Icosahedron

Geometry

An icosahedron is a polyhedron with twenty faces, its name drawn from the Ancient Greek words for twenty and seat. There are infinitely many non-similar shapes of icosahedra, some more symmetrical than others; the best known is the regular icosahedron, a convex, non-stellated solid and one of the five Platonic solids, whose twenty faces are all equilateral triangles.

Is Kind Of Object

Entity-backed identity for the object-kind enum value this mathematical object already carries, resolved to a mathematics concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The object-kind fact itself stays on the object unchanged.
