Rectification (geometry)
In Euclidean geometry, rectification is the process of truncating a polytope by marking the midpoints of all its edges, and cutting off its vertices at those points...

In geometry, a 10-simplex is a self-dual regular 10-polytope. It has 11 vertices, 55 edges, 165 triangle faces, 330 tetrahedral cells, 462 5-cell 4-faces, 462 5-simplex 5-faces, 330 6-simplex 6-faces, 165 7-simplex 7-faces, 55 8-simplex 8-faces, and 11 9-simplex 9-faces...

.

These polytopes are part of a family of 527 uniform 10-polytopes with A10 symmetry.

There are unique 5 degrees of rectifications including the zeroth, the 10-simplex itself. Vertices of the rectified 10-simplex are located at the edge-centers of the 10-simplex. Vertices of the birectified 10-simplex are located in the triangular face centers of the 10-simplex. Vertices of the trirectified 10-simplex are located in the tetrahedral
Tetrahedron
In geometry, a tetrahedron is a polyhedron composed of four triangular faces, three of which meet at each vertex. A regular tetrahedron is one in which the four triangles are regular, or "equilateral", and is one of the Platonic solids...

 cell centers of the 10-simplex. Vertices of the quadrirectified 10-simplex are located in the 5-cell centers of the 10-simplex.

Coordinates

The Cartesian coordinates of the vertices of the rectified 10-simplex can be most simply positioned in 11-space as permutations of (0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1). This construction is based on facets of the rectified 11-orthoplex.
