A bioluminescent siphonophore: one glowing strand closed into a precessing three-lobed clover around a nucleus that never changes, beaded with twenty-four lanterns that each change species on their own schedule. Each lantern is one anisotropic bead under seven interpolated numbers, so it morphs by deforming, not cross-fading, through four forms: spore bulb, haloed plankton, trailing comet, radial needle. Bass widens the clover, mid scallops it, treble hones every core. Rests as the plankton.
