The image consists of three main parts arranged horizontally. On the left, a square patterned tile is labeled “Unit-1 P B C”, showing a single unit with a symmetric curved-line pattern. An arrow points from this unit toward its upper right, labeled “E superscript e f f”, indicating an effective value derived from surrounding units. In the center, a large square grid displays an arrangement matrix filled with numbers from 1 to 5. The grid is evenly divided into ten rows and ten columns. Three subregions are outlined in red squares, each enclosing a small block of cells: columns 2 to 4 of rows 2 to 4; columns 7 to 9 of rows 3 to 5; and columns 3 to 5 of rows 6 to 8. Within each red-outlined block, one central cell is shaded light green and contains the value “1”, indicating the focal unit. The surrounding cells within and around these blocks contain other numeric values from 2 to 5. On the right, three enlarged schematic diagrams correspond to selected highlighted cells from the matrix. Each schematic shows a central square labeled “1”, surrounded on all four sides and corners by numbers representing neighboring cells. Arrows point inward from the surrounding numbers toward the central “1”, illustrating how neighboring values contribute to an effective quantity. Each schematic is labeled with a different effective value name: “E superscript e f f-1”, “E superscript e f f-3”, and “E superscript e f f-2”. Dashed arrows connect specific highlighted cells in the central matrix to their corresponding schematic on the right. The row-wise numbers from the corresponding subregions are as follows: E superscript e f f-1, row 1: 2, 5, 4; row 2: 4, 1, 3; row 3: 2, 3, 4. E superscript e f f-3, row 1: 3, 2, 5; row 2: 2, 1, 4; row 3: 5, 4, 2. E superscript e f f-2, row 1: 5, 2, 3; row 2: 2, 1, 5; row 3: 5, 2, 3.Illustration of the neighborhood influence on the unit cell. A target unit cell (shaded) is embedded in several distinct neighboring layouts composed of the same five canonical unit types, but arranged in different spatial patterns
