The monomolecular fibers for the master magnet must be annealed in a microgravity environment, to form stable superconducting cores inside stable insulating sheaths.

Points where the magnets pulled alike in all directions defined a human border, the pattern cast by this equilibrium offeree tracing out the faintest suggestion of a shape, of being perhaps, and the invisible orders ranged in trackless silence beyond.
