Does the silkscreen pattern under the 1PDT have any mechanical meaning (traces etc below it)?

I know it's a dumb question, but I'm setting up to route a 1P8T for the first time, and noticed that the footprint used on PedalPCB boards has this intricate (read satanic) silkscreen pattern under it, is this just for illustrative purposes or does it reference any kind of required (or otherwise) tracing that is happening under the screen?

Did you not ever take a road trip as a kid before the year 2000?

It's just a pattern, no hidden meaning or purpose whatsoever.

It's a maze/puzzle. Object is to draw a line from the outside to the middle without going over a line. Nothing religious nor anti-religious about it.

Sure did but I grew up in Africa, so we were too busy navigating through a whole bunch of... other problems

Ah, so it's not an internal series of intricate pulleys and levers that attach different traces to each other (cue stone scraping sound effects) whenever the user turns the Master Dial.

Honestly, no I did not realize you were joking. I took the post at face value and answered accordingly.

After reading and re-reading your post I see nothing that indicates humor, satire nor sarcasm. Please be so kind as to point out what I'm missing so I don't repeat this horrendous mistake.
