Order-7 tetrahedral honeycomb

In the geometry of hyperbolic 3-space, the order-7 tetrahedral honeycomb is a regular space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) with Schläfli symbol {3,3,7}. It has seven tetrahedra {3,3} around each edge. All vertices are ultra-ideal (existing beyond the ideal boundary) with infinitely many tetrahedra existing around each vertex in an order-7 triangular tiling vertex arrangement.

In the geometry of hyperbolic 3-space, the infinite-order tetrahedral honeycomb is a regular space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) with Schläfli symbol {3,3,∞}. It has infinitely many tetrahedra {3,3} around each edge. All vertices are ultra-ideal (existing beyond the ideal boundary) with infinitely many tetrahedra existing around each vertex in an infinite-order triangular tiling vertex arrangement.

gollark: I decided to just go for more regular fission now and fusion later because it's better documented and I've no idea what sort of turbines or whatever work for molten salt.
gollark: I mean, it's cool, but also annoying.
gollark: * insanity
gollark: Aaargh, these chemical processing recipes are driving me to instantiy.
gollark: I feel that Botania's got better documentation myself, mostly because it's convenient and ingame.
