TOTALITY

BY REI

Umbraphile Universe

TOTALITY is an active, generative NFT project with a collection of 1,919 uniquely generative art composed of 18 distinct chaotic systems that each develop their own characteristics of 3,840,000,000 combinations

TOTALITY's artwork synthesizes methodical art using trigonometry cipher written on R programming language typically used in statistical computing



#UMBRAPHILE

noun

The term, describes one who loves eclipses, often travelling to see them.

Design Inspiration

Limit Cycles Oscillations

Inspired by Limit Cycles Oscillations in Dynamical Systems, Totality's artwork is generatively drawn on a two-dimensional phase space in a closed trajectory having it's trajectory spirals into either infinity or negative infinity.

Similarly to Limit Cycles, Totality's artwork consists of stable, unstable, and semi-stable limit cycles oscillations with a spherical structure emerged from its chaotic systems, considering a dynamic system with a chaotic system is locally unstable yet globally stable with its trajectory spirals diverge/converge with another but never deviate from its spherical structure.

Solar Eclipse

Totality art designs consists of stars, solar eclipse, gravitational force, and magnetic fields and many more.

Below are a few examples of Totality's artwork

Solar Prominence

A Solar Prominence, is referred to a filament when viewed against the solar disk, is a large, bright, gaseous, feature extending outward from the Sun's surface, often in a loop shape. Prominence are anchored to the Sun's surface in the photosphere, and extend outwards into the Solar Corona.

Baily's Beads

The Baily's beads effect or diamond ring effect is a feature of total and annular solar eclipses. As the Moon covers the Sun during a solar eclipse, the rugged topography of the lunar limb allows beads of sunlight to shine through in some places while not in others.

Technical Description

Example of Limit Cycles in Non-Linear Systems

Where

min x = -5, max x = 5

min y = -5, max y =5



x'=x-y-x^3-x*y^2

y'=x+y-x^2*y-y^3

Example of Totality Art

The example is inspired by the Limit Cycles, which can be visualized as an Eclipse with a tinge of Chaos, which can be imagined as Solar Prominences of the Sun emerging dense clouds of incandescent ionized gas to protect from the Sun's chromosphere into the corona.

The curvature trajectories that converges into the spherical structure can be seen as magnetic fields manifesting in the void of our overall universe.



Created by the following algorithm:

p - Polarity of closed trajectory spirals into infinity or negative infinity

x - Horizontal Variation

y - Vertical Variation

d - Density of the convergence/divergence of trajectory spirals

cv - Chaos Variation

ca - Chaos Amplifier

trigo - Trigonometric Identities

Where

x axis = p * x^d - trigo(y^cv) * ca

x axis = p * x^d - trigo(y^cv) * ca

x axis = p * x^d - trigo(y^cv) * ca

y axis = p * y^d - trigo(x^cv) * ca


Note: Not all Totality art are using same algorithm

Design Animations

Active Rotation

Totality's artwork animation is inspired by the polarity reversals that occurs on our Earth, Jupiter, and Saturn, where magnetic fields can become unstable and the polarity would be reversed changing the planet's life and climate.

Totality's artwork rotational direction is determined by the polarity of the x and y axis, where the polarities competes itself of which would be dominant. The dominant polarity decides the rotational direction of each Totality's artwork

Magnetic Storms

Inspired by the magnetic storms which is caused by a strong surge of solar wind which disturbs the outer part of the Earth's magnetic field causing a complex oscillation, generating electric currents and magnetic field variations.

Totality's artwork is infused with a active rotation that is created by integrating a scaling function in ggplot2. This randomly create a surge on the x-axis on the decided the rotational direction by the dominant polarity. This surge can be understood as unusual and mysterious, like in our milky way.

FAQ

What is Generative Art?

Generative Arts are designs generated, composed, or constructed through computer software algorithms, or similar mathematical, or mechanical autonomous processes.

The common forms of generative arts are graphics that visually represents complex processes, music, or language-based compositions like poetry.

Other applications include architectural design, models for understanding sciences such as evolution, and artificial intelligence systems.

What is Totality's 1,919 quantity inspiration?

On May 29, 1919, the solar eclipse affirmed the prediction of Einstein’s theory of general relativity, ascribing gravity to a warp in the geometry of space-time, that gravity could bend light beams.

How much will Totality's artwork cost?

Presale Mint Price: 0.0919Ξ each

Launch Mint Price: 0.1919Ξ each

Why you should hold Totality artworks?

Totality's one of a kind artwork is written, generated, and animated in R programming language. Which sets us apart from previous generative art projects that commonly uses JavaScript library p5js. This also means there are NO post-processings (Photoshop, After Effects, or any third-party software effects) involved. Totality's artwork effects are 100% authentically achieved by code.

By holding Totality artwork, grants holders access to exclusive discord channel where in-depth knowledge sharing of artistry, creative process of generating art, and technology development such as NFT generation, Front-end & Backend development, off-chain whitelisting, and smart contract development.

And lastly, by holding Totality's artwork, we will be redistributing reflection rewards to all Totality artwork holders. Totality is totally about you. The more Totality artwork you hold, the more rewards will you earn (ETH) for being a supporter of our community!

Totality x Aritsts x Metaverse

Totality would love to collaborate with other digital artists to enhance our NFT art be it hand-drawn or generative art using AI models. Which would eventually contribute into building our metaverse.

I am following very closely to Mark Zuckerberg's Metaverse plan 🌐
Keeping you guys updated towards a bigger future via Twitter!
