Nice writeup, lovely example! Brings this passage to mind:
“Mathematicians enjoy thinking about the simplest possible things, and the simplest possible things are imaginary.”
“On the other hand, once you have made your choices…then your new creations do what they do, whether you like it or not. This is the amazing thing about making imaginary patterns: they talk back!”
