—
Type a seed to reproduce an artwork exactly — composition, layer choice and degradation all derive from it. That is what Pattern 5 means by determinism, and it is why the seed is worth keeping next to the image.
Paper inverts the field, not the palette — magenta and violet still carry structure, cyan is still accent-only.
At 0 across all three the artwork is fully clean and
legible — degradation is an effect, never load-bearing.
warp bends the substrate · erode eats ink coverage · grain is sensor noise · all three seeded from the composition seed
