what a clear presentation! thank-you :)

I like what I see here, nice accent, easy to follow presentation

Maybe a strange question, it´s not really my subject. But what is wrong with vertex integration and constructing a genericly smooth nurbs surface on top of the vertices? This is how I calculate minimal surfaces in 3d. Why do we need a formula if a model converges to a minimal surface in a few cycles (and after a few tweaks)? Or is the purpose of these formulas to find surfaces in extremely difficult topologies or higher dimensions?

I must say I like the approach.
Infinity is interesting but it's collapse to simplicity is powerful.
Because the simpler it is the easier it is the simpler it is to connect to infinity.
