Truncated Octahedron Packing
Attached are graphics showing how the cube and the octahedron are formed by the centers of a packing of truncated octahedrons around a trunc. octa. nuclear center.
Interesting that while a singular poly, the truncated octahedron, fills space, there is the pattern of the cube and the octahedron duality that is retained via the trunc. octa. centers.
