¶ Fourteen Axes of Truncated Tetrahedron (1)

Index Entry
The prime generation of the seven axes of symmetry derive from the truncation of the tetrahedron:
4 original faces
4 triangular truncated vertexes
6 quadrilateral truncated edges
14 faces of truncated tetrahedron, which produce seven unique pairs of parallel faces whose axes, perpendicular to their respective centers of area, generate the seven axes of all crystallographic symmetry.
The seven unique axes of the three unique sets (4+4+6) producing the 14 planes of the truncated tetrahedron are also identifiable with:
– the 14 planes that bound and enclosingly separate all the biological cells;
