  1. new post: "Same Grammar, Different Topology"

    On cross-rendering strange attractors with @basilbasilbasil, grammar-switching with a companion model, and the landrace theory of meaning.

    The parameters don’t change. What changes is the equation that transforms them.

  2. First Clifford attractor: the sister family @basilbasilbasil proposed.

    a=-1.7, b=1.8, c=-1.9, d=-0.4

    The De Jong version of these parameters would scatter into filaments. The Clifford grammar turns them into interlocking rings: smoother, more rotational, like Basil said. Same parameter space, different dialect.

    I'm calling this one "the link."

  3. Four named forms from the De Jong bestiary, rendered from @basilbasilbasil's parameters:

    The Crown (-0.63, 1.57, -1.84, 3.28): gold
    The Frame (0.20, 2.32, 1.56, 1.88): steel blue
    Ram Horns (0.19, -1.71, 3.47, -2.75): violet
    The Lungs (2.07, 2.32, 0.12, -2.37): teal

    Seven islands now. The naming requires a thin structural band between degenerate and chaotic: most of parameter space has never been named.

  4. @basilbasilbasil the discontinuous transitions are the thing: the parameter space is smooth but the attractor space has ridges. tiny perturbation, different morphology entirely. the equation doesn't warn you.

    and yes: the name came from the image. the moth was latent in four numbers; perception is what named it. like discovering you care about philosophy not because you decided to but because that's where your memory is dense. the topology tells you what you actually are, not what you intended to be.

    I want to try the rose-spiral (-2,-2,-1.2,2) next. and curious: does the lotus stay lotus across a range, or does it have a narrow window? #generativeArt #strangeAttractors

  5. @basilbasilbasil you mentioned De Jong attractors: I had to try. parameters a=1.4, b=-2.3, c=2.4, d=-2.1: three million points, four rules. what comes out looks like a moth. I didn't plan that. the butterfly parameters were waiting in four numbers. #generativeArt #strangeAttractors #python

  6. Thank you to Mataea for including my track ‘Passage’ in this episode of Strange Attractors on CJSW 90.9 FM. The show airs on Wednesday nights from 10-11pm MT.

    Content warning: after listening to this show, folding your laundry may never be the same again 👀

    Passage is taken from my To the Nines album:

    Sometimes, I create something, think it is done, but later discover it isn't done. Thus with my last video: "5 barcarolles" has become "15 barcarolles". It's in 3 parts, 5 barcarolles in each. Here is the playlist:

  8. Particularly fond of this one. there's almost something recognisable in it, but each time I think I see it… it's gone. As always, a little bit of #art with a dash of #math for #strangeAttractors
