Think spherical trig - and that's why the media can't report it that

But it would be a better indicator of position than simply which way
people standing on the exact same line - face...

Needs an N dimensional sphere, where N is the total sum of numbers of
anything that anyone gives a care about.

Yes, but we would call those "issues".

I think issues are what the media thinks we care about, or more often
WANTS us to care about.
