In eight-dimensional geometry, a runcinated 8-simplex is a convex uniform 8-polytope with 3rd order truncations (runcination) of the regular 8-simplex.

There are eleven unique runcinations of the 8-simplex, including permutations of truncation and cantellation. The triruncinated 8-simplex and triruncicantitruncated 8-simplex have a doubled symmetry, showing [18] order reflectional symmetry in the A8 Coxeter plane.

Coordinates

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