BDL-001 · The Bark Engine

How to operate
  1. Type a seed and watch the bark regrow, or ask for a new tree.
  2. Pull the density slider; toggle wake, gust, and grow.
  3. Same seed, same tree, forever.

Specimen plate BDL-001 · The Bark Engine

Every page of this site grows its own bark. A seeded generator places lenticel dashes the way weather places them on a real tree: clustered in bands, no two alike. This specimen removes the page and leaves the instrument. Type a seed, pull the density, and watch the same mathematics that quietly breathes behind the homepage render a pattern that has never existed before and will never exist again, unless you keep the seed.

How it works: a pure pattern core (a seeded Mulberry32 PRNG feeding band-clustered placement math) emits normalized dash geometry; a WebGL2 instanced renderer draws and animates it on the GPU. The pattern is deterministic. The seed is the tree.
