Order-4 24-cell honeycomb
In the geometry of hyperbolic 4-space, the order-4 24-cell honeycomb is one of two paracompact regular space-filling tessellations (or honeycombs). It is called paracompact because it has infinite vertex figures, with all vertices as ideal points at infinity. With Schläfli symbol {3,4,3,4}, it has four 24-cells around each face. It is dual to the cubic honeycomb honeycomb.
