The data governing the deformations of X then consist of what we call a structure, which is a collection of slabs and walls: these are codimension-one polyhedral subsets of B, contained locally in affine hyperplanes, along with some attached data of a ring automorphism which is used in our gluing construction. This structure has an important tropical interpretation: morally, a structure can be viewed as a union of tropical trees in #92;check#123;B#125; with leaves on #92;Delta.

As in much of biology, the most satisfying truths in ecology derive from manipulative experimentation. Tinker with nature and quantify how it responds.
gloss: Pleasing to certain sensory channels in neurocognition, especially auditory and tactile ones synesthetically via ASMR.
pos: adj
examples: If my girls like something I cooked for them, they don’t exclaim that it is "satisfying." Rather, the kids seem to be using the word this way to refer not to all kinds of sensory experience, but to a subset of them, more often involving sound and touch than sight, smell or taste. And this is not random. […] Quite unconsciously, American kids are transforming the word "satisfying" into a way of being more Jahai-like, more specific, about sensation. Their "Definition 2" usage is giving overt expression to what the pleasures of hearing the gurgling of a bathtub draining and the feeling of popping Bubble Wrap have in common. You may have to work to wrap your head around the likeness between those two sensations, but it makes sense that a language, in this case, English, would develop a way of corralling auditory and tactile satisfaction off from the visual, olfactory and gustatory.
