This is all still Euclidean though, which Eldritch horror is clearly described as not being.

to explain 5/2: 1. imagine you have five dots in a circle 2. connect those dots via lines to make a shape 3. make note of how many dots you move around the perimeter each time you connect a dot (Make sure these are equal) 4a. if you move 1 dot per line, you end up making a pentagon, therefore it would be 5/1, but you dont have to write the 1, as it is understood by default. 4b. if you move 2 dots per line, you end up making a pentagram (5 pointed star), therefore it would be 5/2 4c. if you move 3 dots per ling, you still end up making the same pentagram, just the other way around, so it would still be 5/2 another more complicated example: There are multiple ways to make an 8 pointed star, and the schlaffle symbol allows us to distinguish between them. 1.have 8 dots in a circle 2.connect those dots in the same manner as the 5 dots 3. notice that now you have more choices on how many spaces you can go and make different polygrams (stars) 4a. 1 dot gives you an octogon, 8 4b. 2 dots give you a square octogram (an 8 pointed star made by stacking squares), 8/2 4c. 3 dots give you a different octogram (this one can be drawn withut lifting your pen), 8/3 4d. 4 dots give you an 8 pointed asterisk (the * symbol but with 8 points instead of 5), 8/4 4e. 5 dots makes 8/3 in the other direction. now hopefully, you understand a little more about schlaffle symbols.

[@fatih3806]

Thank you very much about this comment. I believe there was a vihart video I watched that made it easier to understand this comment. She didn’t use any notation but she was creating every type of stars including 5/1 (that is a pentagon I don’t remember whether she called it a star in the video or not), 7/2 or 6/3 or 6/2

[@rhishikeshjadhav1772]

Thank you very much. Really appreciate your explanation 😊

So 8/2 results in pairs of edges that completely overlap. Jan Misali was explicitly not allowing overlapping edges or faces or vertices, but if you did allow them, it would surely give infinite regular polyhedra.

[@EDoyl]

One of the restrictions you chose to include was that two points connected by line segments doesn't count as a polygon. That's a sensible exclusion, but that is actually my favorite shape, the digon. It's not very interesting in a plane by itself so explicitly excluding it for this video is a good idea, but on a sphere it's a really important shape called a lune, think of it as the boundary on a sphere of an orange wedge. But way more importantly, a digonal antiprism is a tetrahedron! it's so cool! a totally different way of constructing a tetrahedron. A tetrahedron is two line segments, degenerate digons, rotated 90° and connected vertex to vertex. If you allow the digon there's also at least 1 new regular polyhedron, The Apeirogonal Hosohedron, basically a tiling of the plane by infinitely long rectangles, or stripes. This is my favorite video of your channel and it singlehandedly reignited my interest in geometry and topology.

I love weird geometry stuff like this, but at the same time it's kind of scary. It's always kind of scary to learn something that contradicts what you always thought you knew. It's like learning that Uranus and Neptune are actually ice giants. I always thought they were made of gases and some liquids, with the only solid part of them being the relatively small rocky and metallic core. That's still true, but the "ice" in "ice giant" actually refers to substances heavier than hydrogen and helium such as water, methane, ammonia, elemental carbon (in the form of planet-wide liquid diamond oceans, to boot), neon, and carbon dioxide, among others, regardless of what state of matter they're in, and that they're called "ices" because they were probably solid when the planets first formed even though they aren't now. The truth can be confusing and you can end up feeling like everything you know is a lie even though you just had the confusing parts explained to you.

Yeah but it would be reasonable to limit it to finite ones, constructed with flat polygons. This would include the star polyhedra, but exclude: the petrials (cause those ain't flat polygon faces) the tilings (they're infinite) and the petrie coxeter polyhedra (which are both infinite and don't have flat polygonal faces) The restriction removed from the platonic solids is just that edges are now allowed to intersect.

Mitch, I hate to point out an omission in this masterpiece of educational content, but using your definition, there is a fourth regular tiling, which would add at least one, but probably more polyhedra to your list.
