Hexagonal tiling honeycomb tetrahedron vertex figure. The runcinated hexagonal tiling honeycomb, t{6,3,3}, has tetrahedron, rhombitrihexagonal tiling hexagonal prism, triangular prism cells, with a octahedron vertex figure. The runcitruncated hexagonal tiling honeycomb, t{6,3,3}, has cuboctahedron, Triangular prism, Dodecagonal prism, and truncated hexagonal tiling cells, with a quad-pyramid vertex figure. The runcicantellated hexagonal tiling honeycomb or runcitruncated order-6 tetrahedral honeycomb, t{6,3,3}, has truncated tetrahedron, hexagonal prism, hexagonal prism, and rhombitrihexagonal tiling cells, with a quad-pyramid vertex figure. The omnitruncated hexagonal tiling honeycomb or omnitruncated order-6 tetrahedral honeycomb, t{6,3,3}, has truncated octahedron, hexagonal prism, dodecagonal prism, and truncated trihexagonal tiling cells, with a quad-pyramid vertex figure.
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
