Tesseractic Honeycomb - Related Polytopes and Tessellations

Related Polytopes and Tessellations

The, Coxeter group generates 31 permutations of uniform tessellations, 19 with unique symmetry and 18 with unique geometry. The expanded tesseractic honeycomb (also known as the stericated tesseractic honeycomb) is geometrically identical to the tesseractic honeycomb.

The 24-cell honeycomb is similar, but as a body centered cubic, it has vertices positioned at integers (i,j,k,l), and half integers (i+1/2,j+1/2,k+1/2,l+1/2).

The tesseract can make a regular tessellation of the 4-sphere, with three tesseracts per face, with Schläfli symbol {4,3,3,3}, called a order-3 tesseractic honeycomb. It is topologically equivalent to the regular polytope penteract in 5-space.

The tesseract can make a regular tessellation of 4-dimensional hyperbolic space, with 5 tesseracts around each face, with Schläfli symbol {4,3,3,5}, called an order-5 tesseractic honeycomb.

Famous quotes containing the word related:

    Perhaps it is nothingness which is real and our dream which is non-existent, but then we feel think that these musical phrases, and the notions related to the dream, are nothing too. We will die, but our hostages are the divine captives who will follow our chance. And death with them is somewhat less bitter, less inglorious, perhaps less probable.
    Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
