gollark: But, like with cubical coordinates for hex grids, the third dimension is more convenient when doing some things.
gollark: They don't have three... I think the word is linearly independent dimensions, no.
gollark: Initiating orbital dimensionality reduction strike against Fiona.
gollark: The triangles could reasonably be considered 0 (not actually linear axes), 1 (just one... unit of data?), 2 (they exist in 2D) or 3 (they can vary in three directions, but not freely).
gollark: Yes. Anyway, it is clearly a good* model.
