Planet LRR

Planet LRR.

A beautiful world or amazing complexity.

Created using a simple process, repeated 2,000,000 times.

How is such complexity generated by such a simple process? Is our universe the result of a very simple rule, repeated again and again trillions of times?

Creating Planet LRR

The process is known to mathematicians as a Left-Right-Right turmite:

  1. Start with a blank space and select a starting square.
  2. If the color of the square is color #1, make it color #2, turn left and move one square forward.
  3. If the color of the square is color #2, make it color #3, turn right and move one square forward.
  4. If the color of the square is color #3, make it color #1, turn right and move one square forward.

The LRR Rules

Here is an easy way to understand how the "turmite" works. Imagine you are on a square grid and you have to decide what to do based on the color of the tile you are on. Click the color from the list above.
