The left of ~~Fig.[trial1]~~ shows the state of the first experiment when it is apparent I am not getting anywhere near to what I wanted. One reason is a simple mistake in determining the thread count: For 7 generations I actually would only have needed ~~<math>~~2^6~~</math>~~ instead of ~~<math>~~2^7~~</math>~~ single threads in the end, because I forgot to start counting at ~~<math>~~2^0~~</math>~~. This would have reduced the thickness of the starting thread by half and also changed the appearance significantly.<br />A more serious problem for me is that the visual outcome is somehow off. Maybe I chose the evenweave’s units too large or the wrong color, but most importantly the intermediate result does not have the properties I expected it to have: it is neither 2D nor 3D, neither are the threads stiff and straight enough for the connections of the fish nor do they show the actual movement of a fish during its life cycle. This first piece is an unsatisfying accumulation of imprecise craftsmanship, so I have to find other possibilities to work with the pattern in the material world.
