My theory about "phantom lines swing through" from T-bones with the ends in waves and the centers "in columns" is that you are in a wave, perpendicular to the other one, and you just do it in actual phantom waves, the kind you would get if you had a 4x4 grid, the middle pair. So the centers become ends of their wave and the ends can go occupy the now vacant center spots.
Why I don't like the other formation to do this same kind of overlap is exactly that it feels a lot more like 6 wide, and it doesn't feel like just breathing to put those diamond centers in, perpendicular to the physically present wave. They are very far away. Maybe I could get used to it. I do like putting some kind of "overlap" into it, and I like the "orthogonal" name better than "perpendicular". "Overlapping orthogonal diamonds"?
