For those interested, the "3D projection of a 2D surface" that the author mentions is more formally called AdS-CFT Correspondence[0]. The AdS stands for "Anti-de Sitter spaces" and CFT for "Conformal Field Theories". This finds that the "surface" of the former looks like an example of the latter. Man, the author has stumbled onto such a cool bit of physics/math. Wish I could ramble on about it more, but I'm about to head to work. Hopefully, someone else can elaborate!
