Three new generators, taking flowshape to 35, plus a new mode on an existing one. All four were spiked on the animate stage and played against music before anything was registered.

New patterns

  • Line Field — a grid of short axial strokes whose orientation comes from a continuous vector field: Gaussian vortices plus curl waves, evaluated at domain-warped coordinates. The curl construction is the forced order — the field is divergence-free by identity, so it must swirl and can never drain. Every stroke turns through the phase cycle; the swirls wander like weather.
  • Node Garden — a jittered lattice of dots with an edge wherever two fall inside the connection radius. Rows and columns stay legible, edges are trimmed rim-to-rim so each one crosses visible ground, and a displacement clamp guarantees no two dots ever overlap at any parameter. Constellations form and dissolve as the field drifts.
  • Interference — horizontal lines displaced by the summed field of two wave sources. With equal wavenumbers the fringes are the hyperbola family of the two foci: geometry, not tuning. At the default amplitude the lines cross and braid into luminous caustic ribbons.

Also

  • Hiding squares — a new mode on Warped Fabric, where each cell's square rides the same warp noise in translation, scale and rotation. Where the noise is calm the squares fill their cells; where it rises they shrink, shift and turn, exposing the ground. Existing Warped Fabric URLs render byte-identically.
  • The References section now credits 22 works by DOI, each verified to resolve to the exact work cited.

Every existing pattern snapshot is unchanged, so every poster URL ever shared still renders exactly as it did.
