The order-3 square tiling honeycomb or just square tiling honeycomb is a paracompact regular tiling of 3D hyperbolic space. Each cell is a square tiling whose vertices lie on a horosphere, a surface in hyperbolic space that approaches a single ideal point at infinity. 3 square tilings meet at each edge, and 6 meet at each vertex.

It can be formed by rectifying the order-4 square tiling honeycomb.

Representations[edit | edit source]

The square tiling honeycomb has the following Coxeter diagrams:

  • x4o4o3o () (full symmetry)
  • o4x4o4o () (as rectified order-4 square tiling honeycomb)
  • o4x4o2o4*b () (cuboid verf)
  • x4o4x2o4*b () (square frustum verf)
  • x4o4x4o4*a () (rectangular frustum verf)
