\label{finderimage}  In the center, a surface density projection through the simulated volume. The dashed cyan line marks the boundary of the periodic simulation domain. We calculated the surfaced density using only the gas between $10^3 < n/{\rm cm}^{-3} < 10^{4.5}$, and converted this to an approximation of an optically thin C$^{18}$O observation. The magenta boxes delineate the filaments we focus on in this paper. At left and right above  these filaments are shown in their native coordinate system, along with line of sight velocity observations along the $L$ dimension. These density weighted line of sight velocities are summed along the $W$ dimension, i.e. they are the $L$--$v$ plane of the $L$--$W$--$v$ position--position--velocity cube.
