I began to lock on to the central Six in the single Seven-Six-Six chain. The pair of Ones nestled tightly with the Six, and their vibration patters did not shift much, making it possible to pick up and track either flavor. Floating free in the soup, the Eight end was repulsive while the third One on the Seven end made things highly attractive and compatible with the soup.

Scanning a nearby meshwork for the original version, I zeroed in and scanned in detail, starting with the central Six. When slotted in the mesh, the One on the Seven that was closest to an Eight would hop over to the Eight, relieving the strain on the Seven-Six-Six chain.

I had found the original version slotted in, and it was in the process of springing back that I caught the noise pips as each One shifted its connection from the Seven to the Eight. In this mode, the free frequencies and harmonics were quite visible and expected. It also had a neutral charge arrangement, making it compatible with the meshwork and keeping the soup at bay. It was the fundamental shift, and the associated harmonic changes, that effectively made this smallest of chains pop in and out of my scan.
