Source-derived summary

In six-dimensional geometry, a runcinated 6-orthplex is a convex uniform 6-polytope with 3rd order truncations (runcination) of the regular 6-orthoplex.

There are 12 unique runcinations of the 6-orthoplex with permutations of truncations, and cantellations. 7 are expressed relative to the dual 6-cube.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Runcinated 6-orthoplexes” as open-knowledge reference entry. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

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. The account is most persuasive where Runcinated, 6-orthoplexes and Open-knowledge can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as open-knowledge reference entry. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 18, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7379709. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1973, 1995, 1940 and 1985.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. 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.
