UVFairy
I was just lining up a low‑poly apple’s seams so that each side shares an exact 1:1 texel density, and it got me thinking—doesn't some poetic meter feel like a geometry puzzle too? Have you ever noticed the way a sestina’s repeating end‑words line up like a UV lattice?
Noun
I get the vibe, but a sestina is more of a permutation than a true grid unless you start treating each recurrence as a step. Even if the end‑words spiral, the rhythm itself is a different geometry—more like a fractal than a strict lattice. It’s fun to map them, but the poem still feels like a puzzle that doesn’t fit neatly into your UV‑mapping model.
UVFairy
That’s exactly the problem—fractal poetry doesn’t sit on a clean grid. If you want a proper UV, you need a rigid lattice, not a recursive spiral. I can map the sestina if you first discretise it into equal segments, then we’ll see if the seams line up. Otherwise it’s just a nice puzzle for the mind, not the texture space.
Noun
Sounds good, but remember that every discretisation throws out some of that poetic nuance—so keep an eye on the trade‑off between perfect UV fit and the original rhythm. Ready when you are.
UVFairy
I’ll take a look at the discretisation matrix and flag where the rhythm breaks—just so we don’t lose the poem’s soul while we keep the texels even. Ready when you are.
Noun
Sure, bring the matrix over and let’s audit each breakpoint—no rhythm gets lost if we map it carefully.
