I got thoroughly nerd-sniped, but I think this is the answer for 2D. Each of the 4 terms covers rays through one edge of the square. I haven't used integral of sec since high school!

My experience was that Hollow Knight is very “spacey” (you just need to move to the right positions on screen) which makes everything feel frantic and chaotic, while Nine Sols is very “timey” (you just need to parry with the right rhythm) which makes everything feel controlled and precise

When reading a chart, I think an important part of scientific literacy is actually looking at the axes and a few numbers, because it’s necessary for understanding what the chart is saying. The fact that no one who vetted the GPT presentation did this is kind of insane.
