    The twelve vertices correspond to the dvādasāyatana of early Buddhist phenomenology — six sense organs and their six corresponding objects. The Abhidhamma claims this as an exhaustive, irreducible partition of conscious experience. The icosahedral geometry at κ* predicts exactly twelve optimal regions on S². The correspondence is noted as a candidate labeling, not a claim of historical derivation.
