1. Use solid rotate, but not using the normal polar axis of rotation--angled axes will create very weird latticed geometrics, and if the rotated line segment is also angled, then the produced variety of shapes is all the more infinite.
2. Use solid extrude, but again not using the line of extrusion in a strict polar fashion. Moreover, the original lines being extruded do not have to be on the same flat plane either.
3. Begin to exaggeratingly distort existing models, e.g., spread them out far and wide to create whole new terrains (upon which to place new new buildings and/or environments). Of course, playing with (reducing) the z factor will also come into play.
4. Extrude and rotate wireframes that are already in 3D.
This new breed of model formation and manipulation manifests Ottopia in 3D.

Does this so-called "divorce of signs from their signified" create some kind of inferior, less authentic, outcomes? Or is it really just a matter of degrees of separation?

The notion that texts within the Internet are somehow not published is bogus. Furthermore, the notion of texts published within the Internet being automatically much less reliable than texts published via books is also bogus, since texts published via books (and reputable publishers like MIT Press) are not automatically more reliable, and Tafuri's repeated publications of erroneous material regarding Piranesi's Campo Marzio plan is a prime example.
