In eight-dimensional geometry, a cantic 8-cube or truncated 8-demicube is a uniform 8-polytope, being a truncation of the 8-demicube.

Alternate names[]

• Truncated demiocteract
• Truncated hemiocteract (Jonathan Bowers)

Cartesian coordinates[]

The Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of a truncated 8-demicube centered at the origin and edge length 6√2 are coordinate permutations:

(±1,±1,±3,±3,±3,±3,±3,±3)

with an odd number of plus signs.
