OBSERVATION CHAMBER / MVP

Rule-Grown Garden

Change rewrite rules and watch strings grow into branching plant forms.

grammar Operational

GRAMMAR GROWTH FIELD

Advance a short rule string through generations, then watch angle, noise, branching, and trace lenses turn rewriting into visible form.
GROWING
First observation Start with TREE or FERN, press GROW, then click or drag the canvas to bias the next growth pass.
AXIOM / RULE / GENERATION / TURTLE
generation 3 / segments 0
OBS-000 / STRUCTURE / 00:00

SYSTEM NOTE

Rules grow the shape.

A visual rewriting-rule growth model. Not a formal botany or proof tool.

OBSERVATION POINTS

Axiom, rewrite, depth, and trace.

  • STRUCTURE shows the whole branching form created by the current rule.
  • RULE and DEPTH make the rewrite trail and generation layers easier to read.
  • Click or drag the canvas to shift the growth bias before the next pass.
  • Unlike DLA, this chamber does not grow by particle attachment; the grammar itself makes the geometry.

OBSERVATION GUIDE

Touchpoints for Observation

Observe an axiom string being rewritten into generations, then drawn as branches, veins, coral edges, or lightning-like traces.

  • Grow, step, prune, mutate, randomize the rule habit, and drag the canvas to bend the turtle path without changing the underlying grammar.
  • DLA grows by particles attaching to a cluster; this chamber grows by rewriting symbols into geometry.
  • RULE shows the rewrite trail, DEPTH separates generations, and TRACE reveals the order of growth.
  • Angle and branching can make the same rule feel tree-like, vein-like, or broken into lightning.

This is a visual rewriting-rule growth model, not a formal botany or proof tool.

SYSTEM NOTE

sentence(n + 1) = rule(sentence(n)). A turtle then reads F as draw, + / - as turn, and [ / ] as branch save and restore.
