/J8aS.
* Review exhibition entries. Cover topics raised by creating an LOD entry: -  Wikidata basics: 

# Wikidata good practice
# Consulting schemas
# Importance of review
# Using GitHub Issues
# Comparing available data – before and after

Step-by-step guide:

==== A. Creating the exhibition entry in Wikidata. ====
# Login to Wikidata: https://www.wikidata.org/
# Have the source information for an exhibition at hand to make a data entry, here you can find a list of exhibitions. Students we assigned exibitions and you can find your allocation [https://tib.cloud/s/fncf8W6pXs8qgiq here] (password needed - if you need an allocation or have a question contact: Simon Worthington simon.worthington@tib.eu), e.g.,
#* '''NOTE:''' Sprengel Museum website is offline - if you need more info about your exhibition use the DNB site to search your exhibition name, use keywords like Sprengel Museum Ausellung 
#** https://portal.dnb.de/opac/showFullRecord?currentResultId=sprengel+and+museum+and+ausstellung%26any&amp;currentPosition=1
#** https://www.sprengel-museum.de/ausstellungen/archiv
#** https://www.sprengel-museum.de/besuch?view=article&amp;id=65:publikationen&amp;catid=2:uncategorised
# Check there is no existing entry for the exhibition is on Wikidata. Use the search function. 
# Create an item or edit an existing item.
#* Note: Check which language you are using. We will be adding Deutsch and English entries (starting with Deutsch).
# Create the following data entries in Wikidata, see below: Table 1: ''Minimal data entries for an exhibition.''
# Review exhibition Wikidata entries. Review is carried out by using three questions. Add comments if needed, corrections can be made. Results and notes can be added to the Discussion Page of the entry, e.g., 
#* All entries present [   ]
#* All entries correct [   ]
#* Entries are in Deutsch and English – within reason [   ]
# References can be added: Source URLs, date accessed

== 2. Completion of the GitHub task of forking repository and publishing Wikidata entry ==
[[File:Wikidata 2026 06 02.jpg|left|thumb]]
Completion of the GitHub task of forking repository and publishing Wikidata entry https://github.com/mrchristian/prototype or https://github.com/NFDI4Culture/prototype-linkedOE

Tools: Quarto, GitHub, VS Code, Jupyter Notebooks, Codespace if needed, copilot: Agentic Coding)

'''Requirements'''

# A laptop or computer where you can install VScode
# You will need 2FA on your mobile (optional)
# Create a GitHub account
# Install VScode
# Connect Github account to VScode
# Create GitHub reposoitory

'''Fork the following repository:''' https://github.com/mrchristian/prototype

Create a page for the quarto project that retrieves the data used for thie Wikidata item and renders it as  professional webpage ''&lt;Insert your exhibition here – or use this one&gt;''  https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138547468 The approach should create a SPARQL query for the data and then render this as HTML using a Jupyter Notebook.

All entries: https://tib.cloud/s/fncf8W6pXs8qgiq (needs password)

===== Tasks =====

* Change exhibition - manual
* Run Jupyter Notebook 
* Run and preview Quarto 
* Publish to your GitHub Pages 

===== Step-by-step =====

====== Part one: Working environment ======
'''''NOTE: If you are having problems running locally then use the Codespace online option.'''''

# Create GitHub account - https://github.com/
# Have 2FA available - usually on mobile (Google authenticator) (optional)
# Install VSCode - https://code.visualstudio.com/download
# Install GitHub Desktop - https://desktop.github.com/download/
# Add Github account when prompted, use 2FA

====== Step two: The prototype ======
# Fork the repository:  https://github.com/mrchristian/prototype
# If working locally continue - if using Codespace - launch Codespace (see below and then continue)
# Test Quarto in the Terminal: 
## &lt;code&gt;quarto check&lt;/code&gt; 
## &lt;code&gt;quarto render&lt;/code&gt;
## &lt;code&gt;quarto preview&lt;/code&gt; (control C - to stop)
# If not working run Quarto from Agent
# Change Wikidata exhibition in Notebook
# Run notebook
# Run &lt;code&gt;quarto render&lt;/code&gt; &lt;code&gt;quarto preview&lt;/code&gt;
# Save all (or use auto save)
# Git: Message, Commit and Push
# On GitHub.com your repository
## Turn on Pages: GitHub Actions
## Code: About cog - Click use my GitHub Pages
## Actions tab: Publish Quarto Project
# ENDE - Rinse repeat  :-)

===== Codespace option: =====
Videolink: https://tib.cloud/s/LDtkN6QsdFkGGR6 (10 Minuten Zeit)

Codespace is an online Virtual Machine which can be launched from GitHub.

The repository includes a Dev Container configuration so you can work entirely in the browser without installing anything locally.

# On the repository page on GitHub, click Code → Codespaces → Create codespace on main.
# Wait for the container to build — Python packages from &lt;code&gt;requirements.txt&lt;/code&gt; are installed automatically - about 5 minu3. Adding Data Model mapping to standards to forked repositorytes.
# Once everything is installed the Codespace can be used anytime. It automatically shutsdown when left alone and can be restarted any time.
# Work done in Codespace must be pushed back to the repository.
# If Codespace is not used for 28 days the Codespace is deleted.

---

== 3. Adding Data Model mapping to standards to forked repository ==


Four data models have been made for the project. The data models have been mapped to sector data schemas: Wikidata; CIDOC CRM; and Wikibase4Research. See: https://nfdi4culture.github.io/linked-open-exhibition/

Choose data models that relate to your Wikidata entry.

Data models are:

* Artist Data Model
* Exhibition Data Model
* DNB Catalogue Data Model
* Item in Exhibition Data Model

Copy the .qmd files used over to your repository and insert them in your Quarto YAML file _quarto.yml like so:

website:

  &lt;code&gt;title: &quot;BIM Prototype 02&quot;&lt;/code&gt;

&lt;code&gt;  navbar:&lt;/code&gt;

&lt;code&gt;    left:&lt;/code&gt;

&lt;code&gt;          - href: artist-datamodel.qmd&lt;/code&gt;

&lt;code&gt;            text: Artist Data Model&lt;/code&gt;

&lt;code&gt;          - href: exhibition-datamodel.qmd&lt;/code&gt;

&lt;code&gt;            text: Exhibition Data Model&lt;/code&gt;

&lt;code&gt;          - href: dnb-catalogue-datamodel.qmd&lt;/code&gt;

&lt;code&gt;            text: DNB Catalogue Data Model&lt;/code&gt;

&lt;code&gt;          - href: item-in-exhibition-datamodel.qmd&lt;/code&gt;

&lt;code&gt;            text: Item in Exhibition Data Model&lt;/code&gt;

== 4. Adding SPARQL Query network diagram to forked repository ==
'''Visualizing the Wikidata Item as a Graph'''

https://github.com/mrchristian/prototype

The following cell renders a graph visualization of the relationships for the selected Wikidata item. This helps to see how the item is connected to other entities via its properties.

In your Quarto project the Jupyter Lab Notebook will render the graph automatically&lt;blockquote&gt;wikidata-item.ipynb&lt;/blockquote&gt;

# In cell 2 input your Wikidata QID, e.g., item_id = &quot;Q138572982&quot;
# Click Run All at the top of the Jupyter Lab Notebook. The graph will then render.
# Once rendered you can preview your Quarto publication. Then render Quarto and push to GitHub.

It developed through contact between English speaking traders, colonial administrators, missionaries, and the many indigenous language communities across the country.

Over several centuries, Nigerian Pidgin evolved from a trade language into a fully functional language used for everyday communication by millions of Nigerians.

Today, many people speak Nigerian Pidgin as:

* a second language,
* a common language between ethnic groups,
* and, for some communities, even a first language acquired from birth.

== Historical Development ==
The history of Nigerian Pidgin dates back to the fifteenth century when European traders, especially the Portuguese, first arrived along the West African coast.

Later, British merchants expanded trade throughout present day Nigeria. Since neither side shared a common language, a contact language gradually emerged.

As trade increased, this language spread through:

* coastal trading centres,
* ports,
* military barracks,
* plantations,
* urban settlements,
* schools,
* and later through radio, television, music, and social media.</text>
