In hyperbolic geometry , the order-4 dodecahedral honeycomb is one of four compact regular space-filling tessellations (or honeycombs ) of hyperbolic 3-space . With Schläfli symbol {5,3,4}, it has four dodecahedra around each edge , and 8 dodecahedra around each vertex in an octahedral arrangement. Its vertices are constructed from 3 orthogonal axes. Its dual is the order-5 cubic honeycomb .

Properties Regular, Quasiregular honeycomb
A geometric honeycomb is a space-filling of polyhedral or higher-dimensional cells , so that there are no gaps. It is an example of the more general mathematical tiling or tessellation
Honeycombs are usually constructed in ordinary Euclidean ("flat") space, like the convex uniform honeycombs . They may also be constructed in non-Euclidean spaces , such as hyperbolic uniform honeycombs . Any finite uniform polytope can be projected to its circumsphere to form a uniform honeycomb in spherical space.
There are four regular compact honeycombs in 3D hyperbolic space:
There are fifteen uniform honeycombs in the [5,3,4] Coxeter group family, including this regular form.

There are eleven uniform honeycombs in the bifurcating [5,31,1 ] Coxeter group family, including this honeycomb in its alternated form.
This construction can be represented by alternation (checkerboard) with two colors of dodecahedral cells.
This honeycomb is also related to the 16-cell , cubic honeycomb , and order-4 hexagonal tiling honeycomb all which have octahedral vertex figures:
