In geometry, the tetrakis square tiling is a tiling of the Euclidean plane.
It is the dual tessellation of the truncated square tiling which has one triangle and two octagons at each vertex.
It is topologically related to the polyhedron tetrakis hexahedron, V4.6.6

The structure according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of basic rigid-stellate polygonal modules form octahedrons and tetrahedrons, and wherein the octahedrons and the tetrahedrons are joined to form several different substantially spherical complexly concave polyhedral structures.
The structure according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of basic rigid-stellate polygonal modules form tetrahedrons which are joined into groupings of hexahedrons, and wherein the hexahedrons are joined to form several different substantially ellipsoidal complexly concave faceted polyhedral structures.
The overall form of this polyhedron as formed by the adjacency of the base corners of the octohedrons at the exterior is a larger octohedron with additional tetrahedrons located at the center of the faces of the exterior triangular sides of the octahedron.

 Möbius Deltahedra
We direct our attention to a unique set of five highly symmetric non-convex deltahedra which appear in the above image of six figures rendered by Rolf Asmund.
The last figure in the bottom row represents a "stellated cube" (more technically an equilateral tetrakis hexahedron) which has a similar origin as the others but, as you will see later, it does not satisfy the special symmetry requirements of the other five cases.
The symmetry relationships that distinguish our five cases evoke both mathematical interest and esthetic pleasure.

 The 24-Cell
These 6 cells would be hidden from view if a 4D viewer were looking at the 24-cell from this viewpoint.
The vertex-first perspective projection of the 24-cell has the same structure as described for the orthographic projection, except that due to foreshortening, its equitorial cells are not completely flat and so its envelope is a tetrakis hexahedron.
The following diagram shows this perspective projection, with hidden cells omitted.
