Klein diminishings

Published 7 December MMXXV

These are the 18 non-uniform CRF vertex diminishings of the quartic pentecontahexahedron (klein). There is one such uniform diminishing — the disantitridiminished pentecontahexahedron (datiduk). These, with a few exceptions, were all discovered by me using HyperRogue's experiment with geometry + creative modes by painting the surface of {7,3} on the Klein quartic. If you want to see a draft of this process to organize them, I wrote this text document in late July 2025: quarticdiminishings-2.txt. Due to all being manually discovered, there might very well be missing ones or even duplicates.

Naming

All of the names are composed of some sequence of location prefixes, the Latin numeral prefix of how many diminishings there are (for when there are at least two), the root adjective diminished and the operand, in this case the klein.

The distance prefixes are I. anti-, when the diminished vertex is opposite the root vertex, II. meta-, when the diminished vertex is two vertices away (lower angle) from the root vertex III. para-, when the diminished vertex is two vertices away (higher angle) from the root vertex.

The multiplicative prefixes are the Greek numeral adverbial prefixes, dis- for 2 and tris- for 3. They are used to indicate multiple of one type of locational diminishing.

The primary width prefixes are used to diambiguate arrangements when there are multiple of one type of locational diminishing, being steno- for a "thin" arrangement and plateo- for a "wide" arrangement.

Finally, the secondary width prefixes are used to diambiguate arrangements when there are multiple types of locational diminishings, being bracheo- for a "thin" arrangement and macro- for a "wide" arrangement. Essentially the multiple type equivalent of the primary width prefixes.

List

In the images below, heptagons are represented as groups of colored triangles. The central red heptagon is the "main" diminishing, the greenish heptagons are meta- diminishings, the bluish heptagons are para- diminishings and the yellow heptagon is an anti- diminishing.
