the vertex figure pyramid of the n+1-demihypercube!

Fascinating! So as the dimension increases these pyramids become shallower and shallower, so they could potentially augment a *lot* of CRFs and still remain convex. This does require the augment to fit on a rectified (n-1)-simplex facet, though. How many polytopes would have such cells? The n-cube truncates would, and the number of those increases exponentially with dimension. Which leads to the question: at what dimension does the rectified n-simplex pyramid become shallow enough that it can augment a birectified (n+1)-cube and still remain convex? That would be an interesting question to answer.

Thence there the dihedral between the base and those lacings would have the counterintuitive behaviour to increase with the dimension instead.

So indeed the dihedrals between lacing simplex and base rectified simplex would allow for arbitrary many such components around an ridge, however the neighbouring ridge would prohibite that at the same time!
