The
demitesseractic honeycomb or
hexadecachoric honeycomb is the one of three regular space-filling
tessellation (or
honeycomb) in Euclidean 4-space. The other two are the
tesseractic honeycomb and the
icositetrachoric honeycomb. It is constructed from
16-cell polychoron facets, three around every edge. It has a
24-cell vertex figure.
As a regular honeycomb, {3,3,4,3}, it has no lower dimensional analogues, but as an alternated form, the (demitesseractic honeycomb), h{4,3,3,4}, it is related to the alternated cubic honeycomb.
It is also called a F4 lattice.
