Swirlchoron

A swirlchoron is a polychoron that expresses the Hopf fibration of a given polyhedron. In other words, the vertices or cells of a polychoron map to a ring of swirling great circles within a glome that represents a face of a polytwister, and are therefore their polychoric approximations. For every regular spherical polyhedron (including degenerate dihedra/hosohedra), a swirlchoron can be constructed. Their vertices can be compounded to form new swirlchora, an example being the 1-bitetrahedral swirlprism, being the compound of two hexadecachora in tetrahedral swirlprism symmetry.

There are two types of swirlchora. Swirlprisms are isogonal and can be thought as duals to the swirltegums, which are isochoric. Some swirlchora, such as the bi-icositetradiminished hexacosichoron and its dual, the tri-icositetradiminished hexacosichoron, are both isogonal and isochoric, and are therefore noble.
