Second Mandibular Molar of a Philippine Flying Lemur

Quantifying the Complexity of Molars using

Surface Scans: what can I extrapolate about you

from your teeth? K-tuple landmark identification—

I will trace each jagged minima and maxima. Categorize

chip, stain, abscess. Source: fear or desire?

—requires high expertise domain knowledge.

I will spend meticulous years on a doctorate

in you. Conformal flattening: I will preserve your angles

study you in two dimensional disks.

Area-preserving diffeomorphisms; I smooth, stretch,

twist you until I understand. Bijective functions?

I will map your teeth to mine, two data sets of 26,

clustered not on evolutionary tree but on structure.

How we got here is irrelevant. We’re both here now.
