two-slots

The repulsion the rule minimises, around the circumference of a stem at a rise of 0.008, at the height the next organ will sit at. It has two low points 138.3° apart: the slot the next organ takes, and the slot the organ after it will take. The runner-up is 13.6% higher. The organ 13 places back carries 14.6% of the energy at the winning slot and twelve places back carries 16.3% at the runner-up — and that is more than the gap, so taking that organ away makes the runner-up win and the next organ appears a whole divergence away. Neither guard is a contact of the organ being placed; twelve is one place inside the larger number of the pair this stem is climbing towards.

Drawn at its defaults, in the front, rung by rung. It carries a slider over rise, so the claim in its caption strip is restated at every stop rather than at one. It takes no options at all, so every essay calling it gets this exact drawing.

The claims, measured

The ablation a plant would survive

The intervention this site proposed returns a spiral count from a yes-or-no answer, needs no protractor, and was specified at one rise. Measured across the ladder it acquires three conditions a real experiment would have to meet — and one of them is that the plant must not be too coarsely patterned, or nothing will go wrong at all.

 Where the angle comes from

The response with a hole in it

Removing an organ is felt out to the larger parastichy number and no further — that is the intervention's headline, and it holds in the middle of a rung. Swept towards a transition the run of felt offsets stops early and one lone offset past it comes alive, with three quiet organs in between. The lone offset is one place inside the count the stem is about to have.

 Where the angle comes from

The organ that guards the second slot

An organ twelve places back is the furthest of any from where the next one goes, and removing it moves the next one by a whole divergence. The reason is that the rule's profile has two low points rather than one, the second is the slot after next, and that organ is holding it up. The comparison between what it holds up and how far behind it is decides the whole thing.
