Uniform Polychora Project
The '''Uniform Polychora Project''' in [[geometry]] is a collaborative effort to recognize and standardize terms used to describe objects in [[higher-dimensional space]]s. The project aims: to collect information about [[uniform polychora]] as well as information about [[uniform polytope]]s in dimension &ge; 4.; to enumerate the shapes; and eventually to make a complete list. Standard extensions and generalizations of terms and definitions allow a common vocabulary, and pre(contracted; show full)y of the [[uniform polychora]] were discovered by Bowers, with the '''Uniform Polychora Project''' finding the rest for a total of 8190 uniform polychora outside the infinite families of prismatic polychora. There are only 64 which are [[convex uniform polychora]] with the other 8126 being [[nonconvex uniform polychora]]. As to be expected, less is known about uniform polytopes in the higher spatial dimensions.

Many of the terms for polychora were recently created by the prin
icipal Project researchers.

Terms include:
* [[Glome]]
* [[Hyperball]]
* [[Hypercircle]]
* [[Hypercube]]
* [[Hyperplane]]
* [[Hypersphere]]
* [[Hyperspherical simplex]]  
* [[Icositetrachoron]]
* [[Small ditrigonary icosidodecahedral antiprism]] (Jonathan Bowers’s name is [[sidtidap]])
