OR161 / Ordinal

Branch bends corner before, bends corner after

---

In a Tree Connector with multiple Branches, each Branch is sequenced to establish adjacency. It must be possible, given a single Branch to move in either direction and find the adjacent Branch which must be oriented at a right angle. Starting from a Branch that originates at some Anchored Tree Stem, attached collinear or at a right angle, the Branch either terminates the Tree Connector at some other Tree Stem (anchored or floating) or it terminates at a corner which bends to form an adjacent Branch. This sequence continues until the final Branch terminates.

This ordering is important because it defines where the corner is located between two adjacent Branches.
