Fast Flip

I had thought that the phase information from four vibrational frequency sources might provide the beacon that I could use to identify these tagged rings with three Sevens. When analyzing the pattern, I discovered two sources that alternate with each other. A third source was going at half rate, and synchronized with the first two. The fourth source was more interesting, but at a lower amplitude, since it was out at the end of the tail and damped by a pair of Ones.

With Seven-Six bonds located in every direction imaginable, the background noise level was responsible for obscuring all but the closest of tagged rings. The Seven=Six-Seven-One side of the ring was responsible for a stable waveform with constant phase. Any phase shift was the result in a change in orientation or rotation of the molecule.

Then I got blasted. If I were to believe my readings, either I or the ring had flipped over, nearly instantly. In the process, a pulse of high magnitude emanated from the scanning area. The frequency of the pulse was half my scanning frequency, making the actual amplitude much higher than I recorded. Focusing on the background pattern once again, it was clear that my orientation had not changed. The tail on the ring was in the same place, but the Seven One had moved. It was now a One-Seven-Six=Seven combination, and that explained the apparent instant rotation.
