It just occurred to me, what if the HF is actually getting a kind of degenerate
triangle happening when the parts close in so much. I picture it like this: a
peak (or trough) is basically a polygon of triangles which would come very
closely folded together like if you were to stretch a pyramid very far upward
until near the point the surfaces are almost touching. The problem with that
theory is why would the whole triangle collapse into another if the base is
still at an acceptable width. Changing only the height shouldn't change the
bases, unless they were somehow moved inward upon themselves.
Anyone else follow that line of reasoning? Just my idea on it, I don't know the
true structure of a HF.
