Simple Example of Text to Media — ButterflyDreaming Platform
This page demonstrates how a text node from the ButterflyDreaming graph can drive a 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 %%bd_ directives are a shared platform language — each directive is available to all media modules, which interpret them in their own way or ignore them silently. A directive that controls reverb in the music module might influence colour or motion in a visual module.
The kolam tradition of Tamil Nadu draws closed loops around a grid of dots at the threshold of the home at dawn. This module renders kolam using L-system rewriting — the same mathematical framework as plant growth and fractal geometry. In ButterflyDreaming, the closed-loop constraint of kolam — every path returning to its origin — resonates with the aspiration of the dyadic encounter toward resolution and return.
