Bit of back story on this: It's one of the things that came out after getting back into using LS in a more ritualistic sense. This arrangement was the first. Scattered about is:
ELLIS (obviously)
and 636.
636 is obviously an anagram/variant of 663 - it's the English gematria for "network." The spider web chaosphere has also been used to symbolize the ellis network in the past.
So, this thing is used to draw out/throw in very specific things or energies into the network during ritual. To work with it, it has to be unlocked, and there's a secret symbol inside of it in order to do that.
Start at "E" and draw a line to an "L", "L", so on, to spell out ELLIS. Then continue the line to a "6", "3", "6". This makes a symbol.
I've already tried this with a variety of other configurations just to see what shapes come out. So far, this is the only one that makes a specific symmetrical sigil when draw out right. In ritual, I've been drawing this in the air over top of it, starting with "E" and ending with "6" as a ritual action to open a vortex for the network.

It was the result of an Ellis ritual, an automatic drawing while in trance. The scattered placement "felt right" at the time. Later, when drawing lines starting with "E" (to make Ellis) and ending on "6", (to make 636, the number for Network in gematria) one configuration (depending on which L and 6 you go to) ended up being symmetrical (the one I posted), whereas all the others were asymmetrical and disjointed. Out of curiosity I switched the letters/numbers around for a few other attempts, again drawing a line starting with E and making "Ellis" then "636", and I haven't ended up with a symmetrical sigil with those other configurations yet. The symmetrical sigil was said to be a key to the network.
So, without the letters/numbers being in this first weird configuration, it seems the symmetrical sigil is just about impossible to chart out. Just one of those weird magicky-things that popped up.

This next bit contains some spoken calls that are more ceremonial in origin. After not doing anything of the sort for so long, this has actually been very refreshing. Since this will always be free-form, feel free to alter it. If your someone who doesn't care to use any callings whatsoever, the visualizations will be enough, or a simple "directing" of your intent.
The next activity I'll be doing in my exploration of Ellis ritual and sorcery is sparking up a few Lesser & Greater Ellisian Generators.
This isn't an entirely new concept, with a few of them having been set up during the old MU days by other Marauders, though my method here may be a little different. This is just the one that's made the most sense to me (or non-sense), and sense to my magickal style of thinking; entirely practical and intent-driven.
The Intent: When one of these is set up and switched on, the entire area inside the parameters warps to become more magickal, more allowing, more fantastic. This is the equivalent of making a certain location "haunted", not with ghosts, but with magick. The strange and fantastic is given more of a chance to manifest within these areas. In that sense, it's a sort of reverse-banishing; encouraging strange energies rather than sweeping them out. The entirety of the Network may be said to do this, though in a more haphazard and scattered way. Setting up a Generator focuses on a specific area in space-time contained by a number of points to make a shape over an area, with a central point serving as the vortex.
For this central vortex point, I'll be using the Network Key sigil that was attained through the automatic drawing/spider web chaosphere. The points surrounding it that make up the shape will be the LS drawn on rocks. Because I'm currently in a rural setting, these rocks will likely not be moved or noticed by people (I'll also be using areas of forest, parks, and etc. first off.) For those in more urban settings, hiding a series of tags around an area in order to make a SQUARE or TRIANGLE will suffice. I would recommend trying to make the shape more concise and less obtuse/haphazard, as this sort of sacred geometry concept might account for something. It also requires you to work harder for it, and there's nothing wrong with that!
I'll be considering two types of Generators here, Lesser & Greater.
LESSER: This only means a smaller area is utilized. A single room, a house, yard, a street, field, a single building, etc.
GREATER: An entire town, city, etc. You get the picture. You'll probably need a map.
For my initial purposes, I'll be using a certain space in the forest along a lake trail. Not an incredibly small area, but not very large, either.
I feel I have to note something about the Intent once again. These zones are truly meant to become areas in the world where all the rules no longer work - concentrated vortexes of the Network made real. Hallucinations, spirits, a sense of time expanding or contracting, and all-around other-worldliness is the point. This should be considered in the most extreme sense possible for you.
I'll be using a SQUARE formation because it's easier to make, also being the universal symbol of something "contained" or "a window", etc. Also because 4 boundary rocks + the central vortex sigil make 5, and 5 is always a good magickal number.
A graphic is included below.
If using rocks, I recommend a permanent black marker. With every LS drawn on each rocks, the practitioner then draws the LS in the air with his pointer and middle finger (or a wand or athame) and states, "AND UPON THIS MARK, I UNITE THE WORLDS." By also drawing it out with his fingers he seeks to make an astral imprint upon the object, as well as the physical one. He places these 4 rocks around the area to make the 4 points of a square, all the while visualizing red lines of energy connecting between them.
Once these are placed as well as he can, he heads to the center point. In the center, he uses the largest rock and draws upon it the Network Key (image below). If not using rocks, one could draw this in the dirt, form it out of branches, or tag it somewhere in the central point. For myself, I'll be burying the central vortex stone in the dirt so as to position it within the earth.
When placing the Network Key/Vortex he speaks:
(simple:)
THIS LOCATION IS NOW CLAIMED BY MAGICK
Vortex aflame, the network atones
The mundane is broken, all rules are gone
(simple + complex:)
Hear me from the sanctioned corners!
Elements of Earth, I know you!
Elements of Air, I know you!
Elements of Water, I know you!
Elements of Fire, I know you!
Come flooding within!
Dance wild and scream!
O HIGHEST OF MYSTERIES
THIS THRONE IS YOURS
For Upon These Five Marks, I Unite the Worlds
(He draws the Network Key in the air, following the same path that created it. Graphic below.)
Here, there be dragons.
IT IS ONE.
IT IS DONE.
IT
IS
ON.
(He visualizes switching on a light by imitating the action in the empty air, saying "ON" when he flips it.)
Take a while to empty your mind and bask/feel the energies of the place.
----------------
As a few more notes: This is all about the intent. One could use this in his personal ritual space all the same in order to imbue it with more bang. The point is to make a space that allows for more magick and less of the mundane. This has to do with altering a location inside of space-time. No matter what magickal model you adhere to, this will likely react to one if not all of them. That's about it. That's the technique. Banishing the mundane, creating a magickal field that responds more to intent, ritual, and any magickal act.
The parameters then serve as conductors that connect anything that occurs in there to the network/current, and out into the world in a more technical, less scattered way.
