Name Waterman polyhedron number 4 wrt. face-centered cubic lattice A3 centered at a shallow hole,
vertex figure of hyperbolic "NMKL tut + 2NL taztrat + 2NK azat" honeycomb
VRML
 
Circumradius sqrt(27/8) = 1.837117
Coordinates
  • (5, 1, 1)/sqrt(8)    all permutations, even changes of sign
  • (3, 3, -3)/sqrt(8)   all permutations, even changes of sign
Face vector 16, 42, 28

The unit here was chosen as the root of A3.

By the very definition of Waterman polyhedra, not necessarily all vertices are on the same sphere. However in here both the 4 vertices of the d-scaled tet layer and the other 12 vertices of the inverted (x,u)-tut layer belong to the same radius.


Incidence matrix according to Dynkin symbol

((ox3ou3do))&#zh   → height = 0, where d = 3 (pseudo)
(tegum sum of d-tet and inverted (x,u)-tut)
