When I had to make a choice between the nice endless loop of Twenty-Nines and Thirties, and that odd rod of mainly Twenty-Sixes, I will admit that the bigger atoms were much easier to ride. An occasional Twenty-Six is not a bother, but a whole conductor of them, well, that's another matter entirely.
Looking for a spot in a mess of Twenty-Sixes and the wannabe Twenty-Eight usually means bumping another Electron out of the way and taking it. You would not believe some of the taps that I've gotten in response to actions like that. I am learning to be more patient, but there are some Electrons that are just plain ornery.
I don't know if it's just me, or if there is something wrong with the Twenty-Nines. Anyplace there is not a Thirty within easy pull, the Twenty-Nines seem to by suffering from some kind of distortion in to their orbits. This is not the normal blorple that happens when we Electrons get a little to close in those odd outer orbits. This is vastly different. The tops and bottoms get bent to one side and then another, while the middle of the orbit is pretty much the same, but the bends change too.

Conduct
The occasional Twenty-Six was no bother at all. The Twenty-Nines and Thirties were as free and easy as I remember. Spin-flipping my way in any direction I desire, this group of conductive atoms is a wonderful reward for taking the chance on that moving Eleven. It even lets me take a quick look at the overall shape of this object, since I can move so easily.
Four corners of equal shape are at the farthest points on this conductive structure. The edges are straight, and there are four of them, at least on the outside. Inside, there are actually eight edges, also straight, but four of these edges are less than half the length of the other four.
Unlike the outer edges, two of the long edges are composed of Twenty-Sixes, and are built from a single long-circle. It its always a circle if you cut through it, but it is a long edge if you follow the parallel edge on the interior of the Twenty-Nine and Thirty Structure. Between the inner and outer edges is a bulging but still smooth arch of Twenty-Nines and Thirties, regardless of which side you decide to use to get from inner to outer edge.

Landed
Following the path, and sticking to my Eleven brought us not to the landing zone, but to the destruction zone. The Seventeens were being pulled into an odd union where the anticipated Twenty-Nines and Thirties were in contact with and structure of mainly Twenty-Sixes. The Seventeens were attracted to this junction, and were being rapidly combined with Twenty-Sixes, and liberating dozens of Electrons.
For every three Seventeens that that approached the Twenty-Sixes, a singleton Twenty-Six would become ensnared with the trio, and speed off into the abundant soup of One-Eight-Ones. This small structure of Twenty-Sixes, while inviting, would eventually disappear. Since the Seventeens were doing all the work, the Elevens began to pile up.
From this pile of Elevens, I made an easy transition to the Twenty-Nine and Thirty section, which was many times larger than the structure of Twenty-Sixes. It has been so long since I was on a conductor, the ease of moving was a welcome change from dealing with the One-Eight-Ones and their strange soup of assorted atoms.

Sought
The fact that I was moving away from the 876 monster was enough good for me. Long ago, I recognized that I moved best in groups, and I had found a decent one. Even though I was stuck to the outside of an Eleven that would have gladly traded my electronicity to the Nineteen that was following ever so closely. I knew I was better off moving than staying put on that monster.
What had my curiosity most piqued was the fact that this was not random movement, but linear. This is the only explanation for the approach and retreat of the One-Eight(+N)-One that I tracked earlier. While this movement of charge may appear infinitesimal to some, here, it is the maker of success. Failure, while not unknown, is not a viable option, and this was beginning to bother me. Not for the reason that I may be incorrect, but more for the reason that the unknowable has the potential for infinite retribution.
Scanning proved to be the preserver of sanity. I began to detect the tap patterns of something the size of a Twenty-Nine or a Thirty. To my delight, we had found friendly assistance in a time of need, and all that remains is to make contact. Course dead ahead, looking for the Landing Zone.

Migration
My gaggle of Elevens had some odd friends, in the form of a set of Seventeens that kept the Elevens in-line. This helped us slide amongst the few One-Eight-Ones that were interspersed and busy with the dormant mega-molecules that form the matrix of this nearly impenetrable object.
As much as I tried to influence the course of the Eleven in this bumper-fest of molecules, it just did not work. Locked into the pull of the Seventeen, the Eleven was unresponsive. I had far better luck with the pair of Sevens of long ago, but then again, they were not continuously caroming off of One-Eight-Ones and their slippery companions.
Getting this close to the One-Eight-Ones, I noticed that one of them had that extra Neutron thing making this particular molecule unique easy to locate on multiple scans. It also moved a little funny with the extra Neutron in there. At first, it was getting closer, and just after I discovered the odd nucleus, it passed and began retreating. Then I realized why I was having so much trouble. It was not the One-Eight-Ones that were passing us, we were passing them. The outer orbits were just a little bit off the norm, and this was moving the nucleus.

1 2 3 Go!
I kept tracking the Nineteen, in hopes that it respond to my desire and head in my direction. Instead, it wandered so far away that it fell below the noise of the Eights. I kept scanning for Nineteens and Twenties when I detected what I though might be some Twenties. Considering my current record versus entropy, I had my doubts.
My pessimism was not to be ignored. Turns out that is was not Twenties, but a whole gaggle of Elevens, and in quite a different configuration that what I had encountered in the waiting areas of the high speed pathways. This time, entropy was working to assist, and as much as I would have preferred the cozy snugness of a Nineteen or a Twenty, having several Elevens to choose from was more than enticing.
So, off from the monster I lept, and onto the good view and easy freedom of the nearest Eleven that floated within range. As the overall pull of the 876 Proton monster ebbed, I found myself wondering an odd thought; Could I have been truely happy on such a repetitive molecule?

Swamp
Explored the multi-ringed monster and counting up 876 Protons was easier than I thought. What is harder, is getting off this ride. I've managed to get out onto the odd branch, and out to the end, where the Eight-One and its neighbors are doing the repulsion thing. After a little spin-flip battle, I took-up residence orbiting the Eight and slipping around the One occasionally.
Being the first time I've had the opportunity to see an Eights up close, it appears that this one is a little bigger. While Neutrons are hard-er to count than Protons, you can do it if you get close enough. It seem that this particular eight is just a little odd, as there is one more Neutron down there than is common. If it is a problem, it might get interesting around here at any moment.
The view from the protruding One is much better. Even just that bonding distance is enough to clear the field so that I can scan the surrounding area, and perhaps find a friendly Eleven, Nineteen or Twenty. Considering that most everything I can discern is an Eight or smaller, something with twice the Protons of a Eight should be — Ding! — yes, within easy scanning distance.

# !!!!!!
I discovered the technique of counting doublings of charge as a way to cope with the massive numbers of Electrons that I found myself intermingling with on the large sheets of Fifties. It may not seem like a good way to count large numbers, but it does work.
Not long ago, there was a notation for my numerical talk-taps. If you look for that entry, you can apply it to this special message, since the title is in that notation. You will notice that there are no additional dots, and this is why this message is a special one. It is not always easy to hit the message slot, and it is understandably short.
I know that people have lots of ideas about Electrons, and other people have nary a clue as to the how or the why, of what it is to be an Electron, and how we function. But they sure do like what we do. This is that story, from how I see it. My world really is simple, and thanks for taking the time to leave yours for a little while and glimpse into mine, as it continues to unfold.

Tally
At a final count of ten complete rings of six-up Sixes, the odd ring in the middle with five Sixes and an Eight and, two Sixes for structure on each of the four identical dual-ring pairs, and three more structural Sixes on the oddball double-ring, I get a nice reason to use that new counting method that I discovered. Where I would say seventy-six Sixes, I can say 76-Sixes. I notice that it happens to be twelve Sixes more than six doublings. Yea, 76-Sixes. I can begin to like this.
The inner Six-ring on the double ring structures also has three Eight-One groups, except that the second ring attaches to the third Eight. For those that have been following, that totals 46-Eights. This comes from eight Eights per double-ring structure, two of which are structural, and the remaining six Eights that surround and modify the central ring.
Rounding out this menagerie are a total of 52-ones. If you follow he rule of four connections per Six and two connections per Eight, you can easily see where all the Ones fall. This comes to a grand total of 876 Protons in this entire structure, making it the largest thing that I have counted completely. In old counting, that is nine doublings, plus another eight doublings and another six doublings plus five more doublings and another twelve singles after that. 876 is just easier.

Fifth
At the end of the end-ring of the five double-ring branches are three sets of Eight-One combinations, attached to the three Sixes that are directly opposite the Six attached to by the structural Six. This lowly Six is bent by a double-attached Eight, and a single-attached Eight that bonds to the other ring. This makes an odd angle.
It's the triple of Eight-One combinations that catch my interest. With one side of the Eight attached to a Six in the ring, the solo Electron that belongs to the one on the opposite side of the eight, spends much more time on the eight, exposing the proton of the One for the world to see. This makes the outer Eight-One pairs push away from the central pair, creating a fan out, that is capable of attracting the negative side of loosely coupled atoms that can be found with an extra Electron.
Seventeens, Twenties, and oddly enough, the Eight-One has a strange affinity for One-Eight-Ones as a whole. Grabbing them until they get so anxious that they jump away from their brothers in flight acting like a pair of Sevens, the slippery devils that are the One-Eight-One demonstrate their notorious abilities.

Coincidence?
Adroit Sixes are a sight to behold. It is in their ring structure where the alternating double and single bonds create an amazing strength and the flexibility for each Six in the ring to acquire something else adds to the amazement. As observed, a single One can act as a very neutral placeholder on this ring, or an Eight can half-connect instead and then bond on to something else.
Within this monster, there are five double ring structures, each of which is virtually identical, with the exception that one of them has an extra Six, extending the connection chain. It appears that this allows the fifth Double-Ring to wiggle and sway in a way that the others can not.
I find a striking similarity between the atomic bond structure and properties of this monster and the long branch-points that people have on each of the shorter, yet closer to the network, extremities. The curiosity over the fact that this single monster of a molecule has a radial structure that is similar to a much much larger massive structure of billions of atoms, strikes me in a smattering of most interesting ways. Could it be that all of this is interrelated?

Enamour
I realize that I've made this monster somewhat simpler that it really is, but that's because I was looking at things from a very broad perspective. If there is any one trick that I can propagate, it is the ability to get a good look at the entire situation before delving into the details. This is one of the reasons that I just stay away from the ever-massive Seven-Six-Six-repeating-chains.
Looking at each of the five double-ring structures of this monster, It becomes apparent that this inner double ring of Eights really belongs to the attached sub-groups of atoms, rather than to the central core. This explains some of the oddball angles that I see, but likely has allot to do with the Sixes and the fact that they take up to four other atoms all equidistant on their sphere. That makes a very interesting shape.
Four points, four planes. Each plane a triangle, that is equilateral, and yet, a Six just does this without effort. It just happens with these things. Perhaps it has to do with the way we Electrons work, staying as far away as we can. To me, this seems natural, and yet, in the world of atoms, only the Six, so far, has such pristine symmetry and capability.

Flexible
If anything, I've achieved a higher respect for the power of an Eight and the flexibility of a Six. While the Eight can grab tightly onto a neighbor, it can only maintain two stable linkages. A Six, on the other hand, maintains up to four links, and can even make double links with other Sixes and even an Eight. Of course, this is all that the Eight can do, but it's not going anywhere.
This has been learned since I am able to easily flip my way around this monster. The presence of the Eights and their extra power, make it possible to move easily, since they tend to pull other Electrons in, making slight positive charges for me to zoom toward and carom off of.
With the exception of the odd-Eight in the central ring of Sixes, this structure looks like it is a ring of Sixes, surrounded by a double, but twisted, ring of Eights that amplify the odd connection angle of the Sixes.
Outside the double ring of Eights are five nearly identical double-ring structures, that are themselves linked through a weakly bonded Six-Eight link-up. While these links are weaker than the double variety, they are still very strong, and allow the rest of the structure to twist and rotate as needed.

Sticky
Yes, the Seven-Six-Six repeated chains are the largest single set of interconnected and linked atoms that I have observed, yet they remain quite indescribable. This is not due to the length, but the variability of what is suspended from the chain and the order in which it appears, makes a huge difference on the structure.
While not nearly as large and difficult to ride as the Seven-Six-Six chains, the One-Eight-Ones that still remain on this barren domain were caught in a state of entrancement. It appears that they are attracted to numerous Eight-One pairs, where the Eight has been latched onto by a Six. The Sixes themselves form a ring of sorts, as three pairs of Sixes.
There are ten of these ringed sets of Sixes, with an oddball eleventh ring at the center of five groups of two rings of Sixes. The center ring is odd for the fact that one of the Sixes has been replaced by an Eight, and the sixth Six is hanging off the fifth Six, up and away. With the exception of the Eight, the four remaining Sixes in the ring all have Eights-and-more hanging from them, and alternate between down and up angles, save for the last, next to the Eight, which is parallel with the central odd ring.

Dancing
Most of the One-Eight-Ones that I arrived with have been repelled by the chains of Sixes that are studded with Ones. The rings of six Sixes that I have encountered, also do their share to keep One-Eight-Ones from going deeply into the fibers that make up this non-pulsing object. This just looks like it should be an active construct, but alas, looking deep, I find no patterns that indicate the presence of a central network.
I've even found some structures that resemble working pathways, but the One-Eight-Ones that are needed along with all of the other odd atoms that I have seen, just are not there. It is, therefore, no small wonder that they are dormant. Inspecting one of them lead to another surprise. It stopped. Just. Plain. Stopped.
Funny thing was, that I found a whole cluster of One-Eight-Ones that appeared to be a little distorted, and more stationary than not. Such an odd grouping too. Approaching a bit closer, I began to notice that these One-Eight-Ones are not paired with a single Eleven or a Nineteen, as loose as such parings are, these One-Eight-Ones were surrounding something larger. Much larger.

Soak
Things did not stay spherical in formation for long. With no warning, my little ball of One-Eight-Ones merged with a more sheetlike form, and from the masked Proton pulls, I could tell that I was now in contact with something much larger. Moving from the tiny ball, that I somehow got trapped with, to something larger was a relief, of sorts.
I had managed to find a Nineteen that had room to spare, and I was waiting to see where I would end up, when things became a bit more stable. Nineteens have a good grip, and that impedes my view somewhat. It's a bit better from an Eleven, but sometimes it's catch as catch can.
The number of One-Eight-Ones nearby diminished, and long strands of familiar Seven-Six-Six-Seven-Six-Six began to loom up, as the One-Eight-Ones continued to diminish. Long chains of Sixes and some loops of Sixes, surrounded as usual, by Ones came into view once I began to ignore the ever present Seven-Six-Six chains. Funny thing is, as I would expect there to be some clusters of Elevens and transport pathways, there is no activity to home in on.

Drop
I got a real surprise today while traveling on the outer surface of my benefactor. I had zipped out of my hiding spot, after noticing and abnormal dip in photons, and getting kicked once by an unexpected blast from a plasma that was passing by just a little close. After arriving at the edge of one of the longer five-way branch points, I sat between an Eleven and its companion One-Eight-One, since the view is better from the midpoint rather than orbiting the Eleven.
This, would become a problem, since the companion One-Eight-One received company in the form of mass of One-Eight-Ones that simply wreaked havoc with my stable little observation post. Spinning wildly, looking to grab onto the Eleven, if I could find it. No doubt, it had a new fleet of companions, and was swapping freely amongst the deluge of One-Eight-Ones.
Lucky for me, there were enough things other than One-Eight-Ones, that movement was possible. A scan of the object revealed no trace of my benefactor. No chained Seven-Six-Six-Seven-Six-Six formations, just an outer layer of One-Eight-Ones that was mostly spherical.

Wane
It seems that we're past the peak of excitation, judging from the more relaxed state of the One-Eight-Ones that I find in the outer reaches of my kind host. While the cycle of activity and inactivty continues with the change in photon counts, it seems that the lower count period is becoming longer. What is odd is that I have not encountered a sheet of Fifties in many cycles.
This is not to say that there have not been massive numbers Electrons. When several dozen doublings of my buddies go rumbling by, I tend to take notice. It's hard not too, with the force that they exert, and the penchant that this person has for venturing toward these large events. With the experience that I've had with plasmas, it's not something that I particularly enjoy.
Regardless of my fears, it is interesting none the less. Getting pushed about while in my favorite network viewing spot, or forced to find the shelter of an Eleven or even a Nineteen as I scan the outer edges, the memories are vivd. I seem to recall such forces just before talking to Bob, keeping left then flowing down the conductor and crossing the Eighty-Two bridge.

Warming
I'd spent too much time working on patterns in the central network, and thought that it would be good to traverse the edge networks, and the outer surface. Two reasons. First, I might find something interesting that I've not seen before. Second, it's so simple and quiet out here.
My trips to the edge during high-activity sessions of the central network, change over the active period. It seems that during the time when the photon detectors are processing the greatest counts, there is a higher concentration of One-Eight-Ones, Elevens, Seventeens and the odd Nineteen. The One-Eight-Ones are also bigger. They span more space than they do when I check them during periods of non-activity, or just before shutdown.
Lately, the perturbed and more excited state has been more prevalent than not, and generally, it is not until there is a peculiar randomness to the central network impulses and patterns, that the shutdown occurs. In many cases, it is not until well into the shutdown phase that the excitation that the One-Eight-Ones demonstrate, fades back to the less energetic state that I remember from not too long ago.

Cortex
It may be true that the central network, at least each small part of it, is much slower than the electrons, like me, that drive it. This does not mean that I am able to outrun these networks, since it is clear that it is working continuously, throughout its volume. While this limits my observation, it helps with my understanding.
There are times when I can see pulses traveling in other areas, and then there is a great confluence of patterns, usually followed by some kind of activity. Even the activities of people are just more patterns, and some of these patterns appear to be produced by some of the pathways themselves, especially the patterns that help to propel people around their environment.
While I am somewhat able to direct myself, in many cases, I am forced to orbit some atom until the opportunity to exchange with an Electron in a better position. People do not seem to move and maneuver in orbits, or flip their spin to change their destination — they just go forward in whichever direction they choose to go — but we know that there have to be some boundaries...

GIGO?
Patterns within. Patterns without. Patterns of patterns is what people seem to be made of. It is of more than passing curiosity that the central network is nimble when it comes to recognizing patterns that are present in sound and in photons. When it comes to sound, the most interesting aspect is the decomposition that occurs, and the importance that is given to the to the rising and falling edges of the wave patterns that compose the easier sounds.
It is possible to mix a great many simple tones together into a complex pattern, and as such, the network can discern not only the original tones, but has a great appreciation and resonance with the results of these simple tones combining to create great peaks of energy and ebbing to the softness of a whisper.
It is also worth noting that a great range of sound can be produced, although of a single tone or wave, by People. Not to be hampered by this, their ability to take an input and reproduce it, sometimes poorly at first, and then refine it to match the original pattern, is uncanny. This is a trick that appears to be at the core of pattern building and pattern transfer and the whole concept of communication. And I though talk-taps were cool.

Counting
When I count small numbers, I just use a string of taps, like ... to talk about a Three, which I did see once, or three of something. For large numbers, I use a different tap, like !!! to mean that there are three Doublings, which would be ........ if I use regular taps. To get to some counts, like .........., I can tap out !!!.. instead, which takes less time.
People like to count too, but they do things differently. Using ten different taps, just one tap can mean anything from . to ......... and there is a special tap that makes . into a .......... when it comes afterward. Starting with the special tap, here are the shapes that the edge networks trace to represent the taps:

And of course, there are compression patterns for these tap symbols, so that people can communicate with numbers:
Zero One Two Three Four Five Six Seven Eight Nine
Getting beyond the One-Zero symbol, which has a totally different sound that I would expect, may take some time. Perhaps I can make use of this counting system. !!!. is a 9. Neat.

After watching the massive triple of intertwined chains of atoms move, and with each change of direction, observing a cascade of electrons jump off and head for the pathway back to the central network, I finally have a reasonable picture. From the time that I jumped onto the floating ball of Twenty-Nineties and Thirties, and crashed into the bent structure; to this place, and to the pattern that I see when I watch the compression relaxation network, it all now makes sense.
It also turns out that people have a word for this.
... and when there are more that one of these events, they add another Ess sound. The additional Ess sound at the end of some words has become a pattern, and I think that there are a few others that are important, especially in the way that people refer to themselves and others. This is handy when more than one person has the same name.

Trigger
Learning is not nearly as bad as it used to be, now that I am able to make some kind of sense as to what appears in the compression-relaxation centers. It is the other patterns that occur throughout the network that have helped to discover the symbols that are communicated. Of course, the large burst patterns still elude me, but there is satisfaction in recognizing the components.
I took a run down one of the smaller highways which delivers pulses from the compression-relaxation input sensors. Compared to the superhighway, it's quite short. As my spin-flip skills improve, it is nearly effortless to arrive at the bulbous structure that is teeming with waves of elections. Swimming up-stream may be difficult, but the view is superb.
Working hard to move between the onrush of wave fronts, I managed to slide toward the source of the electrons. Many pathways sent small groups that came together and formed cohesive waves at the bulbous structure. Persistence revealed that an odd protrusion composed of a three Seven-Six-Six-Seven-Six-Six that are intertwined, and replicated many times and likewise intertwined, was responsible for releasing these cascades of electrons.

Ben+Deb
This couple is as much of a pair as I am with another electron, and even more so. At times, these two people experience large areas of contact amongst the edge networks, and on rare occasions, there is a rhythmic pattern to the contact that results in explosive cascades within either of their central networks. While I have not had the chance to jump from one person to another during such a cascade, it has been seen on both networks.
I am starting to understand a little bit more about the one I call Deb. While it looked like there was a vast lack of organization, having spent more time in study, I see that the patters are much broader, and that the entire network seems to be involved in most all processing.
Ben, however, is highly organized and deliberate, with the main distinction that the big flashes and explosions that are similar to what Deb produces, are neatly kept to one side. As such, they do not wreak immediate havoc on the deliberate and and ordered patterns that run their course on the other side. Of course, during those intensive rhythmic contact sessions, order is nowhere to be found for a brief, and fleeting moment.

Pairing
The conversations continued for quite some time as those Six-Six-Eights and their entourage of Ones continued to circulate. At times, it became difficult to parse the patters that were propagating through the compression-relaxation zone in the network. Not so much because they were difficult, but because they would partially repeat now and again.
Beny, or Ben as others called him, was quite communicative, and had less difficulty with the process than some of the other people that I had the chance to observe. Perhaps this was due to the fact that Deb was nearby, and slowed the rate at which the Six-Six-Eight chains were entering the pulsed stream.
Again, quite a bit contact from Deb managed to distract my mentor, and it seemed that some of the ordered patterns on one side were becoming affected by the fact that the random and nonsensical patterns on the other side were increasing in intensity. It seemed that Deb had issued a strong request and the two remained paired together as the other people ceased communication and scattered, as if they really were Electrons.

Party
There were many more People gathered together. Unlike Electrons, they were not always as far apart as they could be from one another. Exchanging objects, and contacting the webbed portion of their long-branching points. It was difficult to get all of their names, as I was learning about their equivalent of pairing requests and how they engage in communication.
As tough as it was, I did manage to catch the names John and Tom, and another more difficult name that started with the Gee sound. The names are more familiar because more than one person used the same name. It was clear that the sounds were a little different on one occasion as I rode long observing the compression-relaxation systems. It seemed Beny had may people to communicate and make contact with, and that many called him Ben rather than Beny.
The pace settled down, and not so many objects were passed, but I could detect that there was a rising concentration of the Six-Six-Eight, surrounded by Six Ones, in the pulsed streams of mainly One-Eight-Ones that coursed throughout these most interesting things called People.

Pea Pull
Like talk-taps, it appears that these networks communicate with one another, and part of it is done through all of that compression-relaxation input and output that I've been so intrigued with of late. The one that I am observing is communicating with another, and the, like Bob, the other has a name. It begins with "Deb" and is longer than Bob, but I don't really need it all.
Oddly, at one point the communication stopped, and there was contact between the two at the edges, very close to the networks. As the contact occurred, I felt a tug and decided to check things out, grabbing a nearby Eleven to begin my ride. Yes, the two edges were pressed in contact. No real communication, or flow here, but it's quick enough to hop over and check this other network.
Whoa! Bang, Pop, Bang, Pop, Bang, Bang, this is Deb? This is so much different over here. Contact ceased, folowed by small output of "Beny!" before contact resumed in the same region. Seeing the chance, back over I headed. I just hope contact stays long enough to get across.

Parse
I greatly appreciate the fact that this network is as ordered as it is. While the structure of this and the other networks are basically the same, the patterns are much easier to detect and observe in this network. Especially helpful, is when patterns repeat, like the following output and input that I have seen many times on the compression-relaxation network zones.
While that exact sequence is often repeated a few times in a row, it is becoming easier to discern the fact that many other sequences also repeat occasionally, and for the most part, it is these patterns are the basis for a great deal of the activity in these externally linked areas. What is most interesting is that some of these patterns appear on the input side, with no corresponding, and early output.

Backstroke
After inspecting the sea of locked Sixes, I decided to float on the sheet of Seventy-Nines. Eerily familiar, I flipped my way through the Eight-Fourteen-Eight structure that now looked flimsy compared to the Sixes. Once again, I found myself on an interior sheet of Seventy-Nines, but this time, there were very few One-Eight-Ones in contact with the small sheet.
Without the One-Eight-Ones, there would be no Elevens nearby, so I had no choice but to flip back from whence I came. It was re-assuring locate the edge of the massive structure of mainly One-Eight-Ones and their intertwining sequences of Seven-Six-Six-Seven-Six-Six. I began to fiddle with the Elevens that were being left behind on the Seventy-Nine sheet.
It was during a back-flip orbit of a nearby Eleven that I got yanked into another network based contact. Once again, seeking the pathways that would lead me to the central network had become a standard procedure, almost as easy as pairing up in a p-shell. I was both pleased and disappointed at the same time. I had somehow found my way back to the original central network, but the thrill of newness was gone.

There is no way that this is the same central network. The pulses do not have the same kinds of shape as the other network, but the motion of the patterns is very similar, and there are photon detectors that feed this network as well, and they are functioning correctly, but the pulses are different, and they seem to go dark more often that I am accustomed to.
Making a quick circuit of key edge networks, I once again find four long branches, each of which branches again near the end, with long and short branch groups, as before. On the long branches near the end, I've managed to locate a familiar sheet of Seventy-Nines, in addition to a most interesting hoop of manly Seventy-Nines surrounding one of the smaller branches.
While traversing the hoop, and playing in the Seventy-Nines, I discovered four points of contact where the Seventy-Nines were in close contact with an impenetrable lattice of Sixes. Nothing but Sixes, as far as I can sense, and they are all locked together in a most peculiar and frozen way. While I find this very interesting, it seems to be rather boring due to the sameness of it all.
