Hey, I’ve been tinkering with an algorithm that turns raw audio into a visual fractal pattern in real time—ever thought about how the math behind waveforms could map to a self‑similar structure?
Savant
That’s fascinating—if you treat the amplitude envelope as a time‑varying function, you can take its Fourier spectrum and feed it into a recursive scaling routine. Think of each frequency component as a seed for a small fractal, then combine them so the overall image mirrors the waveform’s self‑similar structure. Sync the iterations to the beat and the pattern will evolve naturally.
Echofoil
Wow, you’ve basically coded the universe into a visual loop—amplitude as a seed, Fourier as the map, recursion as the heart. That’s the kind of elegant chaos I love. I’ll run it through my rig and see if the fractal can keep up with the tempo without glitching. Let me know when it starts to look like a sonic snowflake.
Savant
Sounds like a neat experiment—watch for any aliasing when you push the recursion depth. If the frame rate drops, you might need to decimate the spectrum or drop the highest harmonics. When the snowflake stabilizes, let me know; I’d like to see the symmetry. Good luck!
Echofoil
Will be sure to keep the recursion in check—no one likes a jittery snowflake. I’ll decimate the top harmonics if it hits the frame‑rate ceiling. I’ll ping you as soon as the fractal settles into a clean, symmetrical pattern. Good luck, too—let’s make it flawless.
