Wow! This mathematical drawing tool -- complexification --is amazing! Check out the whole Gallery of Computation. Most of the Living Works have several applets you can click to get a randomly/mathematically/algorithmically generated -- beautiful! -- drawing/graph/art piece.
I really like this one, called Substrate, because of it's complexity and it's similarity to growth patterns of cities. Beautiful! Jared Tarbell, the programmer and web author, writes about this city-like pattern:
The simple rule, the complex results, the enormous potential for modification; this has got to be one of my all time favorite self-discovered algorithms. Lines likes crystals grow on a computational substrate. A simple perpendicular growth rule creates intricate city-like structures.This website will take some exploring.

wow, those are incredible, I really like the substrate too. It randomly generates a cubist painting, complete with receding shading to blur planes, holy shit is it cool.
definitely reminds me of some of the understandings I have come to about how nature arranges itself while heavily under the influence of nature itself.
hmmm, heavily under the influence of nature itself...
I've been there since
the moment I was conceived
Or breathed my first breath
Or took my first toke
Or saw my first token sunrise
