Blue walls in the middle of series of 5-tuples

The figure below is complementary to the one in the post mentioned. To show how blue walls operate, the segments in the middle are colored. In this compact version, blue walls are vertical, but, unlike rosa walls, are in fact "oblique".
Each other colored number is the root of a partial tree that involves many isolation mechanisms. They follow a regular pattern, the color at the bottom depending on the segment on the left: green with yellow, rosa with blue.
This gives an idea of how distant the two parts of the 5-tuples (and odd triplets) on the sides are.
