    Regular polytopes (RPs) are an extension of 2D (two-dimensional) regular polygons and 3D regular polyhedra in n-dimensional (n≥4) space. The high abstraction and perfect symmetry are their most prominent features. The traditional projections only show vertex and edge information. Although such projections can preserve the highest degree of symmetry of the RPs, they can not transmit their metric or topological information. Based on the generalized stereographic projection, this paper establishes visualization methods for 5D RPs, which can preserve symmetries and convey general metric and topological data. It is a general strategy that can be extended to visualize n-dimensional RPs (n>5)

    Chaotic attractors exhibiting quasicrystalline structure

    No full text
    An extension of canonical projection allowing the projection of objects from higher dimensional space onto quasicrystalline structures is developed. In particular, we create symmetric chaotic attractors in 5-dimensionsal space and then project them to the plane such that the resulting image exhibits the structure of a quasicrystalline tiling. These images give a new visual expression of the higher dimensional symmetry of the corresponding attractor
