# Ribbons v6 — Flower dotted

The bloom disintegrates into beads: soft dots trace petal paths that keep re-folding as the symmetry count flickers between values.

The bloom comes apart into beads: soft dots sketch petal paths that never close
into a solid strip, warm and cool hues splitting across the cluster as it
turns.

It is the same centre-rotating fan as the other blooms, but the fold divisor is
read from a stepped cycle whose index is jittered by a large travelling sine,
so the symmetry flickers rather than settles. With the fan span doubled to a
full turn and the stamps landing far enough apart, the strip decomposes into
separate beads — under-sampling used as texture.
