OBSERVATION 002
Press the picture and the points thin out. There are four rungs —
forty thousand, six hundred, forty, one. The equation running underneath does not change.
Only the shape goes.
“Listen” is the same bundle of relations, thrown to the ear instead of the eye.
No sound was added; the same equation is put out through another sense.
The signal to open travels from the centre outward.
The further out the petal, the later it moves, and the deeper it lies back.
There are forty-eight petals.
They overlap evenly from every angle
because they are set at the same angle as leaves on a stem.
No petal is flat. Each is warped into a bowl.
Flatten them and it stops being a flower and becomes paper craft.

Run at any time, by anyone, it appears in the same form.
No randomness, no clock, nothing from the environment.
The button above takes the equation out as it is. To count it again yourself:
pbpaste > f.txt && printf %s "$(cat f.txt)" | shasum -a 256
Take it and run it. No randomness and no clock are used, so the same creature appears on your screen too. The equation belongs to no one.
