Template:Cubic cell tessellations

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In geometry, there are a sequence of regular polytopes and honeycombs, {4,3,p}, with cubic cells. The first is the finite tesseract in 4-dimensional space. The second is the cubic honeycomb that tessellates Euclidean 3-space. The next two tessellate hyperbolic 3-space.
