When a local rule becomes a form

The pattern behind this page is an evolving Potts model. Each site has a state. Four neighbours and a temperature govern the acceptance of a proposed change. Repeated across the lattice, these small decisions produce domains, boundaries, and structures that no individual site contains.

Here the simulation becomes the page's landscape. Cool it, let it develop, then raise the temperature and watch the domains dissolve. The writing floats above it; you can pause the lattice whenever you want a still background.

The lattice changes. The page gives the thought room to stay.
