Talk:7-simplex

Exa

I don't think the article gets across the point well enough, see my comments at Talk:Heptapeton. 4 T C 03:21, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Construction

The 7-simplex is by definition a seven-dimensional object, so the phrase "can be positioned in 8-space" needs some explanation, or a pointer. I believe that after constructing all the permutations, one discards one coordinate. To center the result on the origin, one could then subtract the mean from all points.

Sure, its a hyperplane on the subspace x1+x2+...+x7=1, or normal vector (1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1).

Here's the 3D version with a triangle (2-simplex). Tom Ruen (talk) 18:17, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
