Archetypes #55/230
The series simulates the interaction of multiple waves. Each wave is defined by a center point and utilizes different distance calculation methods. As the code loops through these waves, it computes the distance between a specified point and each wave center, determining the amplitude of interference. By summing up these amplitudes, constructive and destructive interference effects are simulated. The resulting interference pattern is normalized and mapped to a color palette.
This exploration into wave interference patterns serves as a study in aesthetic ontology, sparking contemplation on the subjective aspects of aesthetic experience and whether or not perfect, immutable and mathematical forms of beauties, or 'archetypes', exist.

All works are designed with plottability in mind. The works are constructed using grids of four-sided ploygons and for this series I developed an algorithm that allows me to draw a 'square-spiral' to solid-fill each polygon, thus emulating smaller pixels within its spiral structure.
Press s to save a single complete SVG file for plotting. Each SVG file is divided into 3-10 layers, depending on the number of colors in the palette for that iteration. When plotting, only display the layer corresponding to the color you're using and hide the rest. The layers are categorized by color for easy reference. While 0.4mm (size 04) pens are optimal, the series is compatible with a variety of pen sizes.
