Yes. Sounds like we're well into Deep Fundamental Truth territory! (assuming your implementation of the algorithm is sound)

Frankly, given that you have to link all 42 members of a set uniquely to members of the next, I'm surprised it works at all when you've got to do that 7 times.

If you go at the algorithm from the other direction. Is it possible to get touches of plain methods with the correct distributions of (123)? (which presumably must be unable to line up with a Helixoid). In other words, is the Deep Fundamental Truth purely in the construction of the plain methods, or is it in how they relate to the Helixoids?
