Orthogonal projection or Hasse diagram?

The image labelled "orthogonal projection" doesn't seem to be an orthogonal projection of the 10-cube; it looks more like the Hasse diagram of the 10-cube's face lattice. Could somebody verify this?—Tetracube (talk) 00:24, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Both graphics are "skew" orthogonal projections, flatting 10-dimensions down to 2 dimensions (computed as a dot product from an orthonormal basis). The left-to-right column projection actually was my first attempt to generate a symmetric Petrie polygon view, before the correct projections were created. In my attempt, I determined the Petric polygon, and picked a [u,v] basis with u direction determined by a sum of the petrie polygon vertices so it came out as one vertex on the left, opposite vertex right, and progressive vertex-edge-vertex distances came out as vertical columns. So it was accidental, but interesting, so I kept it and another guy converted the projection from PNG to SVG. I actually just worked out how to compute the correct [u,v] orthogonal basis, given N sequential vertices of a 2N Petrie polygon, testing now on hypercube family...

p.s. Interestingly this projection projected a cube without any overlapping vertices, while a Petrie polygon for a cube looks like a hexagon with two central vertices. User:Qef/Orthographic_hypercube_diagrams Tom Ruen (talk) 04:19, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I succeeded for hypercubes! Tom Ruen (talk) 06:32, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Icosaronnon

An unnamed user recently changed the alternate name of the 10-cube from the icosaxennon to the icosaronnon. Similar changes have been made on the 10-simplex and 10-orthoplex pages and have not been since been reversed. I haven’t found anywhere else yet that has these names, but logically they follow from the new SI prefixes introduced in November. I was just wondering if anyone else has any thoughts on this, as it’s not entirely consistent across these couple pages. Muddy0258 (talk) 14:48, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
