All at once you brought together Occam's Razor, Universality, differential equations, manifolds, and quantum field theory into a comment I actually understand. You should teach.

People here may disagree with your form factor but the name and setup is brilliant. I've learned to stop asking "Why would anyone use this?" because that often leads to the incorrect conclusion that "No one would use this". If you described

These signs are litter. The losers who post these signs are littering on public property and they can and should be fined for littering. Anyone who finds these signs can and should dispose of them.
