We find a new highly symmetrical and very numerous class (millions of nonisomorphic sets) of 4-dim Kochen–Specker (KS) vector sets. Due to the nature of their geometrical symmetries, they cannot be obtained from previously known ones. We generate the sets from a single set of 60 orthogonal spin vectors and 75 of their tetrads (which we obtained from the 600-cell) by means of our newly developed stripping technique. We also consider critical KS subsets and analyze their geometry. The algorithms and programs for the generation of our KS sets are presented.
