Concept

See examples.

Eventually each letter will correspond to an image that tiles seamlessly with its neighbours in the doubling (or tripling, etc, mix and match should be possible here) grid.

Needs suitable detail reduction in smaller mipmap levels so that things like line width will remain visually constant when shrinking. Then re-project the exponential strip into a zoom video. Eventually draw a tileset by hand and scan it. Later maybe animated tilesets.

Currently it uses a vaguely L-system like specification. Order of rules matters, selecting the shortest result out of all possible variants is too inefficient. Seed is fixed to “a”, when the seed is reached again it stops / loops.

An aim is for this all to be computationally efficient (target is roughly laptop hardware from mid-late 2000s).
