claim:a-fixed-generative-sequence-when-interacting-with-a-variety-of-contexts-yields-essentially-infinite-unique-designsA fixed generative sequence, when interacting with a variety of contexts, yields essentially infinite unique designs.
Refutes the charge that generative sequences produce uniform results; the Pasadena examples show organic variety without modular repetition.
