Approximate rendering. Section 3.2.10: the texture of figures 29/30 becomes an ornament when ELIRR is reloaded with JS1 and JS5 at every call (ELPER). The walks are congruent; overlapping frames make the repeat. T = 0 stays axis-parallel. Sheet in plotter pose (+Y up) so the six chimneys sit on top as in the scan; 6 × 8 cells. The plate is a closed rectangle — side and bottom overhangs are cropped, the chimneys are the top edge. The listing says SERIE(20,20,8,6) — the 90° button turns to the texture pose.
