Dodecahedral-icosahedral honeycomb square antiprism vertex figure. It has a Coxeter diagram . The cyclotruncated icosahedral-dodecahedral honeycomb is a compact uniform honeycomb, constructed from dodecahedron, truncated icosahedron cells, in a triangular antiprism vertex figure. It has a Coxeter diagram . It can be see as somewhat analogous to the pentahexagonal tiling with pentagonal and hexagonal faces: The truncated dodecahedral-icosahedral honeycomb is a compact uniform honeycomb, constructed from truncated icosahedron, truncated dodecahedron, rhombicosidodecahedron, truncated icosidodecahedron cells, in a trapezoidal pyramid vertex figure. It has a Coxeter diagram . The omnitruncated dodecahedral-icosahedral honeycomb is a compact uniform honeycomb, constructed from truncated icosidodecahedron cells, in a
Wax argument Wax argument The wax argument or the ball of wax example is a thought experiment that René Descartes created within his "Meditations on First Philosophy". He devised it to analyze what properties are essential for bodies, show how uncertain our knowledge of the world is compared to our knowledge of our minds, and argue for rationalism. Descartes first considers all the sensible properties of a ball of wax such as its shape, texture, size, color, and smell. He then points out that all these properties change as the wax is moved closer to a fire. The only properties that necessarily
