From the above Baez essay —
"And when the hero arrives, there should be
a little flourish of trumpets, like:
And now we come to a key player:

"Ideally the tricks I’m suggesting here
will be almost invisible…."
suggest a non-mathematical "deck transformation"
that some will prefer —
In the March 21 Netflix series "3 Body Problem,"
the deck of the ship Judgment Day is transformed
in a spectacular manner by an invisible trick.
