Wow, I'd love to see some piece of art depicting that pink worm vine.
I assumed that was the intention of the writers of Donnie Darko. The actual shapes coming out of their chests we got were not right, but you could see this is what they were trying to do.
It gets complicated if you do not draw an arbitrary border where matter becomes part of your body and where it ceases to do so.
I have no problem with an arbitrary border. I wouldn't even have a problem with, for example, old people gradually shrinking in size to zero just to make the image more aesthetically pleasing.
