just sense the wdb2t gradient, and 'go the other way'.

the only 'difficulty' is that folks 'deceive' each other by doing work to
create artificial gradients within the one wdb2t gradient. this 'difficulty'
isn't insurmountable, however. an organism need only range widely enough to
detect departures from the one 'map' that is wdb2t.

it's quite awesomely-beautiful and capable.
