<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Thing is,
the Whorl is the interior surface of a cylinder. Therefore, <BR>>"up" is
always toward the center.</FONT></DIV></FONT>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Absolutely not true. The premise here seems to be
that all the land in the Whorl is "flat" (relative to the LS), and the mountains
all point perpendicular to the LS. Very simplistic idea, and difficult to
acheive for an environment that is a hollowed out asteroid. Anything built using
a plumb would be perpendicular to the LS. All else would not unless it was
coincidentally tilting parallel with the LS.</FONT></DIV>
