¨#¨¨¨¨#¨#¨ 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 ¨#¨¨¨¨##¨¨

¨#¨¨¨¨#¨¨¨ a seagull can  be  defined by  as little ##¨#¨¨¨##¨
##¨¨¨##¨¨# as  five  vertices;  six  triangles.  (i ¨###¨¨#¨#¨
¨#¨¨#¨#¨#¨ would  recommend  handling in swarms  of #¨¨#¨#####
