Semiregular polytope
(Redirected from Semiregular)
A semiregular polytope is a isogonal polytope that only contains regular facets. The semiregular polytopes are a subset of the uniform polytopes, and the convex semiregular polytopes are a subset of the Blind polytopes.
The concept was created as a generalization of uniformity in 3D to higher dimensions, but a broader definition of uniforms for 4D and above gained more traction in the enthusiast community.
The convex semiregular polytopes were fully enumerated in all dimensions by the Blinds, but already in 4D the full set of nonconvex semiregular polytopes is not known.
