“HIGHLIGHTS:
• Hexagonal multi-structural elements enhance Earth's surface modeling precision.
• Integration of indexing and conversion rules improves geospatial data computation.
• DGGRID implementation shows increased precision in raster and vector data modeling.
• Addresses limitations in existing software for Earth observation data.
• Pioneering approach expands geospatial data processing applications…"

'Wonder Why @What3Words Has Never Really Got Any Traction?

For instance, my regular sport at my local is ///planet.woes.lunch

Spatial cultural inertia? Users can't 'imagine' it in their workflow? Too 'cute'?
