interaction-inside-a-rung

One line per rung, drawn against where in the rung each lattice sits — nought at the coarse end, one at the fine end, measured in the logarithm of the rise. The lines are flat. Inside a rung the interaction moves by 3.3 to 13.6 degrees, against a spread of 240 degrees across the ladder, and it falls from the coarse end to the fine one on 6 of the 7 rungs. Position inside a rung was the candidate this design was built to test and it is not what decides the sign.

Drawn at its defaults, in the slot interaction, across the ladder. It takes no options at all, so every essay calling it gets this exact drawing.

What a plant might be doing

Six lattices were not enough

The interaction between the two walls of a slot came back at −25.8° to +132.9° on six lattices, three above zero and three below, with no ordering by rise, by counted pair or by branch. A quantity that looks free on six rows is usually a quantity that has been sampled at six rows.

What a plant might be doing

When the second wall is free

On six of thirty lattices, removing both walls of the slot costs exactly what removing the larger one alone costs — 35.9° and 35.9°, 12.0° and 12.0°, agreeing to the last digit of the grid the azimuths sit on. The smaller wall is not a wall on those rows.

What a plant might be doing

The rung decides the sign

Twenty-four lattices where both walls of the slot are really there. Thirteen give a strongly positive interaction, at 85° to 135°; eleven give a negative or null one, at −25° to −0.5°. Nothing lies between. Every rung's lattices fall on the same side as each other.

What a plant might be doing

The exception was already labelled

The larger counted number sorts twenty-two of twenty-four lattices by the sign of their slot interaction. Both misses are on the Lucas 3/4 rung — the one rung a different measurement had already singled out, for reasons with nothing to do with this one.
