What is the best way to render the graphics to show the heart of
the matter in this notebook?


CMYKColor is a four coordinate color directive: Cyan, Magenta,
Yellow, and Black. Each coordinate can represent the outward
movement of one of the planes that define a tetrahedron. So, all
of the subsets of four things have a color code and a geometrical
representation (in the Synergetics coordinate system). It is a
four dimensional tetrahedral Venn-like diagram. The larger subsets

(tetrahedra) contain the other representations of the smaller
subsets.
