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 also rectangles.

Famous quotes containing the word related:
“So universal and widely related is any transcendent moral greatness, and so nearly identical with greatness everywhere and in every age,—as a pyramid contracts the nearer you approach its apex,—that, when I look over my commonplace-book of poetry, I find that the best of it is oftenest applicable, in part or wholly, to the case of Captain Brown.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
