In eight-dimensional geometry, a rectified 8-simplex is a convex uniform 8-polytope, being a rectification of the regular 8-simplex.

There are unique 3 degrees of rectifications in regular 8-polytopes. Vertices of the rectified 8-simplex are located at the edge-centers of the 8-simplex. Vertices of the birectified 8-simplex are located in the triangular face centers of the 8-simplex. Vertices of the trirectified 8-simplex are located in the tetrahedral cell centers of the 8-simplex.

Coordinates

The Cartesian coordinates of the vertices of the rectified 8-simplex can be most simply positioned in 9-space as permutations of (0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1). This construction is based on facets of the rectified 9-orthoplex.
