sorry for the mistake but ...
you wrote "I find points on the plane perpendicular to the input normal, then
deform those points, and then find the deformed normal which is the vector
perpendicular to the deformed points on the plane."
I just don't understand this meaning sentence.
How you find normal perpendicular to 4 (you wrote that you best number is 4)
deformed points ? and what plane ? 4 points not describe plane.

every two vectors joined to one point describe triangle
I just "virtualize" situation :-)
