networked.art: The colour of a pixel

The complete rule by which a pixel in 4096 takes its colour. Three measures from a token's trading history — how often it sold, how uneven the gaps between sales were, how long it was held. Velocity's influence is removed from the other two by regression, then patience's residual influence from rhythm, so the three channels stay independent rather than collapsing onto a diagonal. Each is ranked across the collection and mapped to one of sixteen steps.

Colour is a rank, not a value. A pixel's colour describes where it stands against every other pixel, and it moves when other people trade even if you do nothing.
