Perpendicular sections of the 600-Cell.




Mathematical description
The 600-Cell is the fourth dimensional polytope bounded by 600 dodecahedra. To obtain the sections, the polytope is intersected with three dimensional spaces. When the spaces are perpendicular to the line OC where C denotes the center of any of its cells, then the sections are called perpendicular.

Title model
