In geometry, the 8-cubic honeycomb or octeractic honeycomb is the only regular space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) in Euclidean 8-space.
It is analogous to the square tiling of the plane and to the cubic honeycomb of 3-space, and the tesseractic honeycomb of 4-space.
There are many different Wythoff constructions of this honeycomb. The most symmetric form is regular, with Schläfli symbol {4,36,4}. Another form has two alternating hypercube facets (like a checkerboard) with Schläfli symbol {4,35,31,1}. The lowest symmetry Wythoff construction has 256 types of facets around each vertex and a prismatic product Schläfli symbol {∞}(8).
