This is really cool. I especially like the idea of being able to choose the
degree of roughness/fineness of the discretising. Nice work, and good
conceptualizing.

Am I guessing correctly that the 'hexagon' shape is actually a 3-D volumetric
cube? Or just flat? If 3-D, then I can visualize what you mean by the grays and
whites being "pushed to the rear" of the cube. That would make sense visually--
the 'center point' of the 2-D hexagon (or 'front corner' of the cube)
representing pure black, and the 'rear corner' of the cube representing pure
white.
