The display isn't my issue.  The platonic description of the Field is,
in my opinion, impossible without positing a non-trivial and
heretofore (to the best of my knowledge) nonexistent form of
non-Euclidean geometry where there's something called a "square" that
can be used to tile the surface of a torus.
