Order-6-3 square honeycomb
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the geometry of hyperbolic 3-space, the order-6-3 square honeycomb or 4,6,3 honeycomb is a regular space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb). Each infinite cell consists of a hexagonal tiling whose vertices lie on a 2-hypercycle, each of which has a limiting circle on the ideal sphere.
