ceiling-shares

The same six correlation lengths across the bottom, the share of six seeds the deeper rule wins up the side, one line per size of jostle. The top line is pinned against the ceiling across the middle of the range, which is the shape of a comparison that cannot report anything. As the disturbance grows the line comes down and tilts, and at the largest one it crosses the halfway mark between the third and fourth correlations. The ceiling was not evidence that this lattice has no corner; it was evidence that the panel had no room.
How many seeds the deeper rule takes, at three disturbances. The same six correlation lengths across the bottom, the share of six seeds the deeper rule wins up the side, one line per size of jostle. The top line is pinned against the ceiling across the middle of the range, which is the shape of a comparison that cannot report anything. As the disturbance grows the line comes down and tilts, and at the largest one it crosses the halfway mark between the third and fourth correlations. The ceiling was not evidence that this lattice has no corner; it was evidence that the panel had no room.

Drawn at its defaults, in a panel with no room to report. It takes no options at all, so every essay calling it gets this exact drawing.

Where the angle comes from

Six of six is not a measurement

A panel comparing two rules seed by seed reported the deeper one winning every one of six seeds at four correlation lengths out of six, and was read as a lattice with no corner in it. Six of six is the largest number the panel can print, so the flat middle was a reading of the ceiling — and raising the disturbance brings a corner out of it.
