The Periodic Table of Image Elements

A working map of the primitives we make images from — extracted, generated, captured, computed. The cauldron's periodic table. Each cell is an element of image-making; some are open, most are still to walk into.

Rows: scale of the unit (atoms → ecosystems). Columns: family of authorship (deterministic on the left, learned on the right). Hover or tap any cell for its info. Cells with a → have their own page.
