Notes on the Venetian Wall

It could have been drawn on paper in 1968 by somebody very patient. 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 2704985524 in the Mesaoria Ochre palette.

Approach to the Ledra Line

It arrived complete, which is not the same as arriving resolved.

Model of Varosha, generative plate from seed 3269386718Streamlines through a fixed vector field. Each of 220 lines starts at a random point and takes 110 steps of five units, turning at every step by the sum of three sinusoids of its current position. A line stops early if it leaves the plate. Roughly one line in seven is drawn in an accent rather than the ink colour, and each is given its own width and opacity.
