Here's my attempt. Think of partitioning the space by taking random hyperplanes. This can be computed by computing the dot product of the normal to the plane with any given point to see which side of the plane the point is on. For two

As many know and point out, this idea is now very old (40+ years?). The big problem is that it creates "word salad" [0]. In the generative art and procgen community, the term "10,000 bowls of oatmeal" problem has been us
