Wait i used Projected geometry? Where did I use it? What did I do? Is it mine or is it in the original piece "White Night flower" by feldrand ?

Well, it's in the original work, but your coloration really highlights it.

I can recognize it when I see it, but I'm not really sure how to explain it, and Wikipedia uses a lot of big words that I don't really understand. Basically, it's something to do with the way the lines are projecting themselves, and the shapes and forms that result.

Here are some examples:

I fell down a rabbit hole trying to get a definition. After looking at a lot of definitions and lot of pictures I still don't know what is.
 And I am not sure the people writing the definitions and making the galleries for Project Geometry know either.

The best way I can think of it is in terms of forms of perspective that are a bit... different. Like, when you're standing on railroad tracks, the rails are parallel, and traditional (Euclidean) geometry states that parallel lines can never converge. And yet, when you look ahead on the horizon, the rails do indeed converge at the vanishing point, on the horizon. Projective geometry states that, yes, parallel lines do converge, at a point known as the point of infinity. (I'm reading Wikipedia as I type this.)

So, basically, like traditional perspective, thrown down a rabbit hole.
