OBSERVATION CHAMBER / MVP
L-System Growth Garden
A visual rewriting-rule growth model for observing axiom strings, iterations, branch angles, depth, and trace-based form growth.
grammar
Prototype
GRAMMAR GROWTH FIELD
Advance a short rule string through generations, then watch angle, noise, branching, and trace lenses turn rewriting into visible form.
First observation
Start with TREE or FERN, press GROW, then drag inside the canvas. The same rule bends into a different habit.
AXIOM / RULE / GENERATION / TURTLE
generation 3 / segments 0
OBS-000 / STRUCTURE / 00:00
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.
- 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.

SYSTEM NOTE
sentence(n + 1) = rule(sentence(n)). A turtle then reads F as draw, + / - as turn, and [ / ] as branch save and restore.
OBSERVATION POLICY
This lab runs in your browser. No image, pointer trace, or input is uploaded by this prototype.
OBSERVATION LOG
Observation logging will be connected with moderation in a later build.
