Dodecahedron code

Alternative Names: Cosmohedron code.

Description

Spherical \((3,20,2-2\sqrt{5}/3)\) code whose codewords are the vertices of the dodecahedron (alternatively, the centers of the faces of a icosahedron, the dodecahedron’s dual polytope).

Notes

See the corresponding Bendwavy database entry [1].
