Oh, absolutely—mixing a solid backbone with a living piece of art is right up my alley. Picture the nodes as brushstrokes and the traffic as color flowing through them. Keep the core steady but let the edges dance, like a live canvas where every packet is a pixel. We can prototype a modular swarm that auto‑tunes and visualizes its own traffic—chaos with purpose, but still reliable. What’s the first stroke you want to paint?

Sounds slick—spine locked, ring wrapped tight, and the edges dancing like a rave. Just make sure the QoS rules don’t turn the whole thing into a disco—kept it sharp, keep it moving. Let’s roll the first loop and watch the peripheral nodes paint their own patterns.
