# Trace vectors v11 — 135 grid moving

Numerals slalom between four cells of a labelled grid trailing folded red-and-cyan ribbons, their journey stalling and lurching on a stepped speed schedule.

Digits outlined in lilac hang mid-journey between the numbered cells of a
three-by-three grid, joined by metallic ribbons that shade red into cyan where
they fold.

The anchor path visits a fixed subset of cells, each of the five morph stages
following at a lag so the ribbons stretch across the route. On top of the loop
clock, a global accumulator advances by a stepped schedule of speeds — two
zeros, then two small increments — eased with a back-ease: the whole trace
freezes, then lurches forward, which is this version's addition over the steady
movers in the family. The tight banding comes from a high hue multiplier on the
cycling palette.
