Span Bloom

a flower grown from two directions

Live · running now p(θ) = center + a·v + b·w
The idea

A flower grown inside the span of two vectors.

Each petal begins as a pair of coefficients in the flower's own local space. Two basis directions, v and w, decide what that space looks like on the canvas.

Every sampled point, vein, seed, and glint reaches the image through the same map: center + a·v + b·w. Change the basis and the whole bloom re-forms, still faithful to the rule.

How it's built

One map, from local coefficients to canvas

a b
Coefficients Each point starts as a pair (a, b) in the flower's local grid.
v w
Basis Two vectors, v and w, set the directions the span can reach.
p
Sampling Feed every point through the map and the bloom appears.
