Two Symbols Draw an Endless Maze

BEHIND THE WORK

Two symbols grow an endless-looking maze.

Begin with the words 0 and 01. Each new Fibonacci word appends the previous two: Fₙ = Fₙ₋₁Fₙ₋₂. The drawing point moves one equal step for every symbol. A 0 adds an alternating 90-degree turn; a 1 continues straight. After 22 iterations, one unbroken line contains 46,368 connected steps and repeats its structure at larger scales.

Artismathic turns equations into visual art—one function at a time.
