Not quite sure why that is happening- something is wrong with the migration rule
that makes the agents bypass the closer areas for the ones further away - a
general "move right" pattern happens, but the outer edge on the left side isn't
stoping the agents from advancing to the right side despite the fact that their
vision is not high enough to see the pattern image.
