Properties Regular

The order-5 cubic honeycomb is one of four regular space-filling tessellations (or honeycombs) in hyperbolic 3-space. Five cubes exist on each edge, and 20 cubes around each vertex. It is dual with the order-4 dodecahedral honeycomb.

Related honeycombs

It is related to the regular (order-4) cubic honeycomb of Euclidean 3-space, which has 4 cubes per edge, and also the tesseract of Euclidean 4-space with 3 cubes per edge.

It has an alternated form, represented by CDel node h.pngCDel 4.pngCDel node.pngCDel 3.pngCDel node.pngCDel 5.pngCDel node.png, having icosahedron and tetrahedron cells.

There are fifteen uniform honeycombs in the [5,3,4] Coxeter group family, including this regular form.
