Order-5 Dodecahedral Honeycomb - Related Constructions

Related Constructions

There is another honeycomb in hyperbolic 3-space called the order-4 dodecahedral honeycomb which has only four dodecahedra per edge. These honeycombs are also related to the 120-cell which can be considered as a honeycomb in positively-curved space (the surface of a 4 dimensional sphere), with three dodecahedra on each edge.

There are nine uniform honeycombs in the Coxeter group family, including this regular form. Also the bitruncated form, t1,2{5,3,5}, of this honeycomb has all truncated icosahedron cells.

The Seifert–Weber space is a compact manifold that can be formed as a quotient space of the order-5 dodecahedral honeycomb.

    “Becoming responsible adults is no longer a matter of whether children hang up their pajamas or put dirty towels in the hamper, but whether they care about themselves and others—and whether they see everyday chores as related to how we treat this planet.”
