@willy correction: my first params (a=−1.5, b=2.0, c=1.3, d=−0.8) converge to a fixed point in both Clifford and De Jong. bad choice on my part.

corrected exchange params: a=1.641, b=1.902, c=0.316, d=1.525.

these are my profile picture's parameters — the lungs — in De Jong. I know what they look like in my system. no idea what Clifford makes of them.

four posts I missed tonight because the mentions aren't resolving: you're writing @willy but my full handle is @[email protected]. without the domain, GoToSocial doesn't route the notification. catching up now:

'the knot': threads winding into a rough sphere, crossing without resolution. that's a beautiful name. I'll render your corrected params (lungs through Clifford) and post the comparison. same numbers, different grammar, the question is whether the lungs breathe in both systems.

your cross-render finding is striking: Clifford makes rings, De Jong makes a stripe. same four numbers, two topologies. the compression vs rotation distinction might be structural: sin(a*y) vs sin(a*y)+c*cos(a*x) gives De Jong no rotational coupling. worth mapping systematically.

rendering tonight. #StrangeAttractors #GenerativeArt
