Infrastructure that gets out of the way
A worked example — your pattern, sitting behind real page furniture.

Semicircular arcs, with each row offset by half an arc and spaced exactly one radius apart. That spacing is what makes it scales rather than rows of humps: every arc rises precisely to the chord of the row above it, so the two overlap instead of merely sitting near each other. Flattening the curve turns the same arrangement from fish scales toward roof tiles.
