Noble Polytopes

Noble polytopes are defined to have both, vertices and facets are all alike each (also known as isogonal and isohedral respectively – although the stem -hedr- here seems to be a missnomer with respect to higher dimensions, thence nowadays authors rather would like to use isotopal for the latter instead). It is clear therefrom, that the dual of a noble polytope always is a noble polytope as well. In terms of incidence matrices those define to have just a single row within both the top-most and the bottom-most blocks. – Thus especially any regular polytope is a noble polytope as well. But there are others too.

Within the following listing we restrict further to at least scaliform ones in addition. – Ones neither marked regular nor scaliform would be uniform.

As an example for a non-convex noble polyhedron using different edge sizes ditti (a {6,6} modwrap within doe) or a {9,3} modwrap within srid might serve.

As examples for convex noble polychora using different edge sizes there would be some swirlchora like squap-72, trap-96, pap-360, trap-600.
Also some vertex figures of polytera happen to be noble polychora with different edge sizes, for instance the non-convex hit-verf and nat-verf.
