“Seed 3” and “Seed 48” are not ley lines. The term “seed” comes from numerical optimization methods. When exploring rotations and alignments of the E8 structure on the sphere, I initialize the search with different seeds to ensure the results are not dependent on a single starting condition. Each seed can converge to a different local optimum. As a result, each one has its own latitude, longitude, and bearing parameters defining a specific grid orientation.
So “Seed 3” and “Seed 48” are simply identifiers for specific geometric configurations discovered during the search.
A helpful analogy is to think of a crystal: the internal structure remains the same, but when you rotate it, different faces catch the light. The geometry does not change; only the orientation does. The seeds represent different rotational views of the same underlying lattice.
