Rectified 122 polypeton

Published 20 September MMXXV

The rectified 122 polypeton, also known by its OBSA ram, or as I like to call it, the 54-72-peton, long Greek penteconta­tetra­hebdomeconta­di­peton, is a uniform polypeton that is the rectification of the 122 polypeton, composed of 54 penteractitriacontaditera and 72 dodecatera. Its vertex figure is a triangular duoprismatic prism. It has a circumradius of √3 ≈ 1.732051.

Structure

Beginning from a penteractitriacontaditeron, its icositetrachoral tera join to 10 other penteractitriacontaditera that touch the aequator, while half of its rectified pentachoral tera join to 16 other penteractitriacontaditera that straddle the aequator and the other half joins to 16 dodecatera. 40 aequatorial dodecatera are then placed in tetrahedral junctions corresponding to the edges of a triacontaditeron in relation to the base. The structure repeats past this point: 16 penteractitriacontaditera are placed after the first set of penteractitriacontaditera, 16 dodecatera are placed after the second set of penteractitriacontaditera and likewise 16 penteractitriacontaditera are placed after the first set of dodecatera. This then only leaves the opposite penteractitriacontaditeron, completing the shape. From this perspective, the shape has a height of √6 ≈ 2.449490.

Beginning from a dodecateron, all its rectified pentachoral tera join to 12 penteractitriacontaditera, leaving gaps at the vertices, filled by 20 other dodecatera, both touching the aequator. This leaves gaps at octahedral junctions corresponding to the edges and cells of a hexateron in relation to the base, filled by 30 aequatorial penteractitriacontaditera. 30 aequatorial dodecatera are then placed in octahedral junctions corresponding to the vertices of a small cellidodecateron. The structure repeats past this point: 12 penteractitriacontaditera are placed after the first set, while 20 dodecatera are placed at vertex junctions after the first set of dodecatera. This then only leaves the opposite dodecateron, completing the shape. From this perspective, the shape has a height of 3.

Due to missing sources, its vertex-first structure is unavailable, although it can be inferred it has a height of 2√3 ≈ 3.464102.

Having the same symmetry as the 122 polypeton and the 221 polypeton, both with E6 symmetry, their components have neat correspondences:
