....~==*@# 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 *==~......
