In geometry, there is a sequence of regular honeycombs of the form {6,3,p}, with hexagonal tiling cells:
| {p,3,3} honeycombs | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Space | S3 | H3 | ||||||
| Form | Finite | Paracompact | Noncompact | |||||
| Name | {3,3,3} | {4,3,3} | {5,3,3} | {6,3,3} | {7,3,3} | {8,3,3} | ... {∞,3,3} | |
