Balance trajectories
on the p-shell
Each representable n places its most balanced decomposition (largest part minimal) on the unit shell. Gold = the equal-parts pole. The white segment from gold to the point shows how far balance is displaced. Lines join consecutive n — the balanced point wandering, then yanked to the corner at records.
