The aggregates the matrix chooses at ε = 0.001

One function in the aggregation library, called 6 times across 1 essay. Below: what it draws at its defaults, what it draws at every value an essay asks for, the 4 claims it put to the test while drawing them, and where it stands against the rule this site is named for.

At its defaults it draws the aggregates the matrix chooses at ε = 0.001. A 15×15 grid of unknowns, each tinted by the aggregate that owns it. The operator's couplings are 1.0e-3 along x and 1.000 along y, so the strong direction is y — and the aggregates come out 3.00 points tall on average and 1.00 wide. 75 aggregates cover 225 points, 75 of them opened by the first pass and 15 points handed out by the second.

aggregate-map is one function in lib/figures/aggregation.js — smoothed aggregation — the sweep that is the method, and the angle that defeats it. Everything below came out of it during this build, at arguments taken from the essays rather than invented for this page. A figure here is the figure a reader meets in an essay, and if the generator changes, this page changes with it.

At its defaults

Drawn even though every essay passes arguments — which on this site is every essay, at 100% of placements since the standard pass. A default nothing exercises is a trap for the next essay to call this with none, and this is the page where a default that has drifted from the figures around it becomes visible.

What it checked while drawing

Every figure above checked its own claims on the way to being drawn, and a claim that failed would have stopped the picture rather than shipped a wrong one. Those checks used to leave no trace at all: a passing one returned true and the only evidence the figure had checked anything was that nothing crashed. The list below is what they actually said, collected by running this generator with an observer installed — not a description of what it is believed to check.

4 distinct claims across 6 sets of arguments, grouped below by shape — because most of them are one sentence with a different number in it, and how many separate times that sentence was put to the test is the informative part.

a grid whose cells are large enough to see

an anisotropy the operator is defined at

and the aggregation coarsens by at least a half

every point is in exactly one aggregate

Against the rule

The rule does not apply to it. It factorises nothing, so there is no residual it could be withholding. That is worth stating rather than leaving blank: a site that reported the rule as satisfied by every generator would be counting mostly generators the rule never reached.

Across the library: the rule bites on 217 of 397 generators — 199 print a residual and 18 are exempt with a published reason; 180 factorise nothing. Read from lib/residual-rule.js, which is the same body the gate enforces from, and the gate's last check fails the build if this page and it disagree about any generator.

Where it is called

Changing this generator changes every figure on this list. That is what makes the list worth publishing rather than keeping in a check script.
