I am trying to understand what this means. Usually we think of periodicity
as arising from the domain, not the field.
I think it would be easiest to:
a) Use two different DMDA for the fields that "match up" where needed
or
b) Use a DMStag since it sounds like these should live on horizontal and
vertical edges

What most experimenters take for granted before they begin their
experiments is infinitely more interesting than any results to which their
experiments lead.
