Circling Outward

I kept rolling and mini-hopping from one attraction zone to the next, making a partial left turn at each secured 5-ring. Things were beginning to look very much the same, mainly because they were. Locked in place, the 5-rings provided the stress and wiggle necessary to keep the soup flowing from the pulsed network and into the zones between the meshworks.

Moving ahead and pushing the horizon, I found that I was able to scan off the edge from time to time while between active zones. The One-Eight-Ones of the soup were floating in an agitated pattern above and around me as I continued to ply the boundary between the soup and the meshwork. It was purely by accident that I noticed the whorls.

While tracking the motion of One-Eight-Ones is fairly random, the pulses from the network create channels of motion. In some cases, they just pulse outward into diffused randomness. In this case, near the horizon, each pulse produced two upward streams that diverged. Each stream curved back upon itself in a tightening spiral, leaving the wedge zone between the streams undisturbed, relatively.
