The 5-cubic honeycomb or penteractic honeycomb is the only regular space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) in Euclidean 5-space. Four 5-cubes meet at each cubic cell, and it is more explicitly called an order-4 penteractic honeycomb.

It is analogous to the square tiling of the plane and to the cubic honeycomb of 3-space, and the tesseractic honeycomb of 4-space.

Constructions[]

There are many different Wythoff constructions of this honeycomb. The most symmetric form is regular, with Schläfli symbol {4,33,4}. Another form has two alternating 5-cube facets (like a checkerboard) with Schläfli symbol {4,3,3,31,1}. The lowest symmetry Wythoff construction has 32 types of facets around each vertex and a prismatic product Schläfli symbol {∞}5.

The expanded 5-cubic honeycomb is geometrically identical to the 5-cubic honeycomb.

The 5-cubic honeycomb can be alternated into the 5-demicubic honeycomb, replacing the 5-cubes with 5-demicubes, and the alternated gaps are filled by 5-orthoplex facets.

It is also related to the regular 6-cube which exists in 6-space with 3 5-cubes on each cell. This could be considered as a tessellation on the 5-sphere, an order-3 penteractic honeycomb, {4,34}.

Tritruncated 5-cubic honeycomb[]

A tritruncated 5-cubic honeycomb, CDel branch 11.pngCDel 3ab.pngCDel nodes.pngCDel 4a4b.pngCDel nodes.png, contains all bitruncated 5-orthoplex facets and is the Voronoi tessellation of the D5* lattice. Facets can be identically colored from a doubled ×2, [[4,33,4]] symmetry, alternately colored from , [4,33,4] symmetry, three colors from , [4,3,3,31,1] symmetry, and 4 colors from , [31,1,3,31,1] symmetry.
