Cubic-octahedral honeycomb Cubic-octahedral honeycomb In the geometry of hyperbolic 3-space, the cube-octahedron honeycomb is a compact uniform honeycomb, constructed from cube, octahedron, and cuboctahedron cells, in a rhombicuboctahedron vertex figure. It has a single-ring Coxeter diagram, , and is named by its two regular cells. Wide-angle perspective views: It contains a subgroup H2 tiling, the alternated order-4 hexagonal tiling, , with vertex figure (3.4). A lower symmetry form, index 6, of this honeycomb can be constructed with [(4,3,4,3)] symmetry, represented by a trigonal trapezohedron fundamental domain, and Coxeter diagram . This lower symmetry can be extended by restoring one mirror as .
Cubic honeycomb <HR> The dual of the "cantellated cubic honeycomb" is called a quarter oblate octahedrille, a catoptric tessellation with Coxeter diagram , containing faces from two of four hyperplanes of the cubic [4,3,4] fundamental domain. It has irregular triangle bipyramid cells which can be seen as 1/12 of a cube, made from the cube center, 2 face centers, and 2 vertices. The cantitruncated cubic honeycomb or cantitruncated cubic cellulation is a uniform space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) in Euclidean 3-space, made up of truncated cuboctahedra, truncated octahedra, and cubes in a ratio of 1:1:3. John Horton Conway calls this honeycomb a n-tCO-trille,
