How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T2842852 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
Carathéodory’s theorem in convex geometry
Carathéodory’s theorem in convex geometry is a fundamental result stating that any point in the convex hull of a set in ℝⁿ can be expressed as a convex combination of at most n+1 points from that set.

B.
Learning from Las Vegas
Learning from Las Vegas is an influential architectural theory book by Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown, and Steven Izenour that helped define postmodern architecture by championing the symbolism and vernacular of commercial landscapes like the Las Vegas Strip.
-
C.
Euler’s polyhedron formula
Euler’s polyhedron formula is a fundamental result in topology and geometry that relates the numbers of vertices, edges, and faces of a convex polyhedron through the equation V − E + F = 2.

How these facts were elicited
The pipeline generated the facts above by prompting gpt-5.1 with this entity's name + description and the instruction below.
You are a knowledge base construction expert. Given a subject entity and a description of it, return factual statements that you know for the subject as a JSON list of dictionaries(triples), where keys must be "subject", "predicate" and "object". The number of facts may be very high, between 25 to 50 or more, for very popular subjects. For less popular subjects, the number of facts can be very low, like 5 or 10. # Requirements - If you don't know the subject at all, return an empty list. - If the subject is not a named entity, return an empty list. - Include at least one triple where predicate is "instanceOf". - Do not get too wordy. - Separate several objects into multiple triples with one object.
