6-cube regular 6-cube or 6-orthoplex. 6-cube In geometry, a 6-cube is a six-dimensional hypercube with 64 vertices, 192 edges, 240 square faces, 160 cubic cells, 60 tesseract 4-faces, and 12 5-cube 5-faces. It has Schläfli symbol {4,3}, being composed of 3 5-cubes around each 4-face. It can be called a hexeract, a portmanteau of tesseract (the "4-cube") with "hex" for six (dimensions) in Greek. It can also be called a regular dodeca-6-tope or dodecapeton, being a 6-dimensional polytope constructed from 12 regular facets. It is a part of an infinite family of polytopes, called hypercubes. The dual of a 6-cube can
Partial cube "Hamming labeling"; it represents an isometric embedding of the partial cube into a hypercube. was the first to study isometric embeddings of graphs into hypercubes. The graphs that admit such embeddings were characterized by and , and were later named partial cubes. A separate line of research on the same structures, in the terminology of families of sets rather than of hypercube labelings of graphs, was followed by and , among others. Every tree is a partial cube. For, suppose that a tree "T" has "m" edges, and number these edges (arbitrarily) from 0 to "m" − 1. Choose a
