Looking for magic numbers
@cacheflowe Cool! Can you tell more about the software and controller?
@derheap I just updated the image alt description with some more info :)
@cacheflowe
Is this using Brent Yorgey's Factorization Diagrams?

It certainly looks related!
It's great, I want to see more!
More factorization diagrams

My post on factorization diagrams from a month ago turned out to be (unexpectedly) quite popular! I got ten times as many hits as usual the day it was published, and since then quite a few other pe…

The Math Less Traveled
@shapr it does look quite similar! I'm just placing smaller versions of the parent shape at each vertex of a polygon, with variable scale & rotation (and optional bounding circles)
@cacheflowe I'm getting some #DrStrange vibes from the cool visuals!
@cacheflowe IS this going to be released as a program or app for PCs? Looks fascinating.
@CdnCurmudgeon it’s not going to be released - it was one of my many little experiments over the years :)
@cacheflowe
What software is that?
@blackcoffeerider it's a lil custom software built w/Java & Processing
@cacheflowe I did something similar recently and plan to do further experiments https://twitter.com/spenot/status/1641541403896414214

@spenot nice! Tactile UI adds so much 🤗
@cacheflowe Thanks! I just wish MIDI wasn’t limited to 7 bits, it’s a bit rough :)

@cacheflowe

That's a really awesome demo.

Those knobs look like they're pretty posh components!

@KleinianArborist The knobs are store-bought - it’s a Novation LaunchControl. Really nice little unit!
@cacheflowe @emargee wut and why the fuck haven't I got one of whateverthefuckthatis
@cacheflowe
Cool.
Reminds me of when I was playing around with tree fractals and accidentally found a Koch snowflake at 150 degrees and 1/sqrt(3) scale.

A Mathematical Snowstorm, or How I Survived a Blizzard of Koch-like Snowflakes—Wolfram Blog

An initial look at self-similar trees that generate the Koch curve, assisted by the Wolfram Language, and that grew into a larger set of Koch-like snowflakes.

@Wlm ooh! There’s definitely a similar thing happening there, but seems much more complex than what I’ve done :)
