Line 3: The method used to construct the projection ensures that the 96 regions of the sphere that are used to define the projection each have the correct area, but the projection does not qualify as equal-area because the method does not control area at infinitesimal scales or even within those regions. The Authagraph world map can be tiled in any direction without visible seams. From this map-tiling, a new world map with [[triangular]], [[rectangular]] or a [[parallelogram]]'s outline can be framed with various regions at its center. This map provides a decentralized world view.<ref>http://www.authagraph.com/projects/description/【作品解説】記事01/?lang=en~~{{dead link\|date=October 2016 \|bot=InternetArchiveBot \|fix-attempted=yes }}~~</ref> The [[map projection]] tries to reflect an infinite multiverse perspective that is intended for the understanding of global phenomena in the 21st century. The projection is useful for [[tessellation]] and thus allows for depicting temporal themes, such as a satellite's long-term movement around the earth in a continuous line.<ref>{{cite web\|url=http://www.ntticc.or.jp/Archive/2009/Openspace2009/Works/authagraph.html\|title=ICC ONLINE - ARCHIVE - 2009 - Open Space 2009 - Works\|work=ntticc.or.jp\|accessdate=29 March 2015}}</ref> In 2011 the Authagraph mapping projection was selected by the [[Miraikan\|Japanese National Museum of Emerging Science and innovation (Miraikan)]] as its official mapping tool.<ref>{{cite web\|url=http://www.miraikan.jst.go.jp/en/exhibition/tsunagari/authagraph.html\|title=The National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation (Miraikan)\|work=jst.go.jp\|accessdate=29 March 2015}}</ref> As of 2015 it is used in official Japanese high school text books.<ref>http://dwl.gov-online.go.jp/video/cao/dl/public_html/gov/pdf/hlj/20120401/26-27.pdf</ref> In October 2016, the Authagraph mapping projection won the 2016 Good Design Grand Award from the Japan Institute of Design Promotion.<ref>{{cite web\|url=https://www.g-mark.org/award/describe/44527\|title=World Map Projection [ Authagraph World Map ] - Good Design Award\|accessdate=1 November 2016}}</ref>
