go back to the
to analyze the results and plan new detonations
before it could continue detonating bombs and therefore the detonations occurred in

Insight II This insight was the discovery that the spatio-temporal clusters of
Insight I, being the U.S.S.R. and U.S.A. clusters, appeared in an alternating fashion,
i.e., the U.S.S.R. and U.S.A. took turns at performing batteries of detonations. This
insight is dissected in Fig.

. The basic relations that this insight builds upon are
spatial and temporal distance and, additionally, temporal topology. The analyst
noticed a specific before/after pattern among the clusters, so that before a
