The final solution is adding a third dimension so that all areas, angles and distances are conserved.

If 2D projections aren't good enough then don't use them.

I've been working on this problem for 20 years (I am autistic but also dumb)
I switch between accepting that there is no perfect answer most of the time, and chasing wild geese down rabbit holes when I get what I imagine is very close to a manic episode
