Summary. A dimensional analysis shows that all chiral labeled and unlabeled simplexes in E 2, and all maximally labeled simplexes in higher dimensions, are unique in that they can be partitioned into disjoint heterochiral sets. Such partition is impossible for all other labeled and unlabeled m-point sets (m?n+2) in E n , since they and their enantiomorphs are chirally connected.
