(mathematics) A four-dimensional object analogous to an octahedron, constructed out of sixteen tetrahedra..
In a world with four spatial dimensions, for example, we can construct only six regular solids, viz pentatope, tesseract, hexadecachoron, icositetrachoron, hecatonicosachoron and hexacosichoron.
We have chosen the surfaces of a pentatope (5-cell) as well as a hexadecachoron (16-cell), which are simple standard triangulations of a 3-sphere, shown in figure (7), as our underlying lattices.
In four dimensions, surprisingly, there are three space-filling convex regular polychora: the tesseract (the hypercube in ℝ⁴), the hexadecachoron, and the icositetrachoron.
Use hexadecachoron when its meaning, tone and grammar fit the full sentence. A synonym is not always a direct replacement.
Hexadecachoron means (mathematics) A four-dimensional object analogous to an octahedron, constructed out of sixteen tetrahedra..
Common synonyms include 16-cell.
The opposite depends on the specific sense.
