sketches/imaginary-1.webp

Imaginary 1

Complex plane mapped to color with mild warping. Real axis drives hue shifts; imaginary axis handles brightness rolls.

sketches/imaginary-2.webp

Imaginary 2

Sharper domain fold on the same mapping. Fractal-like seams appear where repeated inversions meet symmetry lines.

sketches/imaginary-3.webp

Imaginary 3

Lower iteration budget for cleaner gradients. Big soft fields dominate; detail concentrates near critical boundaries only.

sketches/imaginary-5.webp

Imaginary 5

Higher contrast ramp with compressed mid tones. Highlights punch harder against near-black troughs for a starker graphic read.

sketches/imaginary-6.webp

Imaginary 6

Orthogonal bias: imaginary terms weigh heavier on vertical bands while real terms favor horizontal sweeps across the field.

sketches/imaginary-7.webp

Imaginary 7

Fully randomized imaginary number visualization. Complex math creates unique gradient patterns every render through procedural generation.

sketches/imaginary-8.webp

Imaginary 8

Fully randomized imaginary number visualization. Generative complex number patterns with unique outcomes through mathematical exploration.

sketches/imaginary-4.webp

Imaginary 4

Faster parameter drift over time. Slow animation makes roots slide across the plane so the frame never quite settles.
