Triangular prismatic honeycomb
Open-knowledge reference entry
The triangular prismatic honeycomb or triangular prismatic cellulation is a space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) in Euclidean 3-space. It is composed entirely of triangular prisms.
It is constructed from a triangular tiling extruded into prisms.
It is one of 28 convex uniform honeycombs.
It consists of 1 + 6 + 1 = 8 edges meeting at a vertex, There are 6 triangular prism cells meeting at an edge and faces are shared between 2 cells.

Hexagonal prismatic honeycomb
The hexagonal prismatic honeycomb or hexagonal prismatic cellulation is a space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) in Euclidean 3-space made up of hexagonal prisms.
It is constructed from a hexagonal tiling extruded into prisms.
It is one of 28 convex uniform honeycombs.
This honeycomb can be alternated into the gyrated tetrahedral-octahedral honeycomb, with pairs of tetrahedra existing in the alternated gaps (instead of a triangular bipyramid).
There are 1 + 3 + 1 = 5 edges meeting at a vertex, 3 hexagonal prism cells meeting at an edge, and faces are shared between 2 cells.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Triangular prismatic honeycomb” is open-knowledge reference entry. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Triangular, prismatic and honeycomb, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “open-knowledge reference entry” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7840147. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
