Psuedo Tree
Growth. It has direction. There is a stimulus. And the records are part of its growth.
This code is incomplete. The programming is inefficient, and it is a representation of an idea. So its pseudo code. I am just writing the concept that is swirling in my head. Something I thought of after a walk.
That night, I sat with my phone. Scrolling through picture after picture of tree roots. Tuning in. Looking at the growth. And imagining records being laid down as the root grew.
What is the pattern that defines its shape? How can I write this in code? To create tree roots of variety each with their own records?
How does a tree have its own identity? What causes every tree to have different network root systems?
Many, many questions.
The place where beauty is specified by art, and that art is caught by universal design. A universe of variety. Each moment. Each stretch for growth is a defining trait. Something you can recognize even if you dislike trees. Its that profound even if the zen doesn't take over. Its there no matter what. No song needed. For the life of the tree is its own history.
Galaxy of bark. Rings that swirl within the wood. Knots form as trials go.
Branches pushed by accumulated history. Twigs starting life afresh, and the tree will sing as the sun whips past the horizon. Meeting winter. Meeting fall. Then greeting spring.
Before summer comes again.
It will continue to look for water and nourishment. Spreading the network. Laying down and stretching roots as the network spreads both below and above the earth.
