Cube of Space letters with six cardinal directions (up, down, east, west, north, south). The verse in chapter 5 associates 12 hebrew letters with either 12 diagonal directional 'arms' or 12 diagonal boundaries (different translations contradict each other), which some interpret as referring to the 12 edges of an octahedron, though Paul Foster Case interpreted these as the 12 edges of a cube. In the most authoritative English translation of the Sepher Yetzirah, scholar Aryeh Kaplan interprets this verse (Chapter 5, Verse 2) as describing a cube. (Sefer Yetzirah Page 203) While occult author Kevin Townley explains a cosmology with an octahedron within
Truncated cube The truncated triangular trapezohedron is another polyhedron which can be formed from cube edge truncation. The "truncated cube", is second in a sequence of truncated hypercubes: In the mathematical field of graph theory, a truncated cubical graph is the graph of vertices and edges of the "truncated cube", one of the Archimedean solids. It has 24 vertices and 36 edges, and is a cubic Archimedean graph. Truncated cube In geometry, the truncated cube, or truncated hexahedron, is an Archimedean solid. It has 14 regular faces (6 octagonal and 8 triangular), 36 edges, and 24 vertices. If the truncated cube has
