Sep 25, 2021 at 16:38 comment added KP Hart A more tentative argument for the inequality $m^*\ge2m+1$: the union of all $n$-dimensional faces of a $2n$-simplex cannot be embedded in to $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$ (Flores, 1935, see Exercise 1.11.H in Engelkings Theory of Dimensions. Finite and Infinite). In case $n=1$ you get the complete graph $K_5$. If you draw that in the plane as a pentagram in a circle and if you parametrize that, say with a map of period $10$ then no map close enough to that parametrization is injective (hence $1^*\ge3$). I would expect that something similar can be done for larger $n$.
