........~~ 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.) ~~........
