A generative art system that uses Lindenmayer systems (L-systems) as painting instructions, rendered as dot compositions with p5.js.

L-systems are a mathematical formalism developed by biologist Aristid Lindenmayer to model organic growth. They work by applying simple rules recursively — each iteration expanding on the last — to produce complex, evolving structures from minimal starting conditions.

This project repurposes that mechanism as an abstract compositional tool.
