Reprocessing Experiments - With Rotation

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.)
