Geometry
Geometry arose as the field of knowledge dealing with spatial relationships. Geometry was one of the two fields of pre-modern mathematics, the other being the study of numbers ....
, a cantellated 6-simplex is a convex uniform 6-polytope, being a cantellation of the regular 6-simplex.
There are unique 4 degrees of cantellation for the 6-simplex, including truncations.

Orthographic projection
Orthographic projection is a means of representing a three-dimensional object in two dimensions. It is a form of parallel projection, where all the projection lines are orthogonal to the projection plane, resulting in every plane of the scene appearing in affine transformation on the viewing surface...
