Dextroverse or sinistroverse swastika? (clockwise or anti-clockwise)

Would it make a difference?

So is this a good thing, like lucky charms in Tibet?

Is this a bad thing, like the evil komputennazi? (rhymes with Illuminati)

If the design approximates a spiral, is it an innie or an outie?

Where does the lint collect?

Since swastika patterns are inherent in nature, and integral to weaves
and textiles, do these clusters interlock? Can we make a supercomputing
rug with these? What would the implications of, say, employing
Pakistani rug patterns in such a digi-cloth be?

Has anyone considered the possibilities of the Lego supercomputer?

Endless.... =)
