Vertex Arrangement - Face Arrangement

4-polytopes can also have the same face arrangement which means they have similar vertex, edge, and face arrangements, but may differ in their cells.

For example, of the ten nonconvex regular Schläfli-Hess polychora, there are only 7 unique face arrangements.

For example the grand stellated 120-cell and great stellated 120-cell, both with pentagrammic faces, appear visually indistinguishable without a representation of their cells:

Two (projected) polychora with same face arrangement

Grand stellated 120-cell
(120 small stellated dodecahedra)

Great stellated 120-cell
(120 great stellated dodecahedra)

Famous quotes containing the words face and/or arrangement:

    But what is Hope? Nothing but the paint on the face of Existence; the least touch of truth rubs it off, and then we see what a hollow-cheeked harlot we have got hold of.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    There is no reason why parents who work hard at a job to support a family, who nurture children during the hours at home, and who have searched for and selected the best [daycare] arrangement possible for their children need to feel anxious and guilty. It almost seems as if our culture wants parents to experience these negative feelings.
    Gwen Morgan (20th century)
