In eight-dimensional geometry, a cantellated 8-simplex is a convex uniform 8-polytope, being a cantellation of the regular 8-simplex.

There are six unique cantellations for the 8-simplex, including permutations of truncation.

Coordinates

The Cartesian coordinates of the vertices of the cantellated 8-simplex can be most simply positioned in 9-space as permutations of (0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,2). This construction is based on facets of the cantellated 9-orthoplex.
