Regular
In the geometry of hyperbolic 3-space , the order-4-4 pentagonal honeycomb a regular space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb ). Each infinite cell consists of a pentagonal tiling whose vertices lie on a 2-hypercycle , each of which has a limiting circle on the ideal sphere.
Geometry
The Schläfli symbol of the order-4-4 pentagonal honeycomb is {5,4,4}, with four order-4 pentagonal tilings meeting at each edge. The vertex figure of this honeycomb is a square tiling , {4,4}.
It is a part of a series of regular polytopes and honeycombs with {p,4,4} Schläfli symbol , and square tiling vertex figures :
