Seriously, though, I assume he is using the ray projection principle that, for instance, make Icehouse or Zendo koans involving "pointing at" possible: http://icehousegames.org/wiki/index.php?title=Pointing
It is not that uncommon a use of the tip of a pyramid. So much so, he didn't even reply to what you thought you were asking ("What do you mean by "ray"?), but to what he thought was MORE obscure or confusing (parallel v perpendicular).
