Horizontal runs order → chaos, vertical runs wire (trajectory) → field (mist). Find the feeling you want, click the point, and you get a complete generation prompt for that spot. Paste it into any AI, then paste the returned code into Pattern Lab.
Verified — mainland — passed hardware and taste
Exploring — ground being walked right now — a pattern exists, the verdict does not
On hold — ambiguous verdict — worth a second attempt
Uncharted — land that exists only on the chart — nobody has walked it yet
Abandoned — dropped — it disappointed when walked, or does not look worth the walk, or the device cannot hold it
Invented — AI-authored hypotheses — real mathematics nobody has walked yet
Pin — a published pattern, placed by its author
Off-continent lenses (post-processing you can lay over any point): schlieren (∇ render) · conformal warps (z², 1/z, log z) · depth weighting. One extra line in the prompt.
Every position is a taste hypothesis. Turn on [Edit layout], drag points where they belong, then [Copy layout] to export — that is how the map grows.
