=== As a configuration === This [[Regular 4-polytope#As configurations|configuration matrix]] represents the 5-cell. The rows and columns correspond to vertices, edges, faces, and cells. The diagonal numbers say how many of each element occur in the whole 5-cell. The nondiagonal numbers say how many of the column's element occur in or at the row's element. This self-dual polytope's matrix is identical to its 180 degree rotation.{{sfn|Coxeter|1973|p=12|loc=§1.8. Configurations}} The ''k''-faces can be read as rows left of the diagonal, while the ''k''-figures are read as rows after the diagonal.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://bendwavy.org/klitzing/incmats/pen.htm | title=Pen }}</ref> [[File:Symmetrical 5-set Venn diagram.svg|thumb|Grünbaum's rotationally symmetrical 5-set Venn diagram, 1975]] {| class=wikitable |- !Element||''k''-face||f<sub>''k''</sub> !f<sub>0</sub> !f<sub>1</sub> !f<sub>2</sub> !f<sub>3</sub> !''k''-figs |- align=right |align=left bgcolor=#ffffe0 |<!--. . . .-->{{CDD|node_x|2|node_x|2|node_x|2|node_x}}||( ) |rowspan=1|f<sub>0</sub> |bgcolor=#e0ffe0|5 | bgcolor=#e0e0e0|4 | bgcolor=#ffffff|6 | bgcolor=#e0e0e0|4 |[[Tetrahedron|{3,3}]] |- align=right |align=left bgcolor=#ffffe0 |<!--x . . .-->{{CDD|node_1|2|node_x|2|node_x|2|node_x}}||{ } |rowspan=1|f<sub>1</sub> | bgcolor=#e0e0e0|2 |bgcolor=#e0ffe0|10 | bgcolor=#e0e0e0|3 | bgcolor=#ffffff|3 |[[Triangle|{3}]] |- align=right |align=left bgcolor=#ffffe0 |<!--x3o . .-->{{CDD|node_1|3|node|2|node_x|2|node_x}}||[[triangle|{3}]] |rowspan=1|f<sub>2</sub> | bgcolor=#ffffff|3 | bgcolor=#e0e0e0|3 |bgcolor=#e0ffe0|10 | bgcolor=#e0e0e0|2 |{ } |- align=right |align=left bgcolor=#ffffe0 |<!--x3o3o .-->{{CDD|node_1|3|node|3|node|2|node_x}}||[[Tetrahedron|{3,3}]] |rowspan=1|f<sub>3</sub> | bgcolor=#e0e0e0|4 | bgcolor=#ffffff|6 | bgcolor=#e0e0e0|4 |bgcolor=#e0ffe0|5 |( ) |} All these elements of the 5-cell are enumerated in [[Branko Grünbaum]]'s [[Venn diagram]] of 5 points, which is literally an illustration of the regular 5-cell in [[#Projections|projection]] to the plane.
