Verify the shapes. The increase geometrically with the surface area so it encourages good system design.

The hard problems aren't hard if you look at them right. If momentum and position are conjugate terms, why wouldn't the math that we use to describe them take on a similar form?

For any network engineers out there, think of the s matrix as a way of describing a slightly more stable version of BGP.
Like if Terraform were more horrible and your routing table was a set of 10d matrices.
So maybe not /more/ horrible, just differently so
