Zil (2.3.5.7)

Note: Zil is sometimes defined as a chiral version that contains 405/256 and 2835/2048 in place of 25/16 and 175/128 which yields the AGS (8/7, 7/6, 8/7, 7/6, 8/7, 7/6, 8/7, 189/160, 8/7, 7/6). The version discussed below uses 25/16 and 175/128 yielding the truncated AGS (8/7, 7/6, 8/7, 7/6, 8/7, 7/6, 189/160).

Zil is a 4x3x2 rectangular prism in the (3, 5, 7) space. It can be traversed along the prime axes in any order yielding 6 possible AGS recipes that generate it.
