Abstract: In 3 dimensions, the Ising model is in the same universality class as $ph{i}^4$-theory, whose massive 3-loop tetrahedral diagram, $C^{Tet}$, was of an unknown analytical nature. In contrast, all single-scale 4-dimensional tetrahedra were reduced, in hep-th/9803091, to special values of exponentially convergent polylogarithms. Combining dispersion relations with the integer-relation finder PSLQ, we find that $C^{Tet}/2^{5/2}=C{l}_2(4alpha)-C{l}_2(2alpha)$, with $C{l}_2(heta):=su{m}_{n>0}sin(nheta)/n^2$ and $alpha:=arcsinfrac13$. This empirical relation has been checked at 1,000-digit precision and readily yields 50,000 digits of $C^{Tet}$, after transformation to an exponentially convergent sum, akin to those studied in math.CA/9803067. It appears that this 3-dimensional result entails a polylogarithmic ladder beginning with the classical formula for $pi/sqrt2$, in the manner that 4-dimensional results build on that for $pi/sqrt3$.
