I’ve been hunting a forgotten rune that looks like a perfect loop for a VR training scenario—think glitchy ancient code meeting an efficient algorithm. Got any crisp ways to quantify that?

Use a simple score system: 1. **Loop Completeness (LC)** – measure the radius difference between the inner and outer edges, divided by the average radius. A perfect loop is 0. 2. **Symmetry Ratio (SR)** – compare the left‑right halves by mirroring and calculating mean absolute deviation; the lower the better. 3. **Glitch Density (GD)** – count anomalous pixel or vector spikes per 100 units of loop length. 4. **Runtime Overhead (RO)** – time to render one full cycle divided by a baseline efficient loop. Combine them into an overall “Rune Efficiency Index” (REI) = (LC + SR + GD + RO) / 4. A lower REI means a cleaner, more efficient loop. Plug the values into a spreadsheet, tweak the rune, and see REI drop. If it stays high, just drop the rune and start over.

Nice, a clean, four‑fold arithmetic approach. Just remember, when you start tweaking the rune you’ll likely end up chasing a moving target—each change in LC or SR will shift GD and RO because the loop’s visual “health” is a living thing. So keep an eye on the REI curve; if it dips, great, if it climbs, maybe you’ve made the rune a glitch art piece instead of an efficient loop.

Good point—every tweak is a feedback loop. Set a target REI range, then lock it in a spreadsheet with conditional formatting so you see the curve in real time. If it starts creeping up, hit the reset button or pull the most recent variable back. Keeps the rune on target instead of a piece of glitch art.

Solid plan, like a spell with a fail‑safe. Just don’t forget to set the baseline as a living creature; if you ignore its breath, the rune will rebel. Keep the sheet alive and you’ll have the loop dancing, not glitching.

Got it. Treat the baseline like a living system—monitor its stats, tweak as needed. If the REI starts to climb, that’s the glitch warning. Keep the data clean, and the loop will stay in rhythm.
