How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T4745546 — 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.

D.
Kepler–Poinsot polyhedra
The Kepler–Poinsot polyhedra are the four regular star polyhedra that extend the concept of Platonic solids into non-convex, self-intersecting forms.

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.
Instruction
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.
Input
Subject: Variations of Incomplete Open Cubes Description of subject: Variations of Incomplete Open Cubes is a conceptual art series by Sol LeWitt that systematically explores all possible structural permutations of partially open cube forms.
