Σntrance: Platonic Solid is a song by Free Association. It plays in the foyer in Side Order after the player has cleared the Spire of Order for the first time, replacing Σntrance: Archon.
Description
Σntrance: Platonic Solid uses more upbeat instrumentation and samples compared to Σntrance: Archon, such as whistling.
Like Θrder Square: Inciner8 and the other Order Sector songs, this song is played in-game via multiple different audio tracks that are mixed together based on the player's relative proximity to certain objects in the foyer that are "generating" the song.
At 0:48, an icosahedron appears floating in the foyer, and while the player is inside it, the melody from Short Order is played using a distorted vocal sound. In the Ordertune release of the song, this occurs only during the song's second loop at 2:05.

Etymology
Σntrance uses the uppercase Greek letter "Σ" (sigma) to mimic an uppercase "E". Entrance is the Japanese localization's name for the foyer.
A Platonic solid is a regular polyhedron (3D shape), named after the Ancient Greek philosopher Plato. This likely refers to the different platonic solid-like 3D shapes that appear floating around the foyer after the player has cleared the Spire for the first time.
