We consider three dimensional piecewise linear cones in R⁴ that are mass minimal with respect to Lipschitz maps in the sense of [Almgren, F., Mem. Amer. Math. Soc. 4 (1976), no. 165] as in [Taylor, J. E., Ann. of Math. (2) 103 (1976), no. 3, 489–539]. There are three that arise naturally by taking products of R with lower dimensional cases and earlier literature has demonstrated the existence of two with 0-dimensional singularities. We classify all possible candidates and demonstrate that there are no piecewise linear minimizers outside these five.
