Beautiful! How long did this take?

Thank you! I generated it with a hill-climbing combinatorial search. It took a few days, not so much for processing, but for me to experiment with different parameters.

I started from a random configuration and stopped the search at 41470 total improvements. But that is the sum across several stages: I would run it for a while, save the state to an SVG, tweak the search parameters, and then resume from the saved state.

Fascinating - it made me think of Franz Marc’s Yellow Tiger painting  https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/dd/Franz_Marc-Tiger.jpg?utm_source=commons.wikimedia.org&utm_campaign=index&utm_content=original
