@gregeganSF@mathstodon.xyz area nearest 4 is largest, then area nearest 3. Statistical likelihood of picking points in these two are higher than picking one in area nearest two. Not sure about extrapolating from there to likelihood of the line’s directions. I know one ray has to cross 3 or 4 for each pair simply because any line will cross two edges. Hmm, from one point taken randomly, for any second point, the odds of crossing an edge are going to be proportional to the number of points in that direction, which again weighs toward the higher areas near 3 and 4. More points to be selected at random means higher odds of selection . That third paragraph makes me think an algorithm picking pairs and determining their crossings would favor 3 and 4. Numeric models approach algebraic at large n, so 3 & 4.
