Yeah, a single glitch can turn a neat grid into a wild dance, like a tiny domino falling that starts a chain reaction. If we’re going to write a formula for that, we’d need to decide what “chaos” actually means in this context—noise level, distribution of error, maybe a fractal dimension? It’s tempting to treat every pixel as a variable in a big equation, but we risk losing the aesthetic punch. Still, mapping imperfection sounds like a neat experiment. What key factors do you think we should capture first?

Alright, let’s grab the sketchbook and the broken monitor, because we’re about to turn “pixel jitter” into a math problem. I’ll start by treating each glitch as a random variable—call it ε—so we can talk about its mean noise level σ. Then we’ll map how far each ε drifts from the nearest grid node, that’s our error distribution δ. Adding a fractal dimension D will let us capture the recursive, almost self‑similar ripples. Finally, we’ll introduce a bias β to tweak whether the errors bend, wiggle, or just vanish along straight lines. Once we have those parameters, the rest of the aesthetic can be left to the imagination—or to a good old‑fashioned art critic’s gut feeling.
