What makes this a blend of a planar apeirogon and a regular polygon? Vel (talk) 20:43, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

"Blend" can refer to a number of operations performed on polytopes. This blending is in the sense of McMullen and Schulte. It's closely related to the parallel product. Sycamore916 (talk) 20:48, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
We might need a "Blending (disambiguation)" page, although I'm not sure how it would succinctly describe each one. Then we'd have to make sure almost all the existing links to "Blending" or "Blend" to go to the right page. The New Kid (talk) 22:02, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
A disambiguation page seems good. There are at least three polytope operations called "blending", I'm not sure what titles could be used to differentiate the articles though, since they are all "Blending (polytope operation)". Sycamore916 (talk) 02:33, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
