Placements that went to a different minimum, per thousand
The rule's own counterfactual, run beside it: where would this node have gone with the noise taken away and everything else left alone? Placement noise displaces the node after the argmin, so the answer is always "here" — 0.2°, 0.4°, 0.8° all give zero. A jostle and a field perturbation are upstream of the choice and change one or two placements in a thousand while the lattice is still intact.
Drawn at its defaults, in noise that arrives through the neighbours. It takes no options at all, so every essay calling it gets this exact drawing.
