Apollonian sphere packing

Apollonian sphere packing is the three dimensional equivalent of the Apollonian gasket. The principle of construction is very similar: if you have any four spheres which are cotangent to each other, it is then possible to construct two more spheres which are cotangent to four of them.

The fractal dimension is 2.473946.^[1]
