Simple Example of Text to Media — ButterflyDreaming Platform
This page demonstrates how a text node from the ButterflyDreaming graph can drive a three-dimensional visual media module. The L-system rules and %%bd_ directives shown below would be found in a graph node, discovered and edited collaboratively by two anonymous users during a dyadic encounter.
The same L-system grammar that drives this 3D module can simultaneously drive the 2D kolam module — the flat projection and the volumetric form as two expressions of the same symbolic content.
L-systems were originally developed by biologist Aristid Lindenmayer to model plant growth. In three dimensions they produce branching structures, spatial mandalas, and forms that echo the self-similar geometry found throughout nature.
