Representation
Representation is best thought of in the context of this Challenge as an idealized version of some scroll feature. A "perfect" representation of a scroll might be a well space archimedan spiral
To create a readable 2d flattened papyrus sheet from a scroll volume, we have to first map our 3d surface to 2d space. To do this, we need to know which points to map to 2d space, and in what order. The process is known as parameterization. Our goal in the representation step is to simplify these two questions.
