The dyad,[1] ditelon, dion[2] or simply line segment, is the only possible polytelon. Its facets are two points. It appears as the edges of all higher polytopes.

It is the one-dimensional simplex, the one-dimensional hypercube, and the one-dimensional orthoplex. It is also the one-dimensional omnitruncated simplex, along with the 1D version of just about any series of general polytopes.

Identical dyads can tile 1d space in the regular apeirogon.

## Vertex coordinates

Coordinates for the vertices of a line segment of length 1 are simply the points:

• (±1/2).

## Representations

The dyad has two distinct representations:

• x (full symmetry, vertices are the same)
• oo&#x (vertices considered of different types)
