^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.^
