band-width-predicted
Drawn at its defaults, in every handover, and the band around it. It takes no options at all, so every essay calling it gets this exact drawing.

the blast radius of changing it
Four crossings nobody visited
Six rungs of the ladder carry a handover and two of them had a band built on them. The other four are here: 70, 126, 16 and 124 rises wide, found by sweeping at a ratio rather than at a fixed step in the rise, which is why the fine ones had been stepped over.
Stems and conesA band that moves nothing
One of the six bands holds the counted pair, holds the divergence, and does not move the ordering: its two contact steps stay within four parts in a thousand of each other across the whole of it, so the ordering changes hands three times and neither end has one worth the name.
Stems and conesHow wide a band should be
A band ends where the divergence has slid a twentieth of a degree, so its width should follow from how fast the divergence slides. Predicted from the rung's slope that is wrong by factors of 0.20 to 5.92; predicted from a stationary point it is 0.41 to 1.08, and the outlier is the rung that has no stationary point.
Stems and conesThe ordering on six bands
A hundred and fourteen wrecked cuts across four bands, and at every offset of every one of them the family left standing is the same immediately above the handover and immediately below it. Where the answer does change — on the widest band, at three offsets — it changes somewhere else.
