Here is an experiment with reprocessing, replacing the paper after a 90 degree rotation each time. |
We see a picture processed once, then similarly prepared pictures reprocessed 1 through 4 times. |
Before each reprocessing, the top paper is rotated 90 degrees from its previous orientation. |
Click each picture for a magnified view in a new window. |

Certainly, couting the number of branches is too difficult, and least by eye. |
Nevertheless, the visual complexity of the image increases even after the first reprocessing, and this trend may continue, though not very markedly, with successive reprocessings. |
Note that reprocessing with rotation breaks many of the longer branches into smaller segments. |
Also note the width of the ridges becomes more uniform with reprocessing. (This is not seen in reprocessing without rotation.) |
