This idea invites projection like few others -- and something Kleinian analysts call projective identification.

The Karmarkar method starts in the inside of the polytope, then uses a technique called projective geometry to warp the whole structure, again and again, in effect changing the shape of the polytope, over and over, until the best solution is achieved.
