Approach to a Held Breath, generative plate from seed 83222929Nine centres, each emitting 34 closed rings whose radius grows as the 0.7 power of the ring index, so the spacing tightens as they widen. Each ring is a thirty-segment polygon pushed off true by a sinusoid whose amplitude grows with the index, and both stroke weight and opacity fall away as the rings get larger.

Notes on Akamas

There was no first attempt, so there is no better one.

The rule ran once and stopped where it was told to stop.
