Standard Space
The n-orthant is a standard space in two ways: every polytope with n faces maps into the n-orthant via slack variables, and conversely every polygonal cone on n vertices is the image of (maps from) the n-orthant. Compare the n-simplex, which maps to every polytope with n-vertices.

Famous quotes containing the words standard and/or space:
“Neither I nor anyone else knows what a standard is. We all recognize a dishonorable act, but have no idea what honor is.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“To play is nothing but the imitative substitution of a pleasurable, superfluous and voluntary action for a serious, necessary, imperative and difficult one. At the cradle of play as well as of artistic activity there stood leisure, tedium entailed by increased spiritual mobility, a horror vacui, the need of letting forms no longer imprisoned move freely, of filling empty time with sequences of notes, empty space with sequences of form.”
—Max J. Friedländer (1867–1958)
