That is an awesome map

According to saltwater fish... What about all of the freshwater fish?

Cool map though!

Freshwater fish have multiple, much smaller maps which have no connection to each other.

Are rivers 2d or 1d?
edoceo•6m ago
3d

Not to mention that no fish would have any insight into at least whatever is within visible distance from the shore surface. An accurate version of such a map would highlight an interesting perspective of how humans also lack the ability to perceive, comprehend, or even accept things they either physically or psychologically cannot perceive or do not wish to perceive and accept it.

I may be very easy to amuse but but Spilhaus projection for compact Hausdorff space (the surface of the Earth) tickled my drying bones.

Seems the landmasses are indeed housing off all that spilled water.

Humor aside, the first thing it reminded me of is the Quincunx projection. There all the landmass is at the centre and is housed off by the oceans. And you can tile Euclidean space with it.
