Hmm. Yeah. It gets difficult to display points with the same XY coordinates and different RGB coordinates
The coordinates x, y, R, G, B are independent, so it should be possible. I think the problem is just our intuition, which isn’t optimized for perceiving color like three distances in space, or even like three separate values at all.
I feel like such intuitions could be developed. - I’m more uncertain where I would use this skill.
Though given how OOD it is there could be significant alpha up for grabs
(Q: Where would X-Ray vision for cluster structures in 5-dimensional space be extraordinarily useful?)
