What has been particularly challenging is having the
visual being sufficiently suggestive of what is going
on analytically. Your can't really *draw* an infinite
plane in 3d space without mucking up the screen.
You have to suggest this oriented square is really
a visual symbol for an infinite plane in space. So even
working purely visually one is still in the realm of
creating a symbolic language of a kind. Sort of
interesting.
