  Pentachoron - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The pentachoron, also called a pentatope or 4-simplex, is the simplest convex regular polychoron (a type of four-dimensional geometric figure).
The pentachoron consists of five cells, all tetrahedra, and is self-dual.
The closest or farthest vertex of the pentachoron, respectively, projects to the center of the tetrahedron.

(rectified pentachoron) - cells are 5 tets and 5 octs, has 3P verf (vertex figure).
(facetorectified pentachoron) - cells are 5 tets and 10 trips, has 3/2 AP verf (AP = antiprism).
(prismatointercepted pentachoron) - cells are 5 octs and 10 trips, has inverted 3P verf.

 Nomenclature   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Just as the five Platonic polyhedra are “basal” to naming the 13 nonprismatic Archimedean polyhedra, so are the six regular polychora basal to naming the 40 nonprismatic Archimedean polychora.
The six regular polychora I call the pentachoron (with 5 tetrahedral cells), tesseract (with 8 cubic cells), hexadecachoron (with 16 tetrahedral cells), icositetrachoron (with 24 octahedral cells), hecatonicosachoron (with 120 dodecahedral cells), and hexacosichoron (with 600 tetrahedral cells).
For example, the Bowers name for the dispentachoron is rap, short for rectified pentachoron, which is Norman Johnson’s name for polychoron [2] in my table.

To be specific about the number of dimensions, sucha simpex is also called an n-simpex.
For example, a 0-simpex is a point, a 1-simpex is a line segment, a 2-simpex is a triangle, a 3-simpex is a tetrahedron, and a 4-simpex is a pentachoron (in each case with interior).
The convex hull of any m of the n points is also a simpex, called an m-face.

This is the gosset polytope that has a half-cube vertex-figure, and is therefore of the form 2_k1.
For example, one can derive the pentachoron from the bipentagonal prism by numbering the vertices of one in pentagon and the other in pentagramic order.
Likewise, the heptepeton or heptapyramid can be formed from the triheptagon prism by advancing the three bases at the rates of 1, 2 and 4.

Cheers that helped a bunch and now I know that what I was doing was actually relevant to something.
After a bit of searching I did find the 4-simplex referred to as a "Pentachoron" but I wasn't sure...
I'm doing a little project at the moment to do with how triangles relate to tetrahedrons and I have some interesting results which have allowed me to calculate what the 4D version would look like.

 urticator.net - The Hexadecachoron   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
It is a kind of pyramid with a triangular base, and has four sides that are (equilateral) triangles.
(In case you're wondering, yes, there is also a four-dimensional analogue of the tetrahedron, namely, the pentachoron.
It doesn't show up in the maze world.)
