The ideal neoplatonic conjecture

A 6-net is a simplicial triangulation of the 22-sphere with maximum degree at most 66. A net is prime if every 33-cycle bounds a face. An ideal neoplatonic is an equilateral ideal hyperbolic polyhedron whose ideal triangular faces meet midpoint-to-midpoint, where the midpoint of an infinite edge is the foot of the perpendicular dropped from the opposite vertex. For a 66-net σ\sigma, write Δ(σ,)\Delta(\sigma,\infty) for its ideal realization.

Ideal neoplatonic conjecture. Every 66-net σ\sigma has a realization Δ(σ,)\Delta(\sigma,\infty), unique up to isometry, as an ideal neoplatonic.

The conjecture proposes existence and uniqueness for all 66-nets. The source proves a convex ideal neoplatonic realization, unique up to isometry, for every prime 66-net with at most 5050 vertices, but does not establish the general assertion.
