abyssunder Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 It might be close to this: picture from here " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.

abyssunder Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 If that is what I'm thinking of, it might be related to the counter septarian structures. " In a less spectacular version of such counter septarian structures, the tangential cracks did not propagate spirally. Instead they formed a round knob in the center of each first-order polygon, thus mimicking the nuclei in a cellular tissue (Fig. 15 (d)). This suggests that the defoliating cracks started from the polygonal cracks of the previous order and propagated towards the center of the enclosed area. " - see page 5 of this topic. 1 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.
