¨@¨@¨@¨@¨@ 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 ¨@¨@¨@¨@¨@

¨@¨@¨@¨@¨@ at least a dozen birds.)                 ¨@¨@¨@¨@¨@
