Uniform compound tilings

Postby polychoronlover » Wed Nov 25, 2020 6:46 am

A few years ago, I found several uniform compounds of Euclidean tilings that were analogous to uniform polyhedra with cubic and dodecahedral symmetry. The faces follow trends: 4/n, 5/n, 6/n and 8/n, 10/n, 12/n. Analogs in hyperbolic space seem likely to exist as well.

Compound of two trihexagonal tilings (3.6.6/2.6):

There are also some where only the "outside" faces follow the trends. In these cases, I have underlined the faces following trends.

Climbing method and elemental naming scheme are good.

The last pic more looks like a (12/3.12/3.∞), whereas it ought be a (4.12/3.∞) instead. That is, not ALL squares should become dodecagonal symmetric compounds.
Ah, probably you simply interchanged the last 2 pics wrt. your descriptions.

Whoops, thanks for spotting that. Fixed now.

There's a further one as well: (P.6.P/3.6)
P=4 : cho
P=5 : ided
P=6 : you might want to draw - but yes, 6/3 is kind of degenerate : resulting in a Grünbaumian multi-cover of hexat
P=7 : the picture being found here: https://discord.com/channels/6772784813 ... 1297025054

This is not a very mathematical example, but such patterns are often laid out on the floor or on the walls and you can look at such patterns endlessly. Most likely, this is done on purpose. We often overlook things that subtly affect our emotional state.
