Characteristics needed
Robust (nearly independent of magnetic polarity, geometry, location on sun, etc.)
Fine-grained (no evidence of clumps)
Non-turbulent (wrong spectrum)
Non-equilibrium statistical mechanics (it still transports heat the wrong way.)
What we need is a mechanism so fine-grained that it escapes observation, yet so macroscopic that it does not rely on fickle micro/meso-scale physics.
