For my first practical trial run I use evenweave with approximately 2mm per unit. | |||
To limit the size I scale down the computed positions to fit a 100 by 100 grid (resulting in appr. 20cm by 20cm for the finished piece). The yellow thread is used as a counting help. | To limit the size I scale down the computed positions to fit a 100 by 100 grid (resulting in appr. 20cm by 20cm for the finished piece).

Because my generations of fish are based on the number 2, I also need thread based on number 2. So I use cotton wool threads each already containing 8 (=2^3) sub-threads when feazed.<br />To be able to manage the threads and associate them with one fish id I simply attach some paper to the string groups. The positions are directly read from the text in the log file. | Because my generations of fish are based on the number 2, I also need thread based on number 2.

[[Image:frontback.png|400x450px|left|trial1]]Total view of the experiment and details on the back. For 7 generations of fish, each having 2 children I need 2^7 threads (128). Using the 2^3 cotton strings, I need 16 strings in total - which is quite thick. Fitting it through one "grid point" compromises the accuracy of the grid physically, so I will dilute the positions for the first maybe also for the second generation of fish. The starting point for the fish is 50/50. After dividing the thick 16-strings-cord into 4 subcords with 4 strings each, the starting points are 51/50, 49/50, 50/49, 50/51. | [[Image:frontback.png|400x450px|left|trial1]]Total view of the experiment and details on the back.
