TW O PO INTS

Two points describe a line that connects them. Although the points give this
line finite length, the line can also be considered a segment of an infinitely
longer path.

Two points further suggest an axis perpendicular to the line they describe
and about which they are symmetrical. Because this axis may be infinite in
length, it can be at times more dominant than the described line.
In both cases, however, the described line and the perpendicular axis are
optically more dominant than the infinite number of lines that may pass
through each of the individual points.
