Second a Held Breath, generative plate from seed 1382877167Streamlines 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. This plate is seed 1382877167 in the Kypros Copper palette. © 2026 artcyp.com

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

Evidence of an Empty Frequency, generative plate from seed 121241759Forty-six bands stacked from the top down, each one a closed shape lying between two sine curves of differing amplitude, frequency and phase. The bands overlap, because each advances the cursor by only 62% of its own height. About one band in six is filled in an accent at higher opacity than the rest; the stack stops early if it runs past the bottom edge.

It could have been drawn on paper in 1968 by somebody very patient.
