"made up of itself" and yet never able to express its self-made-makeup due to the constant growth of its structure based on the sum of its previous structure added to the current total structure.
Being an algorithm as such, it ought be animated but im not technically inclined to pull that one off
As it stands, it's on the fourth "tier" or dimension. or the fourth iteration of the pattern.
To describe this best would be to have you examine the
full sized picture.
Zoom all the way in, until you can make out the field grid of circles/almond slivers.
That is the first tier or dimension of this picture. THE WHOLE THING is nothing but circles filled in with different color patterns.
Circles within circles even. (but that's actually a different piece)
The circles first filled in are the center three, the first example of cubes fill in the circles with four colors: white, tan, green, and dark blue.
White designates the outline, tan the surface, and green and blue designate opposing walls.
The next tier is made up of this field of cubes, is cube shaped, but "invisible" and further made up of a larger dimension of gray cubes surrounding the first tier.
It's essentially that the center is "hollow" but "peers into" the *sum of the whole structure* which thus defines the first dimension/circular grid field as the sum of the structure, thus defining both its origin and destination... GETTING there is proving a pain
The current tiers are: (Circular outlines overlaying) then (White, Tan, Blue, and Green) then (Black, Dark Gray, Gray, and Light Gray) and lastly (Purple/violet, Red, Yellow, and Brown).
The theoretical next tier would be a new set of four colors, an outline, a surface, a left wall, and a right wall.
In my mind, the ideal would to be make it an overlay shader dimension which is made up of four "color states" that alter the surrounding colors and the overlain colors according to 4 unique definitions, but i've also lost track of WTF AM I EVEN THINKING...
wait, what? okay i think i lost it.
Anyhow, um yeah. M.C. Escher, i think?
