You took that well
"neo-" is fine with me.

Now it's your turn.

Attached is my own attempt at a classical minimalist raytracing:

Features:
-orthographic camera so it is not a perspective space

-ambient or "pure" color only

-only the "transparency" of the color is varied

-minimalist theme of an interleaved sequence suggesting "stasis"

-use of unit squares unless good reason why not

-use of centered composition unless good reason why not

-use of off-white background because nobody's perfect
