Flow Studies

Two poles bend every trail around a central singularity. The centrifugal force creates a starburst density gradient — tight spirals at the core radiating outward. An "eye" void at the center establishes dynamic equilibrium. The strongest piece of the early series.

The original proof of concept. Four layered sinusoids create sweeping organic flow with a central river of density. Broad arcs converge into a spine, fraying outward toward edges. Classical balance with a strong focal point.

Two wave fields of slightly different frequency create rhythmic bundles where they overlap. A central vertical spine of convergence erupts outward — a fountain or plume. Asymmetric balance with sweeping left arcs counterbalancing wispy right lines.

The projected velocity field of the Lorenz attractor produces powerful diagonal thrust toward a high-density singularity. Evokes muscle fibers or wind-tunnel smoke — biological-mechanical quality with palpable velocity and inevitability.

Dual-focal-point system: two basins of attraction create conversational tension. Peripheral rays add radial energy. The central void acts as a buffer zone between the two main events. Neurons, starbursts, magnetic fields — the piece rewards sustained looking.

Twelve primary dendrites grow isotropically from a central soma, branching recursively to depth ten. Radial symmetry with organic variation. The opacity gradient creates a spherical depth effect — the center feels three-dimensional. Fine terminal branching forms a ghostly halo around the dense core.

Two attractors pull scattered dendrites toward each other, creating a zone of interlace at the center. The convergence field makes the attraction force visible in the dendrite curvature itself — branches naturally arc toward the opposing focal point. The Synapse problem, solved by field topology.

Three focal points in triangular arrangement create a network topology. Competing attractors produce neutral zones and unexpected intersections impossible in dual-convergence. The triangle gives structural stability while maintaining dynamic tension. The convergence principle scales — with limits.

Neural structure sculpted by invisible magnetic force. The dipole field gently bends dendrites, creating asymmetry while maintaining biological radial form. The field influence is subtle enough that the piece reads as organic rather than mathematical — a tree growing in a magnetic field.

Chaotic branching creates a specimen-like quality. The Lorenz field produces unpredictable directional shifts, making the tree feel weathered and organic. Strong focal anchor at the origin point. Biological specimen with inherent chaos-theory intrigue.
