In four-dimensional Euclidean geometry, the birectified 16-cell honeycomb (or runcic tesseractic honeycomb) is a uniform space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) in Euclidean 4-space.

Symmetry constructions

There are 3 different symmetry constructions, all with 3-3 duoprism vertex figures. The symmetry doubles on in three possible ways, while contains the highest symmetry.

The [3,4,3,3], , Coxeter group generates 31 permutations of uniform tessellations, 28 are unique in this family and ten are shared in the [4,3,3,4] and [4,3,31,1] families. The alternation (13) is also repeated in other families.

The [4,3,31,1], , Coxeter group generates 31 permutations of uniform tessellations, 23 with distinct symmetry and 4 with distinct geometry. There are two alternated forms: the alternations (19) and (24) have the same geometry as the 16-cell honeycomb and snub 24-cell honeycomb respectively.

There are ten uniform honeycombs constructed by the Coxeter group, all repeated in other families by extended symmetry, seen in the graph symmetry of rings in the Coxeter–Dynkin diagrams. The 10th is constructed as an alternation. As subgroups in Coxeter notation: [3,4,(3,3)*] (index 24), [3,3,4,3*] (index 6), [1+,4,3,3,4,1+] (index 4), [31,1,3,4,1+] (index 2) are all isomorphic to [31,1,1,1].

The ten permutations are listed with its highest extended symmetry relation:
