where-the-exchange-sits

Chains are numbered from the removed organ, so chain 0 is the chain the hole was on and chain 2 is two organs along it. The exchange is at the hole's own chain on 10 of the 17 rows that carry one, against 2.8 rows for a chain drawn at random from each row's own period. That is far more often than anywhere else and it is not every row, so the position is a tendency rather than a rule — and the file says so rather than rounding it up.

Which chain the backward exception sits on, over the census. Chains are numbered from the removed organ, so chain 0 is the chain the hole was on and chain 2 is two organs along it.

Drawn at its defaults, in which two chains changed places. It takes no options at all, so every essay calling it gets this exact drawing.

What a plant might be doing

Which chains changed places

A wrecked stem's displacement profile is a set of levels, one per chain, with two of them out of line — equal and opposite, on neighbouring chains. Nothing said which two. They are the hole's own chain and the one below it, on ten of the seventeen cuts that carry a pair.

What a plant might be doing

One way round, seventeen times

The two chains that change places in a wrecked stem are adjacent, which is symmetric and says nothing about direction. Label them by lag from the hole and the one displaced forwards is always the lower of the two — on every row of the census, without an exception.

What a plant might be doing

A fifth of the hop

The exchanged pair misses one divergence step by up to twelve per cent, and the miss is not scatter: every row keeping a lag of 5 or 7 overshoots and every row keeping a 4 or an 8 falls short. Subtract a fifth of the surviving hop's own angle and the worst row is four per cent.
