Another observation re: data.

If you look at the first 17 bits of the inner track top color (l->r) against the first 17 bits of the outer track top color in same direction, they are identical. I know you'd expect repeats even in random data but 17 bits in a row starting right on the boundary? Odds are 1 in 131072 that'd happen?

inside colors
"000101010010110110", // outside track top, left to right

outside colors
"0001010100101101110010110000", // inside track top, left to right

+ 17 leaves

please bear in mind that it does not have to be 17 intended matching digits. It as well may be that the intended number is 16 and the last one is coincidental.

Also, I was thinking that the two streams do not necessarliy have to be equal, they may be complementary (in the sense, that 0/1 is switched in the other stream, the substitution of color with 1 or 0 is arbitrary after all - at that point, at least) suggesting the double helix (in line with CompNeuro's way of thinking). Maybe the top left corner is the beginning of the folded two flame high, 76 flame long double sequence.
