This system evolves sequences of coordinate transformations which, when operated on a square produce attractive images.  The process works by initially generating numerous random transform sequences, building the images associated with these sequences, evaluating those images, and finally recombining the highly rated images to produce new sequences.  Repetition of the final three steps over dozens of generations refines the images.  Introduction of random ‘mutations’ in the sequences prevent the system from getting stuck in a limited repertoire.

This page shows the latest set of 3D serial coordinate transform sequence images.  The list box next to each image allows you to register your rating of that image.  The scores collected from this rating process are used to determine the contribution of that sequence to the images of the next generation. 

Please rate some or all of the images and send me the results (using the button at the bottom of the page), and I will notify you when the next set are available for rating (and, I promise, no spam). Thanks!

[Ergonomics note (having rated thousands of these), the Tab key will take you to from one rating list to the next and align the image to be rated to the bottom of the screen; thus images can be rated quickly with number, tab, number, tab …]

The visualizations of the sequence results are created using POVRay (Persistence of Vision Raytracer), with input calculated in a Pipeline Pilot protocol.  The straight lines connecting the larger spheres show hierarchical clustering using three iterations of the Cluster Data Pipeline Pilot component.
