around every vertex. Placing 8 cubic pyramids on the cubic bounding cells of a tesseract is Gosset's construction of the 24-cell. Thus the 24-cell is constructed from exactly 16 cubic pyramids. The 24-cell tessellates 4-dimensional space as the

A cubic pyramid of height zero can be seen as a cube divided into 6 square pyramids along with the center point. These square pyramid-filled cubes can tessellate three-dimensional space as a dual of the

which meet at the apex. Since a cube has a circumradius divided by edge length less than one, the square pyramids can be made with regular faces by computing the appropriate height.

Exactly 8 regular cubic pyramids will fit together around a vertex in four-dimensional space (the apex of each pyramid). This construction yields a
