PULSEFORMS is a dynamic and *plottable audio-visual generative artwork that reacts and evolves with each block. This is more than data—it is a new kind of chant, an endless song beyond human control, where code becomes melody and the decentralized world hums its own rhythm.

Pulseforms also continues the legacy of Blueprints by producing physical plots. These plots are exclusively available on A3-sized black paper with metallic ink, preserving the sci-fi aesthetic.

Buyers of 4 editions grant an A3 plot with metallic ink on acid free black paper. To learn more about physicals contact me on x or on my discord 

Symmetry Groups

Pulseforms is built on the Blueprints engine, where symmetry is the core principle. It features four symmetry modes—Omniframe, Synth Horizon, Glitch Core, and Quantum Rift—each with varying probabilities. The probability distribution is outlined below.

Omniframe: 5% Probability, Fully symmetric across all axes, with a randomly layered distribution that creates a structured yet dynamic sense of randomness.

Synth Horizon: 40% probability, Features vertical-axis symmetry, with layered elements that blend order and variation, creating a balanced yet evolving structure.

Glitch Core: 15% probability. Here, randomness takes control while maintaining vertical-axis symmetry. With no strict boundaries for shape placement, it generates abstract forms that can resemble anything from spaceships to portraits.

Quantum Rift: 40% probability. A fusion of Synth Horizon and Glitch Core, blending structured symmetry with unpredictable randomness to create a dynamic interplay of order and chaos.

Lifetime

When inscribed, each Pulseform will have a lifetime to evolve, ranging from 1,024 to 4,096 blocks—approximately one week to one month on average.  

Pulseforms with the shortest and longest lifetimes will be rare, each occurring with a 10% probability, while the others will have a 40% probability.

Shape Count

While most parameters are derived from the inscription ID, the shape count is determined by the block hash, ensuring an ever-changing composition with each block while maintaining a consistent color palette, symmetry mode, and other fixed parameters. The probability distribution for shape count is as follows:

• 4 shapes: 5%

• 8 shapes: 10%

• 12 shapes: 20%

• 16 shapes: 30%

• 20 shapes: 25%

• 22 shapes: 10 %

Each block, the shape count dynamically shifts—either increasing or decreasing by a value between 0 and 5—adding to the compositional variety while preserving overall structural integrity.

Scale Modifiers

There are various scale modifiers that introduce additional variation to the composition, enhancing its dynamic and evolving nature. The images below are created from the same inscription id.

Sound Generation

Sound generation is the most exciting part of this project—I like to think of it as the voice of the blockchain, the embodied form of invisible transactions. A magical sound created by humans, yet sung by the machine. That’s why I call them chants.

There are 10 different chants:

• Interlink Interface  

• Exo-Signal Oscillator 

• Subsonic Pulse  

• Binary Resonance

• Voidband Transmission

• Nexus Aether

• Daemon Signal Array

• Netherwave Conduit

• CypherWave Protocol

• Resonant Dataflow
  
  

It feels like living in a high-tech spiritual world, where machines become vessels for summoning digital spirits.

Each chant is composed of at least two frequencies, with their combinations fully randomized. Additionally, for each layer, the wavetable is selected from the following array:

• ["triangle", "sine", "sawtooth", "square"]

• ["sawtooth", "square"]

• ["sine", "square"]

• ["sawtooth", "sine"]

• ["sawtooth", "triangle"]

• ["sawtooth", "square", "triangle"]
  
  

These parameters shift dynamically with each block, generating an ever-evolving industrial-cyberpunk soundscape—an organic, mechanical symphony shaped by the rhythm of the blockchain.

Network Elements

Network elements are lines that symbolize the connections between blocks—sometimes emerging from a source, other times linking blocks together. They create a visual representation of the blockchain’s intricate network.

There are four connection styles and three levels of density, adding further variation and complexity to the composition.
