This polyhedron is a part of a sequence of rhombic polyhedra and tilings with Coxeter group symmetry. The cube can be seen as a rhombic hexahedron where the rhombi are squares.

Famous quotes containing the word related:
“No being exists or can exist which is not related to space in some way. God is everywhere, created minds are somewhere, and body is in the space that it occupies; and whatever is neither everywhere nor anywhere does not exist. And hence it follows that space is an effect arising from the first existence of being, because when any being is postulated, space is postulated.”
—Isaac Newton (1642–1727)
