Re: Degrowth?

i created a class called ProximityKnotter which does an exhaustive
search looking for any joint that's too close and connects the two
joints together.  this can be run at any time to close gaps, although
it may not do so in a complete enough way.  you kind of have to glue
some other things nearby too, and that might be difficult.

hey, how about merging tetrahedrons when they overlap sufficiently?!

let's use the word "decay" instead of "degrowth", or maybe "shrinkage"?  :)
