<i know this is 3 days later, I'm sorry> So when I said that the ocean has 1000x the mass of the atmosphere, I did the math earlier to get the total mass of both. That is a different calculation than the below per unit of volum

Here is an idea I had awhile ago - the rules should limit the ability of a boundary to be concave. It isn't reasonable to say "no concave polygons", but you could create a measure of "concavity". If you look at a ri
