DUNE, are you sure your cardinal axes are correct?

If they are, then it's not clear, Thanos, how are you measuring which direction those corners are pointing.

If you draw a line between the top and bottom corner, then that axis is reasonably aligned with the N-S axis. In that case, a line connecting the left and right corners isn't parallel to the E-W axis.

Meanwhile, I would consider a corner to "point" in a direction based on the axis formed by bisecting the corner's angle, i.e., at 45 degrees for a right angle corner. And so assuming Dune's cardinal axes are correct, no corner is aligned to any cardinal point.

What did I miss?
