Abstract
A dimensional analysis shows that all chiral labeled and unlabeled sim plexes in E(2), and all maximally labeled simplexes in higher dimensio ns, are unique in that they can be partitioned into disjoint heterochi ral sets. Such partition is impossible for all other labeled and unlab eled m-point sets (m greater than or equal to n + 2) in E(n), since th ey and their enantiomorphs are chirally connected.
