- Here's another one from the vaults. This week's soup is a range 2
Diamond, threshold 1 Cyclic Cellular Automaton rendered in a fiery
palette of 25 colors. Started from a uniform mix, the threshold is
sufficiently small compared to the size of the neighbor set that
self-organization takes place around small pockets of residual debris. In
phase space, this scenario takes place at slightly higher thresholds than
those corresponding to the percolation transition soup from the week of
March 6.
- Over the years I have produced and framed many wall-sized photographs
of graphics such as those on the Kitchen Shelf. I use a Matrix PCR Film
Recorder and Cibachrome processing to get high-resolution prints with
excellent color intensity. One of my favorite presentations combines a
dull black mat with a colored metallic frame that picks up one of the
soup's colors. This weeks image, thus rendered, was a Christmas present
for my father a few years ago.
