BQN could add the other two corners, naturally; it just doesn't.

Every set of corners indicates one array. This is a good fit for the [based array model](based.md), where data doesn't have to be in an array. @@ -44,9 +45,9 @@ Up to one axis can be oriented horizontally, and then all the rest are laid out We've seen already that elements of a list are placed side by side, while the rows of a table (rank-2 array) are stacked on top of each other. - <¨ ↕5 # A list of units + <¨ ↕5 # A list of units - 2‿3‿4≍1‿0‿5 # A table + [2‿3‿4,1‿0‿5] # A table The 2-cells of a rank 3 array are *also* stacked on top of each other, but separated by a space.

You can put all the elements on one line or spread them across lines, with the option of adding blank lines between elements.
