EXPLORE THE ALGORITHM
This is the engine behind every piece in the collection. Each time you click Generate, a new system comes to life, just like it will during the actual mint. Click the artwork to watch the pendulum draw itself, stroke by stroke, in real time. You’ll also find each generated artwork's output profile: a snapshot of the variables that shaped its motion, from period ratios and amplitudes to damping, line type, and runtime.

THE PERFECTION SCORE
Not all systems are equal. Some yield minimal, balanced loops. Others spiral into dense and expressive tangles.
To make the structure of the system visible, I created a rating method. Every piece starts with a score of 100. Deductions are applied for imperfections like asymmetry, imbalance, short runtimes, and high period offsets. Bonus points are awarded for elegant ratios with low least common multiples.
The result is a Perfection Score, and a System Rating from Emergent to Perfect. It does not dictate taste. It reveals the path the system took.
Emergent: below 60
Forming: 60–69
Proficient: 70–79
Notable: 80-84
Advanced: 85-89
Superior: 90-94
Perfect: 95+
