That's what I always figured. It had to be either that, or a true five-pointed-star pattern with five brainlets caucusing. If scientists are observing the arms communicating with each other aside from the brain, then that points toward a hub-spoke-ring.

I hadn't known that part. Cool. It means you can use octopus biomimicry to improve computer systems. Now I wish I could build an octobot and see how long it takes to learn how to open jars.
