This idea came to me while I was developing the Chaos Sphere Trip. For some reason, the x, y, and z positions got misaligned, and this little beauty appeared on my screen. I was mesmerized for a while, just watching it, until I realized that I had finally understood a vision from an old friend.
A couple of years ago, a fellow frater came to one of our meetings, excited about a vision he had: a Chaos Sphere with several arrows. He said there were fourteen arrows, but then added, “That’s just how I see it—actually, it seems to have infinite arrows.” Inspired by the vision, he couldn’t stop talking about its meaning: “Freedom in all dimensions, beyond our simple three-dimensional comprehension.”
With these words in mind, I believe I am finally clarifying his vision. Back then, it felt like a bit too much to take in all at once. He didn’t have the ability to “transmit the vision” clearly, if you know what I mean. But it planted a seed in my mind—a seed that has now blossomed into the n-dimensional Chaos Sphere.
I’ve been meditating on this for a while now. Since its behavior is entirely shaped by randomness—a “code coincidence”—anything that emerges from it can be interpreted in an oracular way.
It may look chaotic at first, but, like chaos itself, sometimes it reveals its hidden order, making you feel as though some “will” is guiding it.
See for yourself (and then reload the page for a bit of randomness).
