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.
Where the angle comes fromA counter on the settling table
The settling table has reported an angle for every run that reaches a lattice, and nobody has ever counted one. A hundred and seventeen settled runs, regrown and counted: every one of them has a parastichy pair, and sixty-five of them land on sequences the ladder does not carry.
Where the angle comes fromWhat a steep rule counts as
Exponents four and five settle stems on 42.3°, 47.9° and 148.1°, and the two shallower ones reach none of them. All three count: 8/9, 8/15 and 2/5. None is a rung of either ladder, and one of them is the coarsest rung of a sequence the table already had.
Where the angle comes fromTen sequences, two of them the ladder's
Every parastichy pair the settling table produces is two consecutive terms of a sequence in which each term is the sum of the two before it. Ten such sequences account for all fifteen destinations, and the two the collection is built on are neither the largest nor the smallest.
Where the angle comes fromA list that was a rounding
Three destinations only a steep falloff reaches, read at two grid steps. Thirteen, read at a tenth of a degree. And four arrangements, read by what the counter returns rather than by the angle — a different four, with one the angle reading hides.
