The network equations of paper 40 are refined and their properties studied for the case of a non-random one-dimensional shape space. The clones of the system are ordered such that neighboring clones have the greatest similarity and clones that have the greatest separation have the greatest complementarity. A remarkable finding in this system is a tendancy for complementary pairs of clones to have parallel dynamics. It is also shown that the dynamics of such N-dimensional systems can be represented in a plane using distance coefficients, as defined in paper 50.
