Honeycomb (geometry) Honeycomb (geometry) In geometry, a honeycomb is a "space filling" or "close packing" of polyhedral or higher-dimensional "cells", so that there are no gaps. It is an example of the more general mathematical "tiling" or "tessellation" in any number of dimensions. Its dimension can be clarified as "n"-honeycomb for a honeycomb of "n"-dimensional space. Honeycombs are usually constructed in ordinary Euclidean ("flat") space. They may also be constructed in non-Euclidean spaces, such as hyperbolic honeycombs. Any finite uniform polytope can be projected to its circumsphere to form a uniform honeycomb in spherical space. There are infinitely many honeycombs, which have
