Amazing insightful and thoughtful write up, thank you!

Loved the 3d visualizations

It reminds me of this thing I built some time ago while playing with recursive decimation to generate effects similar to fractals from any image

You can play with it here: https://jsfiddle.net/nicobrenner/a1t869qf/

Just press Blursort 2x2 a couple of times to generate a few frames and then click Animate

You can also copy/paste images into it

There’s no backend, it all just runs on the browser

Don’t recommend it on mobile

Curious if it would work in 3D

Very interesting! I wonder what that would look like

Right now, roughly, the algorithm recursively divides the image by doing decimation (ie. picking every other pixel), and keeps the decimated pixels as a second image

Not sure how that algorithm would apply to a 3d data structure

Do you know how 3d objects/images are usually represented?

It would be cool to recursively decompose a 3d object into smaller versions of itself :)
