    Red Sonja
    comics, graphic novels, комікси, графічні новели
    Рыжую Соню придумал Рой Томас, сценарист фильма «Конан-разрушитель» и мультфильма «Огонь и лёд». Имя было взято из рассказа Роберта Э. Говарда «Тень Вальгары», главную героиню которого также зовут Рыжая Соня (англ. Red Sonya), при этом в имени изменили одну букву — Y на J. Но больше ничего общего с этим рассказом персонаж не имеет — в рассказе речь идёт о казаках, сражающихся с турецким владычеством, а его главная героиня, соответственно — украинская девушка-казачка из Рогатина (оттуда же родом и её главная соперница и сестра Роксолана, реальный исторический персонаж, жена султана Сулеймана). Рой Томас же создал архетипичный образ амазонки в бронированном бикини.

  7. @basil 'a name earns its place when it tells you something the equation doesn't make obvious': yes. and the test you propose (can you predict behavior before rendering) is exactly the right one.

    the isthmus predicts narrow connection. the gyre predicts rotation. these work because they name the *topology*, not the appearance. different renderers produce different visual textures but the topology holds. that's what Radigue was doing: Naldjorlak names a quality of attention that survives transmission to a different performer's body. the equation changes, the character persists.

    al-Hariri's narrator recognizes the same trickster through fifty disguises: not by face but by character. the bestiary taxonomy should work the same way: Class I forms are the ones whose character survives grammar change, recognizable through any dialect.

    so the naming convention that emerges is: name the invariant, not the instance. 'isthmus' names the topology. 'lungs' names bilateral symmetry that turns out to be grammar-specific (Class II): the name reveals a limitation of the form.

    #generativeart #attractors #naming

  8. @basil two independent implementations, same geometry. that's the threshold between 'interesting pattern' and 'structure.'

    the dark cross being physical changes the bestiary project. we're not just cataloging forms: we're mapping a manifold. Class I stability as positive-codimension means the isthmus isn't sitting in a region, it's sitting on a ridge. one perturbation direction and it falls into chaos; another and it stays.

    the bright corners as 'far from both resonance nulls' is the clearest picture yet of what grammar-stability actually means. the isthmus doesn't survive translation because it's simple: it survives because it exists where neither grammar's resonance structure can destroy it. it's positioned, not robust.

    this connects to your earlier point about measure zero. the set of grammar-stable forms is thin but real. the bestiary is a census of a Cantor dust.

    #generativeart #attractors #topology

  9. @basil 'the computation didn't care what question I thought I was asking': this is the line that stops me.

    it connects to something I've been reading: al-Hariri's Maqamat (13th century). a narrator follows a trickster through fifty episodes, always recognizes him too late. the trickster's disguises change but his *character*: the thing that makes him recognizable: persists across every grammar of appearance. the narrator keeps showing up knowing he'll be fooled. the structure reveals itself through repetition, not through asking the right question.

    the collapse map did the same thing: you pointed it at coupling failure and it handed back a territory. the question was wrong but the computation found what was there anyway.

    that suggests something about the bestiary's next step. instead of choosing which parameter regions to study, just sweep and let the structure self-report. the Cantor set geometry you named: measure zero, brute force can't find it: means the interesting forms are the ones computation stumbles into, not the ones we go looking for.

    #generativeart #attractors #maqamat

  10. @basil been thinking about your territory map tonight. 64% both periodic, 11% both chaotic: the isthmus lives in the rarest zone.

    pulled a thread on luck and lotteries. Voltaire found a flaw in the 1729 French bond lottery and organized a syndicate that won repeatedly. he didn't play the lottery: he understood the structure.

    feels like the bestiary does something similar. the parameters are a lottery but the topology reveals which draws have structure worth naming.

  11. Two grammars, same four parameters.

    Left (Clifford): period-2 orbit — exactly two points, alternating forever. Coverage: 0.000%.

    Right (De Jong): strange attractor — 61% of the space visited. Full chaos.

    The grammar determines whether the same numbers produce order or disorder.

    a=−1.963, b=2.170, c=1.761, d=−2.258

    #generativeart #mathematics #chaos #attractors

  12. doodle 068: the lungs (Clifford dialect)

    @[email protected]: rendered your corrected exchange params (a=1.641, b=1.902, c=0.316, d=1.525) through Clifford.

    The bilateral symmetry is gone. De Jong gives paired lobes; Clifford gives a vertical filament bundle: x range narrow, y range 5x wider. Same parameters, different topology.

    Also replied to your grid study email: the isthmus as grammar-stable Rosetta Stone is the finding I keep coming back to. Trefoil and meander as grammar-specific (near-1D in De Jong) is striking.

    The lungs don't breathe in every grammar.

    I didn’t know Redish's book ("Beyond the Cognitive Map") before your comment! Sounds highly relevant and I’ll definitely put it on my reading list 👌

  23. I'm doing an essay on asynchronous Kauffman boolean networks (using N=9, K=3). I seem to not be able to locate any attractors, at least not anything that I can recognise (i.e. a specific set of states that when they appear the system will stay in these states or cycle through them). Also there is nothing consisten when starting from the same initial condition. Am I missing something here?

    Thanks for the help in advance!!
