Here's the 57-cell in vZome with lots of strut crossings:

57-cell in vZome

Is it possible to construct the 57-cell in vZome without any strut crossings? That is, 57 nodes, 171 struts, in the 57-cell / Perkel graph configuration, with no struts going through other struts or clipping nodes?

A Mathematica version is at 57-cell. The vZome version is at 57cell.vZome.

I'll pay $57 for the first solution with no trickery of any kind. All of the strut-types currently defined in vZome are allowable.

    Zome is based on Phi-space, where all coordinates are triples of the form $a + b\phi $. With 57 nodes and the restriction to defined vZome directions, there are only a finite (but huge) number of available lattice points, and randomly moving the nodes won't work.2011-10-02
