lab.golden_signal --phi --signal
The first piece of generative art on the site. A golden-angle Fibonacci lattice, lit by a drifting signal field — the structure never moves, only the signal passing through it does. Every seed is deterministic: the same number always renders the same composition, so a seed is something you can share.
Generative art: a golden-angle Fibonacci lattice lit by a seeded, drifting signal field. Seed 1597. Same seed always renders the same composition.
1597 · 0x0000063DPoints are placed by the golden angle (≈137.5°, the φ-derived divergence) at radius proportional to √i — the same law a sunflower head uses to pack its seeds. The spiral arms it produces land on the Fibonacci sequence: 21, 34, 55, 89.
A seeded noise field drifts across that fixed lattice. Where signal and structure agree, phosphor ignites; where they don't, it fades to shadow. Order made briefly visible by signal passing through it, then gone — which is the whole idea.
Rendered as a monospace glyph grid on a canvas (no p5, no images).
The deterministic core lives in
lib/art/golden-signal.ts and is unit-tested for reproducibility; method adapted from Anthropic's
algorithmic-art skill.
