What, in the end, is pre-burst -> post-burst?

- From competition to cooperation.
- From the Cartesian plane to a relativistic gravitational field.
- From the plane to curved space.
- From vector space to vector field.
- From a user who merely navigated space passively, subordinated to the hierarchy of an already given two-dimensional space, passively playing a game inside rules someone else set, to a creator who plays with the space itself, with the Banpo-Xi hierarchy itself, who affirms, distorts, overturns and caricatures it.
- From spectator/navigator to actuator/constructor/distorter.
- From the (Nietzschean) camel, by way of the lion, to the child.

Like a hairbrush, a soft, cushioned hairbrush: press a certain spot with your finger and the plane of the brush distorts accordingly. From the position of a finger that passively navigated the 2D plane (scrolling up, down, left and right, as in Reels), to the position of the finger as "actuator", which now distorts that 2D plane, re-erects its hierarchy, and finally plays with the topological field again, like a Mobius strip.

Relativistic, like a gravitational field. Like a trampoline -> children truly love trampolines! An expression of the will to power. Making the Plane Hyperbolic! From subordinate to Banpo-Xism -> to the creative XXYY-ism that one makes oneself!

From Euclidean geometry to Riemannian geometry!
- Hyperbolic geometry
- The Poincare disk model
- Smoothed particle hydrodynamics
- Gaussian deformation model
- Riemannian manifold
