A framed polytope is the convex closure of a finite set of points in ℝⁿ together with an ordered linear basis. An n-category is a category that is enriched in the category of (n-1)-categories. Although these concepts may initially appear to be distant peaks in the mathematical landscape, there exists a trail connecting them, blazed in the 90's by Kapranov and Voevodsky. We will traverse this path,
