The first article in a series by Ralph Griswold on designing original L-Systems for weaving and pattern generation. It explains the fractal nature of L-Systems, the role of the seed, the irrelevance of the specific alphabet beyond its size, and how generation length grows. It also covers how symbols relate to one another, what formal grammars can express, and the role of interpretation, illustrated with small rule sets and the strings they generate.
