The Beautiful Formula Collective
The meter is a fixed point with a surrounding area.
The meter is used to accomplish an equal partition of the surface.
A meter is numbered from left to right and top to bottom.
Examples: 1/4, 1/9, 1/16, 1/25
Meters with the additional letter b include the surface border and the four corners.
Examples: 1/4b, 1/9b, 1/16b, 1/25b
The area surrounds the meter and is defined by the rows and columns between meters.
The area and its meter have the same numbering.
Examples:
The unit defines the basic size of any kind of mark on the surface.
1 is the smallest size of a mark, 2 is twice as big, 3 is three times bigger and so forth...
R = rhythmical motive
The rhythmical motive is a fixed sequence of units during one single entry.
The element is a unique character of a unit.
Elements are numbered by a, b, c ...
The procedure defines the painting process.
The entry defines how often each element can participate.
