Interdisciplinary matrices
The interactions between disciplines can be geometrically conceptualised as a cross-polytope, viz., each discipline is a node in the polytope.
An n-dimensional cross-polytope (synonymously referred to as “orthoplex”) can be defined as the closed unit ball in the ℓ1-norm on Rn:
${\displaystyle \{x\in \mathbb {R} ^{n}:\|x\|_{1}\leq 1\}.}$
but see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-polytope
Generically speaking, each set of k+1 orthogonal vertices corresponds to a distinct k-dimensional component which contains them. The number of k-dimensional components (vertices, edges, faces, …, facets) in an n-dimensional cross-polytope is given by the following equation:
${\displaystyle 2^{k+1}{n \choose {k+1}}}$
