iwdw,

You draw your boundary around a volume of space where there is no greater-than-usual density

This suggests otherwise.

Remember, Thingspace doesn't morph to one's utility function - it is a representation of things in reality, outside one's head. Wigginettes aren't an identifiable cluster in Thingspace, since the two attributes they all possess aren't correlated in any way, in stark and shocking defiance of #32.

Seriously though, I'm a sucker for dark hair and green eyes.
