Hi /sci/ so I started fucking around with shapes for an art project.

Interested in the answer myself

I imagine it relates to something simple like graphing a sine wave

I refer to it as 'point perspective'

What you are drawing is relatable to thr dual graphs of planar graphs, most of the time this point that you draw as the dashed line is represented as every point at infinity.

I figured it was related to graph theory

So it's normal that my expanded point thingamajig disappears on the dual graph? Great. That was beginning to fuck with me.

So what is this called? If it's graph theory, am I just... graphing polyhedra?

Curves represent 3rd dimension
Circle around it creates the space/size of the object

A cone shaped mirror does the same

Why is a 5 cornered shape always used?

I use a hexagon, the 6th corner is gravitation towards a plain. The opposite of that one both form a perspective view towards the next object

Yup, and yes
