The fuzzy question snowflake that started all this blizzard was a lucky one; it brought all the best theorists out, and glittered-up the landscape, covering everything to such a depth that one can imagine dragons under each drift ... I think it is now safe to make up anything whatsoever. Perhaps the new Tomato will have no nouns verbs or adjectives, only 4 colors (I need 4 to color a spherical map) and maybe 10 combinations (red+blue, red+green, etc). Each complete sentence would paint the sphere, an incomplete implies such. Each word has a border of one color but internally is composed of differently shaded state-regions, potentially very complex.
