A six-layer homogeneous field, or H6, is an incredibly intricate arrangement of 364 fields, 366 links on 124 portals, with a uniform six layers throughout the whole area.

Homogeneous Fielding Videos
Here’s my video series on Homogeneous Fielding:
Part 1 explains what a homogeneous field is:
Part 2 explains a method for building a homogeneous field – how to choose your link order, for example:
Part 3 talks about a successful six-layer Homogeneous Fielding operation, and what we learned from it:
The power to make crossed links in Ingress opens up a new world of possibilities for Homogeneous fielding. I’ve got two videos on this topic.
Part 1 looks at some basic homogeneous fields – essentially, ways to split a single triangle on more than one of the portals it covers:
Part 2 shows how to use those basic building blocks to make incredibly complex fielding plans, such as a seven-layer field, or a “pure” six layer field with no spare portals:
And that’s all for now!
Ops City Kitty
It was time for another cross-faction, cross-linking operation, this time with homogeneous fields, but most of all, it was time for an Ingress get-together!
A plan was put together – picture of a kitten spanning the city. The plan involving two four-layer homogeneous fields for the ears. Made the usual way, these would require sixteen portals each, but by making a triple crossed link, that number was brought down to six!
At 2pm on Sunday 17 February, eight agents converged on the rendezvous point in Northbridge, Western Australia. The operation began with clearing, and farming whatever keys were still needed for the anchors of the ears of the cat.
To make the blue ear, five Resistance agents attempted an ambitious five simultaneous crossed links. On the very first attempt, three links went through, enough to make the four layers shown!
Four resistance agents then made a field covering the three portals near the middle, and then threw back-links to complete four layers of fields on six portals!
While this was happening, two of the Resistance agents went to support the Enlightened as they made their own triple crossed link and homogeneous field. Their triple crossed link succeeded on the second try!
Then, it was quick work to complete the rest of the City Kitty, and convene to a local watering hole for refreshment and celebration.
Congratulations agents 57Cell, BobKeever, CarelessComms, LittleKehua, octarine, OrangeKeeper, scyrma, thestarfigment, and a special thanks to nzcoops who suggested the name for the op!
The crossed links in City Kitty’s ears show up beautifully in Ingress Prime:
