Each chiral pair is counted as one when enumerating unoriented arrangements. The Schläfli symbol of the 24-cell is {3,4,3}. It has 24 octahedral facets. It is self-dual. For n>96, a(n) = 0.

A338953(n) = Sum_{j=1..Min(n,96)} a(n) * binomial(n,j).

a(n) = A338956(n) - A338958(n) = (A338956(n) + A338959(n)) / 2 = A338958(n) + A338959(n).
