Why are there two pentagons in the otherwise hex-tiled American continents displayed in TRON: Legacy’s Rectifier Globe computer graphics?
I was watching the TRON: Legacy 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray remaster (only my second time watching the 4K remaster) in the background earlier today when I sensed something “off” in the land mass tiling of the rotating globe graphic.
I paused the video and after less than a minute of scrutinizing the dark globe with orange outlined hexagon tiling, spotted a single pentagon (among the hexagons) inside the 2d projections of the American continents. See if you can spot it.
After writing the first draft of this post, I double-checked the graphic and found one more pentagon!

The first pentagon I spotted is in the northwest quadrant of South America, and clearly visible at time index 1:38:03. The second pentagon is near Alaska. Now I can't unsee either. How did only two pentagons make it in there? Seems unlikely to be an accident or rendering bug. The only thing I can think of is the designer/artist(s) that created the graphic animation placed the two pentagons deliberately. But why?
GMUNK Studio’s post about the Rectifier Globe (https://gmunk.com/TRON-Rectifier-Globe) doesn’t mention the pentagons.
Yes, I know the math/geometry about how you can’t tile a sphere with only hexagons, that several pentagons are necessary at various points on a sphere to stitch together the hexagons. This is just two small pentagons, not several, and the Rectifier Globe only has/uses hex-tiling for the land masses, not the entire sphere. Nor is the hex-tiling “perfect” by any measure. The hexagonal edges of the continents don’t match-up with hex-tiling much (most?) of the way around the coasts of the continents either, so it can’t have been to fix that.
Are those two pentagons merely imperfections (necessary or accidental)? Or an Easter-egg or secret reference of sorts from the graphic artist(s)?
I searched the web and could not find any answers or even mentions of these two pentagons in this graphic. Did anyone notice them previously?

I think it was Pennywise at Centrale Bergum with Yaldabaoth...
Pennywise made me a Dancing Clown prinses; Yaldabaoth made me a prisoner of poverty...

Did Yaldabaoth himself just take a helicopter flight from Epona centrale Bergum to my Kingdom of Muspelheim to have himself a Roken es Doduluk???

Maybe I did quote Lord of the Rings.... but the hint was I am straight from Lord of the Rings.
The way is shut, only the true heir of Isildur may enter.. 🤭

made a #design from #hexagons in #b3d #blender3D
this time not with motion in mind but sooner or later a spraycan and a wall :)
maybe I should put up the version on the wall that is 30 degrees rotated and very unbalanced just because...
since this is the 3d sketch for a painting it might as well fit for #wipWednesday -

Today i turned a map into a hexagonal dipyramid.... It's held together by hope and a deep breath mostly, but I'm hoping the result will be good.
For an exhibition about architecture and landscape.

@vaviurka scored a small Civ5 map made from thick cast aluminium.
Apparently it can also be used to make Koldunai. If you're confused now, look at the pictures here to see how that works: https://www.lamaistas.lt/straipsnis/naminiai-koldunai-per-pusvalandi-parodysime-kaip-44728
