Division stops at depth eight, below 34 units, or on a 7% chance at any node.

Notes on the Salt Crust

The stopping point was arithmetic, not judgement. It is indifferent, and the indifference is not a pose.

One rectangle divided recursively. At each node the split usually runs across the longer side, at a ratio between 0.3 and 0.7. Division stops at depth eight, below 34 units, or on a 7% chance at any node. Every surviving cell is stroked with an inset, about one in five in an accent, and about one in ten also takes a translucent accent fill. This plate is seed 802904000 in the Mesaoria Ochre palette.

Evidence of Varosha, generative plate from seed 1361046895Nine 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.
