..&.&..&.& the seagull is a metaphysics trick; a .&.&.&.&.&
.&&.&.&&.& world-builder's shortcut, to define a .&.&.&.&.&
..&.&..&.& section of reality and imply its size: .&.&.&.&.&
.&&.&.&&.& place a flock of birds at the edge and .&.&.&.&.&
..&.&..&.& make their calls tesselate over the .&.&.&.&.&
.&&.&.&&.& entire volume .&.&.&.&.&
..&.&..&.& .&.&.&.&.&
.&&.&.&&.& a seagull can be defined by as little .&.&.&.&.&
..&.&..&.& as five vertices; six triangles. (i .&.&.&.&.&
.&&.&.&&.& would recommend handling in swarms of .&.&.&.&.&
..&.&..&.& at least a dozen birds.) .&.&.&.&.&
