The 12-simplex (also called tridecahendon or tridecahendakon) is the simplest possible non-degenerate 12-polytope. The full symmetry version has 13 regular dodecadaka as facets, joining 3 to a ridge and 12 to a vertex, and is one of the 3 convex regular 12-polytopes. It is the 12-dimensional simplex.

Vertex coordinates[edit | edit source]

The vertices of a regular tridecahendon of edge length 1, centered at the origin, are given by:

Much simpler coordinates can be given in 13 dimensions, as all permutations of:
