λ = 632.8 nm · helium–neon · plate № 09 · 04:17 a.m.

Each fragment of this page contains a recognisable image of the whole, in the same way that every shard of a holographic plate, when illuminated, reproduces the complete scene from a slightly displaced angle. Move your cursor across the honeycomb. The cursor is the reconstruction beam.
