That part matters. The pipeline is effectively asking:
`before the field starts wiggling, which lattice already looks least stupid?`
`before the field starts wiggling, which lattice already looks most plausible?`
### Metaphor
This is the survey crew laying down the ruler and arguing about where the graph paper should go.
If the user pinned the lattice, the argument is over. If not, the crew drags the ruler around, squints at a bunch of possible alignments, and picks the one that seems least embarrassing before the real workers show up.

- If the halo feels like one calm slab of paint, good.

- If neighboring workers want to drift together across a smooth region, fine.
- If they try to dogpile into the same footprint, the foreman throws a brick at them.
- If they all try to collapse into the same footprint, the constraint pushes them apart.

Adam is the part of the crew that says, "fine, slide a little left, slide a little down."

Projection is the guide rail saying:
- you two still need to stay in order
- nobody gets to leave the mural
- nobody stretches farther than the leash allows
Without that bouncer, the field would absolutely find a way to ooze into a puddle.
Without that guide rail, the field would drift into invalid configurations.
