True. I like them too, and they are pretty close to what Lem describes.
Still... I am thinking about isosurfaces, meshes, and media... I am
currently re-reading the book and I admit that often Lem is confusing or
contradictory in his descriptions of the Ocean, and particularly the strange
artifacts it generates (mimoids, symmetriads, extensors, agilus...).
