Hi,
A good idea would be to make a library of Gem abstractions using openGL functions, dynamic objects creation and the [repeat] and [any] objects.
Then, we could use lists of 3D vectors, do arithmetics on them, and render it at the end of the chain.
Such a library could be named extensions/dyngems. Any people in the room wants to work on this ?

...what your looking for is called "constructive solid geometry" (1),
and it's not natively supported in GEM: in general, GEM's strengths
are not as a traditional "modeler"...GEM allows fairly low-level
access to 3D OpenGL operations which could be used to create your own
CSG patches, but you'd have to do the math for the primitives and
intersecting in pd, and then use GEM to upload the vertices and view...
