  I think for maximum uselessness, they should not be overlapping spheres, but deform at the interface, like soap bubbles or rubber balls. As long as the spheres are the same size and modelled with the same “surface tension” or “elasticity”, the “intersection” of two sets would then circular interface with an area proportional to what would otherwise be an overlap (I think). If the spheres have different sizes or are modelled with different surface tension or elasticity, one would “intrude” into the other.

  Multiple sets would have increasingly complex shapes that may or not also create volumes external to the deformed spheres but still surrounded by the various interfaces.

  Time to break out the mathematics of bubbles and foam. This data ain’t gonna obscure itself!

  Might there actually be utility to something like this? Scrunch the spheres together but make invisible everything that is not an interface and label the faces accordingly. I suppose the same could be said of the shape described by overlapping. (Jesus, you’d think I was high or something. Just riffing.)

    I am, maybe that’s why I made it all the way down here ;).

    What if the labels of the faces on the 3D (pressure points or interfaces) were like things that kept the ‘soap bubbles’ from merging? Like for example: material conditions of watchers of MSM being kept from understanding how they are similar.

    Is that what you were thinking?

  Venn diagrams, but the sets represent whatever the diagram is about (like houses for housing markets).

    So something like this? I love that idea!

  Projected on a 2D screen, it’d look more like a normal venn diagram.

    That’s what 3D printing is for…

  Volumetric Herbert space diagram.

  Why limit it to 3 dimensions?

    Why limit it to an integer number of dimensions?

  How about 4D Venn diagrams?

    One might even go as far as 5D

      When I read your comment, my monocle popped right off!
