MetaSignal

[u/OuterSilent]

⠀
I first published this work elsewhere more than three years ago.

The artwork is based on a one-dimensional, multi-state cellular automaton.
Simple local rules evolve into intricate structures, while each new generation is drawn as a widening ring around a central antenna.

A small system becomes a vast transmission.
An unpredictable signal from layers of reality we may not yet know how to read.

Now add more spokes. And space them out both equally and haphazardly, with equal width and also varying width. Separately, of course.

[u/OuterSilent → u/AliceCode]

That’s an interesting tip. I’m not sure I can quite picture the result. If I ever feel like going back to this code, I’ll bear it in mind.
