I mean, isn't it trivial? For instance, you can make any Euler characteristic you want by making a cell complex with a 1-cells and b 2-cells and then the Euler characteristic will be 1 + b - a. Am I missing something? If this is the problem and this is how the model looks for a solution, yes, it is overcomplicating things.

It hasn't been to grad school yet, and it's only 32B parameters!

Yes that's a nice solution. I think I asked for the answer as a polyhedron (I tried a few variations), but maybe it (and I) should have just reached for CW complexes.
