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</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>
