Spatial periodicity in grid cell firing has been interpreted as a neural metric for space providing animals with coordinate system navigating physical and mental spaces. However, the specific computational problem being solved by cells remained elusive. Here, we provide mathematical proof that spatial is only possible solution to sequence code of 2-D trajectories hexagonal pattern most parsimonious such code. We thereby likely teleological cause existence reveal underlying nature global geometric organization maps direct consequence simple local A provides intuitive explanations many previously puzzling experimental observations may transform our thinking about cells.
