Source-derived summary

In five-dimensional geometry, a runcinated 5-orthoplex is a convex uniform 5-polytope with 3rd order truncation (runcination) of the regular 5-orthoplex.

There are 8 runcinations of the 5-orthoplex with permutations of truncations, and cantellations. Four are more simply constructed relative to the 5-cube.

Snub 5-demicube

The snub 5-demicube defined as an alternation of the omnitruncated 5-demicube is not uniform, but it can be given Coxeter diagram or and symmetry [32,1,1]+ or [4,(3,3,3)+], and constructed from 10 snub 24-cells, 32 snub 5-cells, 40 snub tetrahedral antiprisms, 80 2-3 duoantiprisms, and 960 irregular 5-cells filling the gaps at the deleted vertices.

Related polytopes

These polytopes are from a set of 31 uniform 5-polytopes generated from the regular 5-cube or 5-orthoplex.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Runcinated 5-orthoplexes” as open-knowledge reference entry. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Runcinated, 5-orthoplexes and Open-knowledge.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1973, 1995, 1940, 1985—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Runcinated, 5-orthoplexes and Open-knowledge providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Runcinated 5-orthoplexes”, the useful work is to connect “open-knowledge reference entry” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 17, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7379703. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1973, 1995, 1940 and 1985.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
