Regular solids and DISCRETA:
The cube, the octahedron and their derivatives


Cube
<=>
dual

Octahedron



truncated cube

midpoints of edges of cube
(also those of octahedron!)

truncated octahedron

doubly truncated cube


dual of truncated cube


edge midpoints of truncated cube


truncated of edge midpoints of cube


dual of edge midpoints of cube


twice edge midpoints of cube


doubly truncated octahedron


dual of truncated octahedron


edge midpoints of truncated octahedron


We also have a sensitive map of these relations.
