I found my leaky triangle again. When there are 3 balanced
   particles - and it really doesn't matter *which* particles they
   are - and they peel it away, they find another trio 22.7 times
   smaller than that. and if they peel that layer away, there's
   ANOTHER trio 22.7 times smaller than THAT. It's a Scaling
   factor.

   The triangle is the trio. The leak? The factor of 22.7 that
   links one leaky triangle to another. I know I'll find more of
   these here and there.
