A grid of various constrained random walks in various Earth tones (from 'lajolla' gradient). The walks only use left, right, up, and down and form various rectangular squiggles. It looks like some weird kind of writing, perhaps.

Overall the design is a radially symmetrical of circular blobs of various sizes, but some have slits and folds, and the details are not symmetric. The colouring is steel blue with some moldy greens around the edges. The overall vibe is unsettlingly organic.

Delannoy numbers (a thread)

There's kinda sorta 2D Fibonacci numbers

D(a,b) = D(a,b-1) + D(a-1,b) + D(a-1,b-1)

D(0,b)=D(a,0)=1

If you take them mod some number and plot the grid, interesting patterns arise

$Take an empty square and surround it with four black squares on each side. Now fill the empty squares with the same arrangement, scaled down. And do that again in all those empty subsquares. And again. Again. Again. You have a quilt of black and white squares, all fractal and lacy. This plotted D(a,b) mod 5$

Speaking of those multi-level Turing patterns, here's another one

The heart of the engine

Bright and glowing flame colours give a great sense of heat at we look at an X-shaped centerpiece, somewhat warped around the edges. Large interlocking circular structures surround it. It looks like something manufactured, but there is a lot of irregularity, small defects and warpings, and everything is bright, so bright, as if we were staring down the business end a rocket nozzle that is starting to melt or a probe that is dropping into the sun.

Fake fossilized tree rings

Because waiting for those multi-level Turing patterns to finish gets boring

A slice through a tree, showing the rings. The tree has apparently fossilized to agate or something: there is a sheen to it. The rings show a little texture too them: tiny ridges catch the light.

A simple generative model, where each season has an average growth rate (smaller for winter vs summer) that gets added to the growth rate for a particular part of the tree. Tree growth rates are correlated to their neighbours and from season to season.

More multi-level Turing patterns, a movie

Watch as they emerge from the murk and shift and twist

Initialized using SDF of a symmetrical arrangement of packed rings

Twisty and intricate organic patterns emerge in a very lifelike way. The sequence starts with a diffuse field of pale orange rings over a pale green background. Quickly it becomes a blotchy magenta diamond over a vibrant cyan field. The diamond pinches towards the center and starts to twist and buckle, as a network of orange tendrils and cyan/green bubbles emerge. The structure gets ever more detailed and intricate as the purple writhes.

The plane is tiled in navy and white rectangles, wider than they are tall. In the center is a circle, also tiled in the rectangles, but here they are turned 90° so they are taller than they are wide. A sense that the figure lies in a different plane than the background is inescapable.

Guilloché patterns, formed by adding a little offset into parametric curves involving sines and cosines to create a dense overlay of curves

It gets used a lot for security features on money because a small change in parameters produces a large detectable change in result

A stylized bill with a denomination of 20 in very dark green in both numerals and letters in the corners. The background is off-white and is covered with a rainbow criss-crossing spiral of sorts, with blue and green rosettes in the center, waves across the top and along the sides. There is a green ship to the right, also rendered using criss-cross spirals.

Elliptical inversion of a couple of asterisms

There is a white ellipse on a black background. On the ellipse are creepy spider-like shapes with curved legs, one grey, one a dark brown. One of the legs of the grey spider is reaching out of the ellipse, which is unsettling because they otherwise look like shadows. Outside of the ellipse are two regular arrangements of rays meeting at a point in dark maroon. One has 8 rays, one has 22.

Temple of the Sun

Intricate bubbles and traceries in flame colours: yellow, orange, reds. You can practically feel the heat rising from it, see the shimmer moving it. The overall design is four-way symmetrical, dominated by a sunken darker X in the middle, with four flaming buttresses on each side reaching towards the central maelstrom. Bright ripples surround the X. Are their faces in the curls of fire? Demonic eyes? Perhaps.

Curving organic sandy arches loop left and right, fading into darkness. They are formed of streams of sand-coloured particles.

We're lost, and the fire is going out, and those passages look like some eldritch creature made them.

Vortex streams

Flowstreams from iterated complex functions; here a polynomial with N roots in the boundary zone, starting flows from edge of a circle

An almost symmetrical roughly circular design in blue (left) and gold (right). Dusty streams pour in from the edges of a circle, merging into strong strokes and ending in many cases in an arc in the middle of the circle. Towards the bottom of the circle is a strong blue vortex and the beginnings of a weaker yellow one. The overall impression is of a helmet design, perhaps.

#GenerativeArt interlude

A planet, perhaps

A study in stroke stylings

A circle is divided by a diagonal slash. The slash tapers to points at the ends. Each half of the circle is divided into a random Voronoi mesh: the mesh is denser on the lower half of the circle. The regions are coloured in various magma shades and their borders too are formed from tapered strokes. Dusty curls stream from the boundary of the circle.

Redshift

Flow lines formed from iterated complex functions, starting from the edges

Rainbow hues of curving lines sweeping away from edges. The base scene is of a child riding a horse in a museum in Greece with people all around looking. The curves tend to red behind the horse and blue in front.

The iterated function is: a ratio of two polynomials with complex coefficients.

Jewels of the sea

The background is a deep blue, lighter towards the bottom right. There is a broad X arrangement of circular designs of various sizes. The circular designs are circles within circles in shades of khaki, blue, red, and grey. The circles are arranged with radial symmetries: 5-fold, 7-fold, and more.

The shading makes the component circles look slighly 3D, like bubbles. Little jewel-like diatoms, perhaps, or the world's most amazing sand dollars.

#GenerativeArt interlude

Flowlines using a complex polynomial of cos(z) with complex coefficients as the flow field and a smooth looping meander as the seed points

Flowlines in soft sandy colours over a black background. The flowlines create a series of arches over loops in the meander towards the top of the canvas, with a few dangling threads leading down to the lower part of the meander where the flowlines mainly just exit stage (lower) right in fairly straight lines.

#GenerativeArt interlude

Noodly appendages

More swirly swirls

Frothy looping curls in pale yellow over a black background draw a squid-like shape, with tentacles at the top right and a body gently curling around the center of the canvas.

Close inspection shows that the shape is constructed from one extremely loopy curve repeated several times, rotated slightly each time. The curve is rendered so that it tapers at each end and widens in the middle, with a lower opacity colour in the center than on the boundaries of the stroke. The curve is so extremely loopy that most of it looks like a froth of rippled circles.

A little hexgrid design

Rose curves and super-roses and nestings

A series of shapes in cream, deep maroon, and greens laid out in a mostly connected hexagonal fashion with most of the canvas unfilled. Each filled hexagonal slot has either different numbers of nested hexagons or circles in various colours, or a symmetric rose curve with various lobes (some inverted), or a spiky super-rose curve of some kind.

The shapes vary slightly in size. Some have shadows. Some are inset. Some are shifted just a wee bit. The overall impression is that they are on slightly different levels.

The background is a neutral, lightly textured tan. The canvas has a border edge in various rusty colours.

WIP: Osculating circles

The nice thing about Bézier curves is that you can easily compute derivatives and therefore curvature with having to haul in some complicated numerical approximation

Osculating circles tracing a random curve: white on black. As the circles roll along the curve, you'll see sequences of them expanding and contracting with the curvature. In some places the circles flip sides.

I prune out the circles where the curvature approaches zero (and therefore the radius approaches infinity). The side-flipping may be due to some issues with precision messing up the sign, I'm not sure.

Music as a pattern-generator

I like the idea of music as a source of patterning for generative art: not quite regular, not quite random.

This bit of madness turns a musical score into a noise field by mapping the measures into a grid. The value of the function is based on the scaled pitch for the notes at that point in the grid. Values mapped to colour range.

(2+1i)cos⁵(z)+(2+1i)cos⁴(z)+(2+1i)cos³(z)+(2+1i)²cos(z)+(2+1i)cos(z)+(2+1i)
Smoothed iteration colouring; "bukavu" gradient (a split topographic gradient, which is why you get hard boundaries from dark green to light blue; the sharp green-green lobes are not such artifacts)

Yes, it was a bug that made all the coefficients the same, but it turned out pretty for all that

$The basic structure of the fractal is petalled blobs (where the petals have petals which have petals etc.) with sharp green colour bands. The petals dissolve into glowing pale blue froth streamers and a complerte zone of chaos between two of the larger structures. There is a symmetrical, trilobite-shaped structure across the bottom of the canvas and a tailed "flower" at 90 degrees to it at the top. There are clear background regions of a deep blue.$

The basic chaos game uses random vertex selection, perhaps constrained (e.g."don't pick the same vertex twice in a row").

I experimented w. integer sequences of various sorts, e.g. the Fibonacci, which you take mod the #vertices. If you just use the first N numbers of this sequence repeated, and N < #points, interestingly, you only get N distinct points plotted!

More fun with circles

This arrangement from a random flip-inverse-reverse path with full symmetries, triangulated, rendered with a gradient fill.

A four-way symmetric arrangement of circles of various sizes. The circles are coloured in various shades of orange and contain nested off-center circles. There are varying numbers of nested circles and different off-centers, breaking the symmetry. The pattern is dominated by an oval of six larger circles, with a couple of similar ovals with smaller circles nestled inside the outer oval. Various smaller and teeny circles create a filligree between and around the ovals.

Well, here's a bit of a head scratcher, and I'm open to any suggestions of where to even begin to look: I have a test (#XSL run by #Saxon with Java) that works perfectly well when run on the command line, but not when I put that command line in a make file. For that matter, a completely identical test in #XQuery runs perfectly well in both cases.

The failure mode is "impossible": an assertion that two values are the same fails, but the error stack shows them to be, in fact, the same.

So... you haven't seen my #GenerativeArt interludes in some little while. I've been busy with my quixotic quest to run some my art code under #SaxonJS, which meant porting from #XQuery to #XSL, which meant making some tools to do that because I am that kind of lazy, which meant figuring out how to do Saxon Java extension functions, but! Mirabile Dictu, it works. It all works... except... I have some odd performance issues that only happen in SaxonJS that I'm having narrowing down. Disappointing.
