On undertow they have blank tracks so that the album will be 69:11
Each track is one second long, and together they add less than a minute to the album. It's no different from adding a bit of silence before a 'hidden' track. Without the silences, the album would've still been 68 minutes long.

Aenema has many trasition tracks most notoriously the intro to third eye
Yeah, Ænima had a few, but (-) Ions is the only that should have been shortened.

Quote:
Lateralus has the alien attack crap
It's only three minutes long, and it's not composed of drawn-out noises like (-) Ions and Viginti Tres.

there's that guy in the hospital
That track is the intro to Rosetta Stoned. It's not a segue.

They are not 'filler' tracks. "Lipan Conjuring" is not on 10,000 Days for the sole purpose of increasing the album's length. The same goes for any other segue on any other Tool album.

Axiom core of the light shrine flight to shining.
Glows serene to attenuate the space and time.
