The Field

The manuscript is ambiguous about whether the background colour, the so-called "field", impacts the supposed mystical nature or the efficacy of the configurations.

However, the lofty naming convention employed for them suggests that they are not purely decorative.

The trees are the structures connecting the biomorph figures and appear to be loosely related to the Tree of Life from Kabbalistic renown.  The manuscript records five tree variants that it deems "wise and proper" for universal disclosure.  Others are rumoured to exist.


- The Tree of the Seer -

The Lātō, the seer, is not themselves a genuine agent of power.  They are but a conduit.

The central triangle and its appendages represent their arms outstretched, ready to receive; and the disconnected northern triad is the all-seeing eye that is not the Lātō's own.

The markings on the connective lines, in addition to revealing hidden connections to learned scholars of the mystical, are rumoured to reveal an exhortation.


- The Tree of Chaos -

Kháos is a spider sinister and wise, though oft-broken in battle, always swift again to rise.

The Southern Monad represents the body of the creature, and the chaotic connections are its legs, neither as numerous as they once were, nor capable of finding the firm ground anymore.

Kháos, when undisturbed, walks its own internal landscapes, twisted and fraught with infinities that would drive lesser minds insane.

The markings on the connective lines, in addition to revealing hidden connections to learned scholars of the mystical, are rumoured to reveal the arachnid's method of immortality.


- The Tree of Power -

Mek'ena is an ancient device of great power, ever wrong for its time.

The triaxial connection between the Northern Triad and the Southern Monad is the nexus of the machine's power.  The lateral connections to the Eastern and Western Triads are its stabilizers, without which it could very well destroy the world.

The markings on the connective lines, in addition to revealing hidden connections to learned scholars of the mystical, are rumoured to reveal the source of all power.


- The Tree of Balance -

Tentsel is the scale of justice by which one and all are weighed.

Its dexterous half measures our acts of benevolence against our transgressions that burden the scale's sinister side.

The markings on the connective lines, in addition to revealing hidden connections to learned scholars of the mystical, are rumoured to reveal the way to evade final judgment.


- The Tree of the Grail -

Aska is the grail filled by the fountain of wisdom.

Its connected parts are the wall of the grail, and the solitary remnant of the Northern Triad represents the water of life.

The markings on the connective lines, in addition to revealing hidden connections to learned scholars of the mystical, are rumoured to reveal the name of a people whose wisdom is lost unto time.

The note in the lower right corner customarily appears in one of 5 languages: Arabic, Archaic English, Esperanto, Hungarian, and Scots.

In all cases, the text translates to something like, "Connections between microscopic mathematical animals.", suggesting that the configurations are not seen as arbitrary, but have some internal logic of their own.

Most experts believe that the languages correlate to the ethnic backgrounds of the anonymous authors of the manuscript.

The expert consensus on “The Mystical Microzoology of Mathematics” is that it is a late 20th century hoax manuscript of mixed anonymous authorship, scans of which were first unveiled at a private, invitation-only America Online forum catering to Esperanto enthusiasts in 2001.

The origin story that captured the popular imagination is based on the codex’s internal claim that it is a faithful recreation of documents, themselves reproductions of earlier medieval tomes, entrusted to Zamenhof during the inaugural World Esperanto Congress of 1905.

The primary thesis of the text is that there exist an infinitude of “animalcules” on the immortal mathematical plane, and they have inscrutable sympathetic connections to the other planes of reality, allowing their arcane placement into specialized configurations to reify mystical pre-human prayers of supplication on behalf of the arranger, thus being akin to immobile prayer wheels of sorts.

Of course, the endotextual claims of the manuscript’s pre-modern origins along with its other propositions are contradicted by the very focus of their mystical enquiries, as the microbial-looking forms featured on its illustrated folios are fractal figures more commonly known as Pickover biomorphs, only discovered in the late 1980s.

Nonetheless, this programmable cryptoart work is intended to facilitate the digital reification of all possible valid patterns within the limits stated and implied by extant fragments of the codex, well in excess of the handful of surviving illustrated pages believed to be authentic.

150 billion unique combinations of the biomorph figures, spread through 5 trees, are possible, and taking all other parameters into account, there exist precisely 6.75 trillion visually unique configurations that layer owners can bring to life.

The folio number in the left corner uniquely identifies every single possible variant.
