that's like saying...instead of cracks, why not walls.
Molds may be "convex", but to speak of a "convex" niche is nonsense. Many identify molds according to the design behind their dimensions, whereas one would associate a niche with a crack or crevice within a larger order. Nonetheless, instances such as "niche advertising" and "pursuing one's niche" assume the implicit and definable dimensions of a hispanic population, for example, or the rules by which one might conduct oneself in their profession. These examples demonstrate order within the niche, a trait shared with the mold. One might even conclude that a niche is a mold - a particular kind of mold. It is concave, it is immediately perceived as a aberration from the norm, but ultimately its dimensions are definable and, more importantly, reproducible. Therefore, one could make "plain copies" from both molds and niches. Now I return to your point, and I ask, how do they differ and where lies the "original" between the two?
Best,
Dave

instead of niches - concaves - why not convex ( mountains - tits ???)
remember the bra affair recently ?
were all obsessed,in some way or at some level,...aren't we,
but by what ???
(molds anyways are plain copies of some original)
