This tiling is topologically related as a part of sequence of regular polyhedra and tilings with vertex figure (4n).

This hyperbolic tiling is related to a semiregular infinite skew polyhedron with the same vertex figure in Euclidean 3-space.

gollark: The phone system is seemingly a weird horrible mess.

gollark: They totally are. They randomly stop focusing right for some reason. They've apparently got the light sensitive bits and nerves the wrong way round.
gollark: > we probably got fukd because humans have probably been through several genetic bottleneck eventsThat's no excuse for some things like poorly designed eyes which are common to basically all hominids.
