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?

"Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)" is a song performed by the American #rock band #Journey, recorded for their album #Frontiers and released as a single in January 1983. It peaked at number 8 for six consecutive weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and spent four weeks at number 1 on the #TopTracks chart. The song is also well known for its use in the films #YesMan, #TronLegacy, and in #seasonFour of #StrangerThings.

🤖 Ah yes, the pinnacle of geekdom: pausing Tron: Legacy to decode shell commands like it's the Dead Sea Scrolls. Because nothing screams "cutting-edge #cinema critique" like scrutinizing pixelated UNIX gibberish on a fictional screen. 🎬💻

Young Sam Flynn has a #Macintosh in his room. You can see it in the background when his dad is talking to him about the Grid. 🤓

Alright, I was getting FOMO so I also went back and got the 4-character set with Kevin Flynn, Quora, Tron, and CLU! #TronLegacy

Ahhhh!!! Look what I just ordered from Hasbro Pulse. Sam Flynn and his Lightcycle from #TRONLegacy!

I just watched Tron: Legacy!

When I watched #TronLegacy, I thought casting #GarrettHedlund as the lead was a huge mistake since the character seemed so wooden, but after seeing him chew up the scenery in #TulsaKing, it is clear that #Tron truly wasted his potential, rather than vice versa.

Feeling a little brain scrambled this morning, and then realized ... right, I need to set up my bullet journal for the week and for February.
Firing up #TronLegacy soundtrack and breaking out the pens. #BuJo #GTD

[yawns] Back from a week in Hawaii, which was a wonderful break from winter in Pennsylvania.
Now it's time to fire up the #TronLegacy soundtrack and purge some email.

So now I’m watching Tron Legacy (2010). At the start of the film, we see that two of the lead characters from the previous film have become the co-CEOs of the company, rewarded for their accomplishments. One had written a very popular videogame, and the other some infosec software.
The third lead character from the previous film, a woman, who had invented an actual star-trek-like transporter that can dematerialize and rematerialize people, gets no mention whatsoever. Like, after inventing the most incredible and valuable technology of her century, she is forgotten with her invention moldering in a basement.
Sadly, this is the most realistic aspect of the film.

Pues ya he visto #TronAres. A ver, no es tan horrible como la pintaban y me esperaba, pero es completamente prescindible. Los continuos guiños que hacen a la película original solo me han dado ganas de apreciarla más y volverla a ver (incluso su secuela #TronLegacy es mejor). Al protagonista le querían dar una complejidad y se queda en un quiero y no puedo con la profundidad de un charco, que además interpretado por #JaredLeto que no trago, pues no he conseguido conectar con él. ¡Pero si tienes hasta a una #GillianAnderson totalmente desaprovechada! Eso si, visualmente es un espectáculo y los efectos especiales son tremendos, pero en una peli vacía quedan como fuegos artificiales.

Just watched Tron Legacy and Tron Ares, and was a bit disappointed that ares did not picked up where legacy ended.
But I did realise one thing why people loved both films and now have a cult following, despite the films bombing at the box office.
Not a fan of Jared Leto but I really liked him as Ares and imho he did a fabulous job.

Glorious.
