Let's take another look at the pink tennis court. I mean, the universal architectural diagram. It really isn't quite as universal as I've made it out to be. First, let's get rid of the pink.
Maybe I should give equal time to blue.
Nah.
Anyway, as I was saying, this isn't universal enough. Here's the real universal diagram.
This is what's known as an impossible object. I like it. I'm impossible object oriented. This particular impossible object is often called a widget. But you knew that already.
What you might not have known is that, up till now, it's been thought impossible to color such an object accurately. But as you can see,
that is false. There are still some perceptual difficulties with it, but I'm sure that problem is just a relic of our reptile brain. Or was it our bird brain. I forget. In any event, if you have trouble perceiving this object correctly, just use the universal clarification tool.
I'll assume you can supply your own cloud from now on.
Should be easy here in Portland... I'm allowed to make jokes about Portland because I grew up in the Pacific Northwet.
