Thats an interesting take. I think of it kind of like water running downhill in many rivulets. The trend looks obvious from a distance, but up close there are lots of little bumps and turns.
Beware the firefly nest in the telescope!
Fabulous movie! (Blade Runner) :-)
I was at the world science fiction convention that was held just prior to the release of that movie. They had his police car from the movie on display. Unfortunately, since the movie had not been released yet, we were not allowed to take pictures.
