- For
- Generative-art collectors and creative-coding readers
- Worth noticing
- Every piece is deterministic from its seed, with route checks preventing crossings, spikes, slivers, and near-disc passes.
Field notes
The generator treats the string path as a constrained geometric route rather than a loose visual effect. It rejects or repairs paths that cross themselves badly, pass too close to discs, create thin spikes, or leave tiny colour slivers. The edition also exposes five combinable traits and lets visitors replay a wrap, save a PNG, or copy the hash for a specific output. Minting is described as a later external-platform step, not as part of the current page.
