  In 6-dimensional geometry, the $1_{22}$ polytope is a uniform polytope, constructed from the $E_6$ group. It was first published in E. L. Elte's 1912 listing of semiregular polytopes, named as $V_{72}$ (for its 72 vertices).
  
  Its Coxeter symbol is $1_{22},$ describing its bifurcating Coxeter-Dynkin diagram, with a single ring on the end of the 1-node sequence. There are two rectifications of the $1_{22},$ constructed by positions points on the elements of $1_{22}.$ The rectified $1_{22}$ is constructed by points at the mid-edges of the $1_{22}.$ The birectified $1_{22}$ is constructed by points at the triangle face centers of the $1_{22}.$
  
  These polytopes are from a family of 39 convex uniform polytopes in 6-dimensions, made of uniform polytope facets and vertex figures, defined by all permutations of rings in this Coxeter-Dynkin diagram: .

  ### Construction
  
  It is created by a Wythoff construction upon a set of 6 hyperplane mirrors in 6-dimensional space.
  
  The facet information can be extracted from its Coxeter-Dynkin diagram, .
  
  Removing the node on either of 2-length branches leaves the 5-demicube, $1_{31},$ .
  
  The vertex figure is determined by removing the ringed node and ringing the neighboring node. This makes the birectified 5-simplex, $0_{22},$ .
  
  Seen in a configuration matrix, the element counts can be derived by mirror removal and ratios of Coxeter group orders.

  **Geometric folding**
  
  The $1_{22}$ is related to the 24-cell by a geometric folding E6 → F4 of Coxeter-Dynkin diagrams, E6 corresponding to $1_{22}$ in 6 dimensions, F4 to the 24-cell in 4 dimensions. This can be seen in the Coxeter plane projections. The 24 vertices of the 24-cell are projected in the same two rings as seen in the $1_{22}.$

  ### Construction
  
  Its construction is based on the $E_6$ group and information can be extracted from the ringed Coxeter-Dynkin diagram representing this polytope: .
  
  Removing the ring on the short branch leaves the birectified 5-simplex, .
  
  Removing the ring on the either 2-length branch leaves the birectified 5-orthoplex in its alternated form: $t_2(2_{11}),$ .
  
  The vertex figure is determined by removing the ringed node and ringing the neighboring ring. This makes 3-3 duoprism prism, {3}×{3}×, .
  
  Seen in a configuration matrix, the element counts can be derived by mirror removal and ratios of Coxeter group orders.
