    A physics clue came to me while I was semi-asleep.

    It is "caustic quilt", so a mesh that is like quilt
    stitching and is formed from caustics, or possibly
    characteristic curves.

    I just wanted to note it on these groups for the
    record; perhaps someone else will make something
    more of it before I do.

    For those not familiar with caustics, one simple
    example is the apple-like curve that can be seen
    when light shines in on an angle into a cup of tea.

    I will add it to past clues that may help me and
    collaborators develop an interstellar drive.
