Related Polytopes and Honeycombs
It is similar to the cubic honeycomb {4,3,4} of Euclidean 3-space. Both have an octahedral vertex figure, replacing the cubic cells by dodecahedra.
There are fifteen uniform honeycombs in the Coxeter group family, including this regular form.
There are eleven uniform honeycombs in the bifurcating Coxeter group family, including this honeycomb in its alternated form. This construction can be represented by alternation (checkerboard) with two colors of dodecahedral cells.
There is another regular honeycomb in hyperbolic 3-space called the order-5 dodecahedral honeycomb which has 5 dodecahedra per edge.
This honeycomb is also related to the 120-cell which has 120 dodecahedra in 4-dimensional space, with 3 dodecahedra on each edge.

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)
