Geometry arose as the field of knowledge dealing with spatial relationships. Geometry was one of the two fields of pre-modern mathematics, the other being the study of numbers ....

, a cantellated 6-cube is a convex uniform 6-polytope, being a cantellation of the regular 6-cube.

There are 8 cantellations for the 6-cube, including truncations. Half of them are more easily constructed from the dual 5-orthoplex

Coxeter group
In mathematics, a Coxeter group, named after H.S.M. Coxeter, is an abstract group that admits a formal description in terms of mirror symmetries. Indeed, the finite Coxeter groups are precisely the finite Euclidean reflection groups; the symmetry groups of regular polyhedra are an example...
