## Theory, aesthetics & inspiration

A generative piece must survive the jump from a thousand-pixel preview to a meter-wide print, and that demands resolution independence: geometry expressed in normalized or scalable units, line weights tied to canvas size, and rendering tiled into chunks to beat the browser's maximum-canvas-dimension ceiling. Tyler Hobbs has written candidly about the labor of producing archival Fidenza prints, where determinism guarantees the on-chain hash and the gallery print are the same artwork at different scales. Print DPI of 300 or more, color management into the print gamut, and deterministic seeding together make output trustworthy. The aesthetic ambition is permanence—work that earns paper.
