orbits

Iterated mathematics, rendered as images.

A growing collection of small, self-contained programs that turn simple iterated math into images. The goal is a tidy, reproducible gallery: every project is one script with a clean command-line interface, a short README explaining the math, and example images whose parameters live in the filename so any result can be regenerated exactly.

Projects

🌀 Strange attractors  ·  attractors/

Clifford, De Jong and Svensson maps iterated millions of times and rendered as density plots, where the number of visits to each pixel drives the color. Four parameters reshape the whole figure; a --random mode hunts for interesting ones.

Roadmap

• attractors — strange attractors (Clifford, De Jong, Svensson)
• fractals — Julia and Mandelbrot sets (escape-time coloring)
• reaction-diffusion — Gray–Scott / Turing patterns
• penrose — aperiodic tilings
• hilbert — space-filling curves
