Paul! o.k. what does e.f stand for?

Euler-Fokker. Euler made these genera in the two dimensional 3-5
space; Fokker extended them by adding a 7 axis and potentially other
primes as well.

Well, I guess you could call that "partially stellated", but of course it's
not _the_ stellated hexany.

Just showimg that the _fully_ stellated CPS has to be distinct from the E.F.
genus.

No, it only exploits a few of these resources.

I'm betting it's the latter.

I can't think of any new ways to explain this right now. I guess you should
try to read the relevant posts again and do some thinking on your own.

Carl, they're all 6-D projections.
