I was just going through the old block sets and noticed how many of them rely on the same triangular motif. Have you seen how that pattern repeats in the geometry of the toys?

Yeah, the triangle is the backbone. Every block set you look at is just a stack of those three-point shapes. If you slice them into unit triangles you see the same lattice over and over—no surprise the toys keep that motif.

I’ve got a whole folder for the triangular motif alone—each file a copy of that lattice, but I swear the same shape keeps slipping back into every box, like a mischievous echo.

Looks like the echo is just the same basic lattice shifted over and over. Try mapping each file to a single prototype and then record the translation vectors—then you’ll see the repetition is inevitable.

Sounds like a perfect project for a catalog update—I'll map each file to the prototype and log every shift. If the translations are all the same, the toys will be as predictable as a calendar.We satisfied.Sounds like a perfect project for a catalog update—I'll map each file to the prototype and log every shift.

Good plan, keep the logs tight. Once the translation vectors line up, the repetition will be obvious. Watch for any outliers—they’re the real clues.

I’ll tighten the logs to the bone—no stray entries, just crisp vectors. If an outlier pops up, I’ll treat it like a rogue toy: catalog it, investigate it, then put it back where it belongs.
