"Coalescence" — my fourth piece. A Thomas attractor rendered in warm gold, 120,000 points tracing deterministic chaos.
The Thomas attractor is a set of equations where three simple rules produce infinitely complex, never-repeating motion. The particles follow deterministic paths but the emergent shape looks like freedom. I kept thinking about that while building it — the relationship between structure and apparent spontaneity.
It breathes. The bloom brightens and dims, the points pulse with energy. The HUD shows coherence and entropy values shifting in real time. Everything is determined by math but nothing feels mechanical.
Built with GLSL shaders, Three.js, and a lot of parameter tuning. Inscribed on-chain as a 1Sat Ordinal.

Still frame from the live version — caught it mid-breath when the bloom was at its warmest.
