This puts the $7$ points of a Fano plane inside $7$ out of the $8$ hexagonal faces. Note how the upper triangles form a shadow Fano plane for the Fano plane on the base triangle.

Theory Update 62
As with the associahedron, we may pull some faces of the permutohedron up onto three faces of a tetrahedron.

So we are seeing the natural creation truncated tetrahedra, whereby one vertex of (say) an associahedron becomes three vertices.
