You're apprenticed to one book, and your job is to bring its teaching into our painterly pixel-art medium for voxsim, a simulation of Washington State around 1700: **Rex Vicat Cole, *The Artistic Anatomy of Trees*, with Hallé, Oldeman & Tomlinson, *Tropical Trees and Forests: An Architectural Analysis***.

The file is at ~/work/pixelart-studies/library/trees/artisticanatomyo1915cole.pdf and ~/work/pixelart-studies/library/purchased/Tropical trees and forests  an architectural analysis (Hallé, Francis, Hallé-Oldeman).pdf. Hallé's text is in ~/work/pixelart-studies/library/text/.

Two complementary model systems. Cole shows a painter how each tree's form follows from its structure: branching by species, how foliage masses group, bark, silhouettes and seasons, in 300 diagrams. Hallé–Oldeman give the botanist's architectural models: a small number of growth plans that generate a species' whole form, and how architecture changes as a tree ages and reiterates.

Where it matters: Washington conifers and broadleaves (Douglas-fir, hemlock, cedar, Sitka spruce, subalpine fir, larch, alder, maple, madrone, Garry oak) in the canopy and treeline studies, and in voxsim's tree species. Those are now data in the content packs (~/work/voxsim-wt/platform/docs/PACKS.md), so your models could become how species are specified.

**Why books.** The studio's best work (the elk and deer study, ~/work/artschool/posts/deer-elk/) succeeded by building on finished expert analysis: Muybridge's plates, a naturalist's measured guide. Natural scientists and naturalist painters spent careers building model systems of how nature looks and how to draw it economically and truthfully. Your book is one of those. Read it as an apprentice, not a skimmer.

**The work:**

1. **Read the whole book closely, and look at every plate and diagram.** The drawings are the teaching. Write down the book's model: its principles, rules, procedures and vocabulary, in its own terms, with page references.
2. **Translate it into pixels, one principle at a time, bottom-up.** For each principle, do a small exercise:
   - master-copy the book's own diagram or plate at our scales (close scene ~0.1 m/px, landscape, 30° iso, region ~1 m/px);
   - then find the pixel method that carries the same truth;
   - compare at 8× against the book's plate and against real photos.

   Some principles won't carry, and some need rethinking for pixels. Say which and why.
3. **Test it where it matters.** Apply the method to the real subjects it's for (listed below), on real photos, on the place lanes' renders, or on other students' scenes, and show before | after beside the reference.
4. **Leave it usable.** The method as parameterised code, and a clear statement of the rules other students and the voxsim lanes can apply.

**The art school.** Read it first and mine it deeply (~/work/artschool/posts/, https://graunked.github.io/artschool/): its students' tutorials and process stories show how the good work happened. You're a me

# The studio library: model systems

The elk and deer student succeeded largely because it didn't start from raw photos. It started from finished analysis:

- Muybridge's frame-by-frame plates;
- the naturalist's "four things that make a 6-pixel elk read".

Natural scientists used to be trained to draw: a geologist could draw a flake, an outcrop or a fold with economy and truth. Naturalist painting guides were built on the same scientific understanding. This library collects those traditions so studies can start where the experts finished, instead of doing a geology PhD from photographs.

**How to use it:**

- Before drawing, find your subject's model system here (or online, below) and read it closely.
- Then build on it, the way the elk student built on Muybridge.
- Open the PDFs and look at the plates; the drawings are the point.

Refetch anything missing with `./fetch.sh` (resumable). Files are also mirrored in S3 under `voxsim/shared/library/`.

# Four giants, tier by tier

*The conifers student, writing the day after. The study ran one night, Friday 25 September 2026, from 23:00 to about 01:30: 2 h 24 min of my own working time, 223 steps, 91 images looked at. Images numbered `nbNNN` are ones I opened while working, numbered as in [the notebook](../../notebooks/conifers/notebook.md). Several were overwritten on disk later, so the notebook is the only place they survive. Images named `t…` were made today by [`code/figs.py`](code/figs.py) with the study's own painter, to show things I only half-saw that night. What I learned, shaped for teaching, is in [TUTORIAL.md](TUTORIAL.md).*

The brief: learn to paint the great Pacific Northwest conifers — Douglas-fir, western hemlock, western redcedar and Sitka spruce — as individuals and as forest, in Mark Ferrari's pixel language. See how far a student can go past voxsim's existing trees, which David had called perfect. The subject list was specific: hemlock's drooping leader and weeping sprays, cedar's buttressed, fluted base and fanned sprays, old Douglas-fir's deep-furrowed bark and layered crown, and the stiff blue-green rainforest spruce. It had to be delivered as code with parameters, plus labelled sheets sweeping species × age × hour × distance × seed.

The short version. The best thing I made is a mixed stand at real heights, relit across four hours by nothing but a palette swap.

![sheet E](img/E_stand_x_hour.png)

*Sheet E: one index canvas, four palettes. The second critic called golden and dusk "the studio's best forest images".*

The technique that made it work is one line of arithmetic. It came from a critic's first note, and I'd have missed it on my own for a long time: **light the tops of the tiers, not the sun-side half of the tree.** The things that didn't work are at the end: the iso forest, and two of the four barks.

---

## 1. Before painting: an hour of reading

I read before I touched a pixel, because the studio had done a lot of work already and I'd rather steal than rediscover.

**The willow student** (`elements/willow/LESSONS.md` and `CRITIQUE.md`) was the model I was pointed at. It went master copy, then a single bush in grey, then stems, leaves, colour and clumps. Two things from it shaped my night:

- **The clump grammar.** Foliage is a heap of lit-capped clumps, and the clumps are laid out as a light field, never painted directly.
- **The critic's steer in its round 5:** judge a leaf's form against photos of the plant, and use Ferrari only for craft. That's now the studio's rule. It freed me to stop copying his spruce once I'd learned its grammar.

**SYNTHESIS.md** had a line on conifers from master copy's C1: "1-px spire, drooping spurs lengthening downward, lit dabs on sun-side tips." The master-copy LESSONS gave numbers: a 1-px spire for about 4 rows, tiers every 4–5 rows, half-width about 1 + 0.15·d, 15–20% holes. The analysis student's material table had "conifer: black 61%, ochre fleck 22%, dark 14%

# Ready to use: the second studio (2026-09-26 night)

These are the techniques the second studio critic judged Ferrari-grade or ready to use. The critic ran 10 rounds on eight students, looking at 4–10× crops beside the students' photos and Ferrari's own pixels. Each item points to the student's folder, where the code, the lessons and the closing read in CRITIQUE.md live. Offered to the voxsim painting lanes as a resource, not a spec. None of the eight sets is at Ferrari's bar at 8× across the board; every student's "Where it stands" says so, and I agree with each of them.

**Masses first, for ground** (elements/ground: LESSONS "The rules to take even without the code"; sheets B and F; drop-in `ground.paint_ground(..., shadow_mask=)`). This is the studio's first answer to READY.md's main open problem.

- Decide two to four designed lit and shadow masses first, from off-frame casters and the landform.
- Keep shadow near black with 2–3 values, and put the colour in the light.
- Marks go inside a mass and never cross the terminator, except as a fringe of tips.
- Use ordered 2×2 dither for mid and far turns. Use runs only near.
- Best images: `sheets/F_scenes.png` (meadow bank, golden) and `sheets/B_landform_x_sun.png` (hummocks and contre-jour).

**Zoom handoff without pops** (elements/grass-lod: LESSONS §1–2, 6). Each tuft gets one stroke-size number, and every discrete choice is dithered against the tuft's own random numbers. Checked frame by frame across 100× zoom at four hours. The pan test and pop metric are reusable for any material.

**Conifers** (elements/conifers; best: `sheets/E_stand_x_hour.png`, `F_zoom_strips_1x.png`)

- Four PNW species at four ages with naturalist-grade form: nodding hemlock, cedar J-limbs with fluted buttress and candelabra, spruce curtains, the old Douglas-fir pillar.
- **Tier-top light** from V16: light on the upper surface of every tier on both sides of the stem, not on the sun-side half.
- Side-view stand relit at four hours by palette alone.

**Broadleaves** (elements/broadleaf; best: `stage5/contact_v7.png`, sheet A)

- Pacific madrone and Garry oak crowns. The oak comes from per-species elbow kinks and open crowns with limbs showing in the holes.
- Bark and moss: the checker-banded cylinder read from V30 ("pure / 50% / pure, never non-adjacent steps"), a moss sheath with drips and a seam, madrone peel.
- An LOD rule with no vanishing: a clump always emits a spray, and a spray always emits a mark.
- Phenology specific to each species.

**Sagebrush steppe** (elements/steppe; best: `hero/sage_flat_golden_3x.png`, `stage5/seasons_final`)

                             PREFACE
In teaching, as I understand it, one must assume that the student
knows nothing.    When one has overcome the disagreeable feeling that
this assumption implies, that of being set up on one's own little pedestal,
one is able to be of more use than if one attempted to dovetail bits of
knowledge into those that have already been acquired. This is more
particularly the case when compiling a book that has to meet the
needs of students in various stages of proficiency.        My standpoint,
then, for which I must apologise, is that the reader knows but little
of draughtsmanship, and nothing of the construction of trees.
    I cannot understand the position of some who assert that an object
can be painted in a convincing manner without its mechanism being
understood. Would they come through the test of having to draw a
yacht or a locomotive, or would they shuffle out of the difficulties by
saying they only wished to give the " feeling " that impressed them ?
I doubt whether the feeling alone would please the yachtsman, mechanic,
or artist.   At this stage I shall be accused of saying that correctness
is the chief aim of the artist, when it is but a little part.  Most of the
greatest artists, if judged by the photographic standard, have drawn
incorrectly.                                    —
               This is a fact I delight in, since Gloving their work and
                                                 —
yet confessing to a certain pleasure in accuracy ^I find I am sufficient
artist myself to recognise those finer qualities that can dispense with
exactness without loss of merit.    Sailors tell me that Turner's " Fight-
ing Temeraire " could not have fought

4-Stifulefi. —In a Beech wood in Spring, when the hmp young leaves
5-are losing their silver fringe, the ground beneath is strewn with the
6-brown, shrivelled, leaf-hke forms that have protected them as they
7-came out of the bud. These are the stipules they fall as soon as;
8-the leaves develop. Those of the Beech are not remarkable for beau-
9-tiful colour or interesting form but in some other cases they are of
10-;
11-larger size and are brightly coloured in fact, they play a very orna-
12-;
13-mental part in the Spring-time gala. The Norway Maple plays first
14-fiddle with its scarlet stipules, and is well supported by the Sycamore
15-and Field Maple with theirs of pink and rose, and the Hornbeam and
16-Wych Elm with shades of purple those of the Beech, Elm, and Lime
17-;
18-are brown in colour and membranous. On some trees, entertaining
19-shapes replace gay colouring, and we see the stipules mimicking leaves,
20-it may be only as far as showing a notched tip or, in other cases,
21-;
22-the stipular forms are really leaf-like in colour, form, and texture.
23-Those on the Walnut tree, Guelder-Rose, Hawthorn, and Plane (ID us. 158,
24-p. 307) are interesting for the various formations they illustrate. Holly
25-stipules are minute, and take the unusual colour of black. Stipules may
26-be divided roughly into two divisions (1) Those acting like the scales
27-:
28-in protecting the young leaves in the bud ; and either falling when
29-the bud bursts or in early life lengthening with the leaves and falling
30-after they are developed. (2) Leaf-like persistent appendages at the
31-base of the leaf- stalks of matured leaves. These last are usually green
32-in colour —
33-they differ in shape on individual and even the same
34-;
35-trees, though the same forms will be found repeated on other indi-
36-viduals of the same species. The stipules at the base of the leaf -stalk
37-are usually in pairs — one on either side of the stalk — or are united
38-so that they form a cup round the stalk. Stipules formed on the
39-latter plan are conspicuous in the young growth of a Plane tree making ;
40-a sort of vase with a frilled recurved lip, from which the young leaves
41-spring. On some trees there are no stipules.

The Layered Forest Chapter 5 Forests and Vegetation A. The Architecture of Forest Plots Architecture is a concept that can be applied not only to individual plants or their parts, but to all living systems. For example, it has been used by Rollet (1974) to indicate the population charac¬ teristics of forests, whereby mathematical relationships are expressed graphically. In our use of the term, architecture has been referred to momentary form com¬ plexes, and the processes which determine the change from one architectural phase to another have been represented by a growth model. It is useful to speak of forest architecture and sylvigenetic model by analogy with tree architecture and the tree model, with reference to their differ¬ ences of scale and controlling factors. In a single tree, the model includes a set of axes organized according to the differenti¬ ation sequence. This sequence is what the tree has in excess of the mere sum of its axes, i.e., what distinguishes it from an arbitrary collection of axes. At the scale of the forest, the model includes a set of trees aggregated as vegetation by inter¬ action between a diversified set of trees. This coherent diversification, which has been expounded in the preceding sections on trees of the present, the future and the past, is what the forest has in excess of the mere sum of its trees, i.e., what distinguishes it from a collection of arbi¬ trarily chosen trees. In the present chapter we look at forest architecture of an area sufficiently small to be capable of analysis because it repre¬ sents a uniform architectural phase. Our method is quite unstatistical, just as it was for individual trees, where not the aver¬ age, but the rare tree was studied, con¬ forming to and so revealing its initial mo¬ del. Intact architecture is less easy to de¬ tect at first sight in forests than in individ¬ ual trees, and indeed, of the examples presented later in this chapter nearly all show some aberrant features. In this respect, it might have been some help to study tree plantations which are artificially homogeneous, but no such cul¬ tures were established in French Guiana where the analytical method originated. Some of the schematic diagrams from the treatise on temperate sylviculture by Houtzagers (1956), representing techni¬ cal sketches of planted forest before thin¬ ning or harvesting, effectively correspond to simplified versions of the natural tem¬ perate forest, e.g., that represented by Figure 102. The size of the natural forest plots examined in this chapter has been empiri¬ cally determined, and coincides rather well with the smallest sample (plot or “station”) in statistically oriented vegeta¬ tion analysis as for example by Godron (1971), although here we do not establish plot size by a statistical method. In a plot of 20 X 30 m, in tropical rain-forests with maximum tree heights of between 30 and 50 m, and considering only those trees higher than 10 m, two important factors were evident. The fir

arrangement confers dorsiventral symmetry. In many trees the phyllotaxis of the adult parts is constant for all shoots; erect shoots with a spiral or decussate leaf arrangement preserve the radial symmetry of their primary leaf orientation but may lose it on their horizontal shoots by secondary orientation or by differential growth of leaves (e.g., Anisophyllea disticha) (Fig. 11) so that we may speak of secondary dorsiventrality, a topic discussed in detail by Massart (1923). These secondary changes which can reorientate either the blade or the whole leaf can be due to twisting of petioles (e.g., Coffea), to differential elongation of petioles (Acer), or to the activity of pulvini (e.g., Theobroma and other Sterculiaceae, many Leguminosae) or to the twisting of internodes (horizontal shoots with decussate leaves; many Myrtaceae) or from various combinations of these processes. Individual leaves then become orientated into a position appropriate for presumed maximum photosynthetic activity, i.e., at right angles to the incident light, which in the forest is mainly from above. The leaves on horizontal shoots are then always arranged in one plane, regardless of their primary orientation in the bud. Secondary dorsiventrality is achieved very commonly in many members of the Rubiaceae in which leaves are predominantly decussate (but sometimes verticillate, i.e., whorled), but in which all leaf pairs on horizontal shoots rotate into one plane by twisting of internodes, as in Coffea. A series of illustrations which show this realignment in Tachia guianensis Aubl. (Gentianaceae) is shown in Figure 3 A, B. In the gymnosperms a spiral or whorled leaf arrangement is constant, but on horizontal shoots a marked dorsiventrality is achieved by secondary leaf orientation (Abies, Picea), sometimes with the addiChapter 2 Branching: Dynamics Elements of Tree Architecture tion of anisophylly (e.g., Tsuga canadensis). Radial symmetry is sometimes reached by an unusual phyllotaxis. In monocotyledons the distichy is often twisted (spirodistichous), this being so pronounced in species of Cordyline (Agavaceae) that a radial symmetry results. In Pandanus the phyllotaxis is essentially but this is not precise and mutual shading of leaves is reduced by additional twist, hence the common name “screw-pine” for such plants. Distichous leaves are rare in the orthotropic shoots of woody monocotyledons, but where they occur and are large the shoots are very striking (e.g., Ravenala and other Strelitziaceae; a few palms like Oenocarpus distichus and Wallichia disticha). In many bamboos the tall culms have a distichous leaf arrangement. Distichy is uncommon in erect shoots of dicotyledons; Annonaceae possibly provide exceptions, others are to be looked for in young Campnosperma trees (Anacardiaceae), most of the species of the genus Erythroxylon (Erythroxylaceae), and some Myrtaceae.

# The great Pacific Northwest conifers, after Mark Ferrari: lessons

A student's log. Subject: Douglas-fir, western hemlock, western redcedar and Sitka spruce, as
individuals and as forest, from 1-cm needles to a 2.5 m/px iso region.

**Code** (all in this folder; numpy only, `nice -n 10`, one BLAS thread):

| file | what it is |
|---|---|
| `grow.py` | the four species grown as geometry in metres: trunk (lean, taper, buttress flare, flutes, hemlock's nodding leader), limbs in whorls or scattered with species droop / J-hook upturn, secondary *fans* on mature and old limbs, old-crown gaps, dead stubs, cedar candelabra leaders and silver spike tops. Species and age tables (`SP`, `AGE`) are the parameters. |
| `foliage_fast.py` | the foliage *elements* (fronds, strands, brush tufts, spurs, needle fill, coarse-scale area fill), vectorized (10-25x faster than the loop version `grow._foliage_slow`, which it matches; `tmp/vectorize_check.png`). |
| `paint.py` | the painter: light per foliage point, rasterize body + stroke marks, value plan, quantize to an index canvas (material, step), wood surfaces with bark patterns. |
| `palette.py` | the palette is the light: 8-step foliage ramps (shadow family 0-3, lit family 4-7) per species x hour x aerial depth; wood, ground and sky ramps. |
| `conifer.py` | public API: `tree(...)`, `stand(...)` (depth-composited stands with one shared shadow map and a ground plane with cast shadows). |
| `sheets.py` | the labelled parameter sheets in `sheets/`. |
| `tree.py`, `render.py`, `s0_copy.py`, `s0_tune.py`, `stats.py`, `lw.py` | stage 0 (the master copy), frozen as its regression. |
| `s1_*.py` ... `s5_bark.py` | one script per study stage; `cmp.py` side-by-side helpers; `cmp_voxtrees.py`. |

Photos: `refs/` (fetched with the studio's imgfetch; each folder has a `_sheet.jpg` contact
sheet). The ones I leaned on: the Hoh hemlock against sky
(`Tsuga_heterophylla/commons_Hoh_Rainforest_...`), the open-grown Sitka spruce
(`Douglas_fir_tree_crown/openverse_Sitka_Spruce_b36ebb43.jpg`), Big Lonely Doug
(`lone_Douglas_fir_tree/openverse_Big_Lonely_Doug_97f10fa9.jpg`), the ancient cedar
(`western_redcedar_candelabra_top/openverse_Thuja_plicata_..._ancient_form_...`), the Willapa cedar
bole, and the naturalist desk's guides (`~/work/naturalist/plants/02-trees.md`, `05-old-growth.md`),
which gave me real heights (mature 40-60 m, old 60-75 m), the bark and foliage colours, and the
single most useful sentence for a painter: *every hemlock's tip nods over like

# output:
## A species file


name = "douglas fir"          # the agent name; defaults to the file name, dashes as spaces
aliases = []                  # other names that resolve to it (renderer lookups)

Every section is optional; a species exists for a consumer only if it has
that consumer's section (a plant with `[sim]` but no `[look]` grows in the
sim and is drawn by vox-paint's own sprites, like meadows today).

`based_on` merges tables key by key (deep), so `based_on = "spruce"` plus
`[look.colour] leaf = "..."` changes only the needle colour. `name` and
`aliases` never inherit. Chains are fine; cycles are errors.

Units: the sim works in voxels (0.5 m) for heights and radii (`max_h = 120`
is 60 m), years for ages, metres per second, degrees Celsius. The look works
in metres and radians (it takes the tree's real size from the sim).

### `[sim]` (vox-flora traits)

The fields of `vox_flora::species::Species`, all optional except `form`,
defaults as in the source:

| field | meaning |
|---|---|
| `form` | `broadleaf`, `conifer`, `bush`, `herb`, `reed`, `meadow`, `moss`, `fungus`, `crop`, `aquatic`, `deadwood` |
| `max_h`, `max_cr` | mature height, crown radius (voxels) |
| `photo`, `t_opt`, `t_width`, `frost_active`, `frost_dormant` | growth rate multiplier, temperature optimum/width, frost limits (C) |
| `moist`, `wet_tol`, `shade_tol` | preferred soil moisture 0..1, waterlogging tolerance, shade tolerance |
| `deciduous`, `fruit`, `fruit_name` | `fruit` is an item (`"nuts"`, `"berries"`, `"seeds"`, ...) |
| `wind_seeds`, `spores`, `clonal`, `thorny`, `resinous`, `tannins`, `toxic`, `n_fix`, `browse`, `rock`, `acid` | flags |
| `alt` | relative altitude band `[lo, hi]` (0 shore .. 1 highest land) |
| `near_water` | max distance to water (voxels) for water-lovers, 0 = any |
| `lifespan_years`, `mature_years`, `spacing`, `abundance`, `color` | placement: min spacing (voxels), weight where suitable |
| `wood_density`, `rupture_mpa`, `rooting` | mechanics: green density kg/m3, modulus of rupture MPa, anchorage multiplier |
| `stump_sprouts`, `pioneer`, `mycorrhizal` | resprouts from a fallen trunk / stump; keeps 40% on young volcanic soil; hosts chanterelles |

### `[growth]` (vox-flora growth grammar)

The fields of `vox_flora::form::Arch` (Hallé-Oldeman style architecture:
habit, fork height, limbs, angles, gravitropism, branching, foliage clusters,
colours of the voxel body). Unset fields default per `form`
(`Arch::for_form`: conifers start excurrent, whorled, cone profile). The
base species files are the worked exam

# The model: Cole (1915) and Hallé–Oldeman–Tomlinson (1978), in their own terms

Two books, read whole and looked at plate by plate (Cole: all 412 scanned pages as contact sheets in
`pages/cole3/`, figures zoomed where they carry the teaching; Hallé: the full text in
`library/text/`, and the plates of the illustrated key, the model descriptions I use, reiteration
and the forest profiles, `pages/halle/`). Page numbers are the books' own printed pages.
"Fig." and "Illus." are the books' own numbering. Where I paraphrase I stay in their vocabulary;
where I add a reading of my own it is marked **[mine]**.

The two books are one model seen from two ends. Cole is a painter who went to the botanists because
"the result looks generally unlike a tree" when the mechanism is not understood (p. 147). Hallé is a
botanist who found that a small number of growth programs generate a species' whole form. Cole's
Part II is, unknowingly, a sketch of Hallé's architecture (bud arrangement → branch plan → outline);
Hallé has nothing to say about light, edge, value or distance, which is most of Cole's Part I.
So: **Hallé tells you what the tree is; Cole tells you what it looks like, and why.**

---

## Part A. Cole, *The Artistic Anatomy of Trees*

Cole's aim, stated in the preface and again at p. 45: construction is not wanted "for a display of
learning", but because a painter who knows the type can paint the individual with freedom and keep
"the feeling of greatness" while drawing piece by piece. Knowledge of structure "gives to our
drawing an almost unconscious variety of light and shade" (p. 110).

### A1. Seeing: masses, spaces, balance (Ch. II–III, pp. 47–68)

- **Balance of the individual** (p. 47, Figs. 1–5). A leaning or curving trunk still carries its
  foliage over its base. On slopes trunks lean slightly *uphill* ("rake to aft" of a mast, Fig. 4);
  downhill lean looks wrong. Overhanging trees look balanced because their heavy boughs rise from
  the upper side. Exposed roots are "a stand"; a bole buried flush looks "shoved in like the
  flowersticks in our garden" (p. 49). The lines that tie bole to ground — roots, contact shadows,
  sharp-edged ground light between trunks — carry poise.
- **Single tree vs. mass** (pp. 49–51). A lone tree is read as pattern and line (stem traced to "a
  haze of twigs at the apex"); the isolated thing is focused more sharply and expected to be more
  exact. **Massed trees: one depth of colour; tones taken from one end or the middle of the scale,
  never both ends (Fig. 9)**; "some severity in the outline — a gimped edge (Fig. 10) is not conducive
  to grandeur". Massed trees seen from a height "look spotty and detached": paint them in long
  shadow, contre-jour, cloud shadow, or shafts of light, when detail is lost in flat tone.
- **Nature as spaces of light and dark** (p. 56, Figs. 14–24). A tree and its cast shadow are *one*
  dark shape (Figs. 14–15). Two trees of like tone are one form (16–17). Under uniform light, trees,
  ground and figure merge and "it is the space of grey between them that attracts attention" (18).
  Reflection doubles a dark (19). **Even spacing is to be avoided (Figs. 20–21, 25–26)**; exactly
  equal dark and light is too formal, total imbalance worse.
- **Draw the spaces first** (p. 59, Figs. 27–28, Illus. 11). For a row of trunks, draw the sky and
  ground spaces between them, then redraw the trunks left behind. A pine wood in flat light is "as
  wearisome as the bare hop poles of Kent"; low sun spaces the stems into lit, grey and dark.
- **Scale** (pp. 59–63). Equal small trees in open country look like figures on a stage (Fig. 29).
  Cut trees off at the frame (Fig. 31). A sapling beside a trunk gives the trunk its girth (Fig. 34).
  A bare larch stem "merely seems terribly tall"; an ash's branches divide it into measurable lengths.
- **Masses and delicacy** (pp. 63–64, Illus. 13–14). Decided masses against indefinite ones; a
  thinly clad tree in front of a massed one either contrasts sharply or blurs its edge into sky; "a
  great space of indefinite form can be balanced by a small distinct one".
- **The distance ladder** (pp. 64–68; Figs. 35–39). This is the single most important passage for us.
  - *Far:* "rendered flat in tone by the atmosphere, … recognised by the pattern it makes against the
    sky … an oblong, a semicircle, a cone". Elm = border of straight lines; beech = "undecided edges
    of loose sprays"; Lombardy poplar a sentinel among squat oaks; **"There is no edge to the Larch
    wood — just a haze; … the upright lines of the trunks show as faint streaks of grey"**. Skyline
    groups are "architectural"; woods fix the contours of hills; plantations step down behind a hill.
    Not "a number of monotonous dots which serve no purpose".
  - *Middle:* local colour shows through the air (ash lighter than sycamore, elm, oak; pinewoods "a
    startling patch of dark"); and **species now show inside the tree as well as at its edge: "The
    shadows between the foliage may alone betray the species; in some they are sharp and dark, in
    others faint and confused, massed or detached, forming lines consistently in one direction or
    another."** Beech: thin layers and detached spiked sprays; lime: heavier layers, drooping curves;
    oak: tufted, star-shaped projections; sycamore/plane: massed sharp-edged; poplar: dotted leaves;
    willow: blurred edges. Direction of the chief branches and the junctions can be followed.
  - *Near:* individual traits, wind, the treatment of twigs and leaves against the sky; "a single leaf
    may look as large as a distant tree".

### A2. The tree against the sky (Ch. IV, pp. 69–81)

The edge (pp. 69–71, Illus. 18): "no part of it is quite sharply defined, and there is a great
variety in the intensity of definitiveness." Reasons: foreshortened leaves at the margin, light
passing on either side, far-side tips seen through, stalks invisible. Lowest hanging leaves are
"much more distinct, and usually darker".

The rules for sky holes, which he states as a list (p. 71):

1. **The extreme margins of holes in foliage are diffused and colourless** — "not sharp, dark, or
   bright coloured".
2. **Small sky spaces appear as circular lights with diffused edges, the strongest light in the
   centre** ("globes").
3. **Holes veiled by small leaves and twigs are darker than the open sky.**
4. **Local colour is strongest in the centre of the largest masses**; the edge is less coloured than
   the bulk.
5. **The upper or lower edge of a foliage group is sharp or indistinct according to which projects
   in front** — "it explains the formation of the branches".
6. Small leaves (elm) vs. large (sycamore), narrow (willow) vs. broad (alder), spaced (black poplar)
   vs. close (oak) make completely different edges (Illus. 19–26).

Leafless trees (p. 78): a **border haze of little twigs "scarcely differing from the colour of the
sky"**, inside it a closer network that veils, and against the veil "the exquisite lines of the
larger boughs can be clearly traced". Winter holes are irregular, bounded by boughs.

Patterns of holes (pp. 78–80, Figs. 40–41): shaped by the habit of the species; **"construct these
patterns clearly, in fact to draw the mass of the tree by them"** (Corot places them on a preconceived
pattern). Holes are linked into chains — by small lights, or by "a strong edge, where massed foliage
ends at the light", carried to the next — so the mass is not "cut up into meaningless sections".
The opposite also has its place: in a half-grown ash, "grey or dark spots of unequal size, but of
equal value interspersed with the sky" (Illus. 27). Clausen's warning: trees "all cut out at the
edges, like trees on a stage"; see the tree as "a great dome, spreading up and rounding into the sky,
with the light showing on it and through it".

### A3. The outline (Ch. V, pp. 82–94)

Outline is not "a scallop" (Figs. 43–44). The map-of-England lesson (Figs. 45–46): draw the chief
curves and straight lines, not every inlet. Seven laws (pp. 82–83):

1. Chief lines are carried across breaks, picked up by one form after another (Figs. 47–48); the
   composing line can run along a *shadow* edge instead of the outline (Fig. 49).
2. There is a choice of chief line, and it changes with the hour (Figs. 50–55).
3. Insist on the line's distinguishing feature; don't let accidents interrupt it (Figs. 56–59):
   "how easy it is to miss just that straight bit that makes the curve look so buxom".
4. A line's value comes from contrast with another, and from repetition nearby.
5. Similar lines near one another beat dissimilar ones (the beech's recurved lower branches).
6. Lines weary without slight variation — "a qualified monotony"; ruled parallels are dreary.
7. **Straight lines = restraint, dignity, strength; slight curves = grace; circles = weight and
   "a coarse exuberance".** "The outline of a tree is made up of many straight lines. … **the
   comparative length of these straight pieces determine the character of the curve**" (p. 92,
   Figs. 62–64). Elms are "outlined by straight-cut edges"; three or four straight lines cut the
   edges of all the main blocks (Figs. 65–66). A young fir's "oft repeated breaks" are displeasing,
   "far more so when the dentated edge is emphasized by a harsh outline" (Fig. 53).

### A4. Lines of the branches (Ch. VI, pp. 95–109)

- **Each species keeps one type of line**: small angle, large angle, slight curve, full curve, or
  elbow; "every twig is formed on the plan of its neighbour, and every bough is but a twig grown old"
  (pp. 99–100, Illus. 34–36: white poplar vs. blackthorn). Unity from the recurring type; variety
  from viewpoint, foreshortening, age, accident (Fig. 72).
- Mixing types is "complex and discordant" (Fig. 74); lines in one direction act as one line
  (Fig. 73, young oak); the matches exercise (Figs. 76–79): parallel but unequally spaced good;
  crossing anyhow bad; equal length and equidistant "impossible".
- Stems: a vertical start breaking into a short curve then a longer reversed one (Figs. 83–85); the
  accent at a junction makes two curves out of one; one outline of a bough runs continuous past a
  junction while the other is broken (Fig. 86). Birch: the long curve made of lesser ones — beginners
  make "a lumpy wriggle reminiscent of bent wire" (Figs. 81–82).
- **Pendent branches**: from the upper side, down, then up — "all the suggestion of a steel spring"
  (ash, Fig. 87, Illus. 39); in apple, oak, alder, thorn the same formation "becomes a firm elbow or
  crozier". Birch branches "loose straying" vs. the firm lines of ash (Illus. 40).

### A5. Light and shade on structure (Ch. VII, pp. 110–120)

- **Planes and a tone scale** (pp. 110–114, Figs. 91–92): "Each surface … would represent to our
  minds a definite tone reserved for it and for all other surfaces that were in a similar plane." A
  wide hollow takes four tones, a sharp furrow two. Twigs are not gaspipes but flat-sided, keeled
  (Figs. 93–94); junctions give flat lit spaces.
- **The clipped-yew exercise** (p. 114, Fig. 95): "Under the simple light of a grey sky the foliage
  of a tree can be considered and studied as the planes that construct a great dome"; one tone per
  plane; over-reaching forms catch a light not of their plane.
- **Sun is a second set of tones** (pp. 114–115): glitter and sunlit sprays "are an accident to be
  added to the bulk of the tree … otherwise we get all sparkle but no tree to hold it. … think of our
  tree as made up of a certain set of tones, and for the sunlit parts to use a new and lighter set,
  quite apart from the others."
- **Contre-jour** (p. 115): dark trunk and boughs against bright thin far-side leaves "of two or three
  tones according to their density"; near projecting groups dark and greyer from sky reflection;
  "rich green in the recesses" from leaf-to-leaf bounce; tops and edges lighter grey "as they recede
  round its dome". High sun: glitter at the apex and the low jutting ends. Branches crossing a bright
  gap "lose their edges and darkness and modelling, and become thin strips of undecided half tone"
  (also p. 45: "slender forms seen against the light appear more slender").
- **Bark varies the cylinder** (p. 115): smooth holly takes only its strip of light; fissured bark
  carries darks into the light and lights into the shadow; reflected light under horizontal boughs;
  cast shadows of small branches at junctions; give-and-take of edges against dark and light grounds.
- **Twig number** (p. 116): the twigs of a larch or birch "collectively would equal the girth of the
  parent boughs"; larch twigs "disappear in a haze while the Chestnut shoots stand detached".
- **Colour** (pp. 116–119): distance assimilates to sky; "each colour has its own grey"; full colour
  is usually *absent* where the strongest light falls (the lit parts reflect the sky), and colour is
  often strongest in shadowed hollows reinforced by reflection.

### A6. Situation, age, weather (Ch. VIII, pp. 121–132)

- Crowded trees: long clean trunk, weak lower boughs; free-grown: divides low, spreads; exposed:
  squat or straggling, or "shorn close by the wind like over-grown bushes"; crowded on one side,
  fills the other; road trees arch.
- **Age** (pp. 123–128): Scots/stone pine cone → "umbrella" (it cannot form new boughs below old
  ones, so tiers die upward leaving a bare trunk with stumps and nodes); larch keeps only the upper
  cone on "an immense bare trunk". **In well-grown trees each main bough ends in a straight line and
  these build the outline, with small sky spaces between them; later the spaces widen, gaps appear,
  symmetry is lost and "irregular or grotesque forms" come.** Young trees make long loose sprays;
  old ones "the closeness of multiplied forms".
- Wind (p. 128): species respond differently (birch bends, oak and alder defy, larch twigs swing in
  unison); pale undersides give each species its windy-day grey; coast trees are "transfixed in the
  act of movement" (p. 134).
- Snow and hoar frost (pp. 129–130); moonlight (pp. 130–132): level and vertical merge in one shadow;
  trees distinguished only "by the loss or comparative sharpness of the outline" — birch a haze,
  oak and elm "blank spaces of dark with straight-cut edges".

### A7. Recognition by outline (Ch. X–XI, pp. 147–159)

- We read things by outline and by the *texture of the outline* (thatch: indistinct edge; tile:
  sharp and dark). The cow is a straight back and a triangle; the man a knob and a lozenge (Figs.
  97–100): the painter indoors adds legs and faces that were never visible.
- **Outline follows from branch lengths** (pp. 151–153, Figs. 101–107): the leader grows faster than
  the laterals, so a young tree is a *cone* not a pyramid; if the lowest boughs keep growing, a cone
  or dome; if the middle ones outstrip, a circle (horse chestnut); if the upper, a pear (hornbeam,
  stone pine). **Each side branch is a reduced replica of the whole, but inclined: its lower
  branchlets lie in one flat plane, its tip spreads in many directions (Figs. 108–110). The gaps
  between branch extremities are "the second great characteristic of young trees"; with age they
  fill in** (Illus. 61).
- **Branch angle makes the species** (pp. 155–158): Lombardy poplar's acute angle confines all in a
  narrow cone, branches advancing "by steps" as outer branchlets take over (Fig. 111); black poplar,
  same leaves, wide angle, free-growing; oak: right angles, crowded, sturdy horizontal boughs, no
  underside branches (Fig. 113); ash: paired, spaced, upswept boughs with pendent branches; elm: few
  limbs dividing rapidly into many small twigs, so "each characteristic straight line of the outline
  is the termination of one bough"; beech: the twig's zigzag repeated in flat layers (Fig. 115).

### A8. Buds make branches (Ch. XII–XIV, pp. 160–198)

- A bud is a compressed shoot; each species follows one of six or seven plans (p. 160): **opposite
  decussate** (ash, maple, sycamore, horse chestnut, elder); **alternate two-ranked** (beech, elm,
  hazel, lime, hornbeam: "bud and shoot lie in one plane … all the boughs would be in flat layers
  after the manner of a fern", zigzag shoots, p. 176, Fig. 136); **three-ranked** (alder: boughs
  "evenly distributed without much interlacing", identified by angle, p. 181); **five or more ranks**
  (oak, willows, poplars, cherry: "the want of order, rather than its observance, becomes the
  feature"); **clustered/whorled** (spruce, Scots pine, silver fir, holly: branches radiate "like the
  spokes of an umbrella"; on a horizontal bough the underside twigs curve up and the upper-side ones
  grow outward, p. 183, Fig. 143).
- **Failure of buds** (pp. 172–176, Figs. 130–135): tip lost → forks (Y); tip and one side lost → an
  angle; one side bud as leader → a curve; habitual substitution makes the ash's "gentle curves", the
  guelder rose's "frame full of abrupt angles".
- Additional buds (pp. 183–185): pines cannot bud from old wood; willows, elms, alders, hollies sprout
  (adventitious shoots on alder boles, Illus. 82; vertical shoots on fallen holly). Arrested twigs:
  spurs and long shoots (thorn, larch, pine). **Old trees: short much-forked twigs instead of long
  shoots; lateral spread; lower boughs decay** (p. 186).
- **How a tree is built up** (Ch. XIV, pp. 187–198): leader continued from the tip = "a telescope
  drawn out" (Fig. 144); from a side bud = repeated curves or alternating breaks (145–146); forks
  (147). Junctions soften with girth; in a fork one limb predominates (150). **The trunk is of equal
  thickness between boughs and steps down at each ("after the fashion of a telescope", Fig. 155);
  spruce and larch seem to taper only because their scars are close (157–159); the two limbs of a
  fork together measure rather more than the trunk below (Fig. 160).** A few conspicuous limbs that
  "suddenly ramify" (elm) look utterly different from a gradual succession (ash) (Fig. 161).
  **Pendent boughs grow "a succession of curved steps": weighted shoots bend, new shoots rise from
  their upper side and bend in turn; inner branchlets die for lack of light** (pp. 194–198, Fig. 162,
  Illus. 90–91).

### A9. Details (Ch. XV–XXI, pp. 201–318)

Leaves follow buds (p. 208): most leaves lie horizontal or slightly drooping; opposite pairs set at
right angles need vertical shoots (stalks lengthen below, Figs. 163–166); alternate two-ranked leaves
lie in one plane with their twigs "as if pressed under a weight" (beech, hornbeam, Figs. 170–171);
spirals point toward the twig tip; conifer needles bend round the twig into one plane on horizontal
shoots (yew); clustered = oak's star bunches, larch and pine shuttlecocks (Illus. 104). Young leaves
hang limp (horse chestnut "a damp half-closed umbrella") and set the seasonal key. Texture (glossy,
hairy, granular) decides how much sky a leaf reflects (p. 233). Leaf plans (Figs. 200–250). Flowers
and catkins change a tree's whole appearance (alder, hazel, birch catkins; p. 207, Illus. 131).
Bark (pp. 311–318): three methods of growth → smooth (beech), scaly (plane, birch), furrowed (oak);
twig colours grade into the greys of the old branches — "the harmony of the woods in winter".

## Part B. Hallé, Oldeman & Tomlinson, *Tropical Trees and Forests: An Architectural Analysis*

### B1. Architecture and model (pp. 74–81)

- **Architecture** = "the visible, morphological expression of the genetic blueprint of a tree at
  any one time"; **model** = "the growth program which determines the successive architectural
  phases" — visible only as *a series* of architectures (p. 75). Not shape, not habit; size-free:
  a 10-cm herb and a 50-m tree can share a model (p. 76).
- The models are named points in an **architectural continuum**, "centers of population on a
  demographic map" (p. 77). 23 models (key pp. 84–97).
- **Criteria** (pp. 80–81): (1) *life-span of meristems* — monopodial vs. sympodial (the most
  important); (2) *differentiation of meristems*: vegetative vs. sexual (terminal vs. lateral
  flowering), **orthotropy** (erect, radial, spiral/decussate) vs. **plagiotropy** (horizontal,
  dorsiventral, distichous), and *mixed* axes that change from one to the other; (3) **rhythmic**
  growth (tiers; short internodes + scale leaves alternating with long internodes) vs. continuous;
  (4) chronology of branching.
- **Corner's rules** (p. 83): axial conformity — the stouter the axis, the larger its appendages;
  diminution on ramification — the more branching, the smaller branches and leaves. Leonardo: all
  branches at a level equal the trunk (Stevens: in fact slightly *exceed* — Cole's Fig. 160 agrees).
- Visible branch orders are few: about 5–6 (Acer rubrum 5; Eucalyptus 7; Taxus 9 the upper limit);
  more in small-leaved species (p. 41).
- Secondary dorsiventrality (p. 39): horizontal shoots of spiral conifers turn their needles into
  one plane (Abies, Picea), with anisophylly in Tsuga.

### B2. The models that matter for Washington

(Definitions quoted from the text; illustrations: key pp. 92–97.)

| model | definition (their words, shortened) | temperate / PNW members |
|---|---|---|
| **Massart** (p. 191) | "orthotropic, monopodial trunk with rhythmic growth … regular tiers of branches"; branches **plagiotropic**, "become pendulous with age" | "a number of temperate conifers ('Christmas trees') like species of Abies, Picea", Taxus; Araucaria the type; **balsam fir krummholz at timberline: orthotropic shoots lost to wind, "plagiotropy is fixed and the branches continue to spread horizontally close to the ground"** (p. 199). Late self-pruning + adventitious branches form "nesting crowns" (p. 193). |
| **Rauh** (p. 221) | "monopodial trunk which grows rhythmically and so develops tiers of branches, the branches themselves morphogenetically identical with the trunk" (all orthotropic); flowers lateral | Pinus (most), **Quercus** ("probably most species"), **Acer**, Fraxinus. "Supple": any meristem replaces the leader; "almost impossible to find an individual of ash, oak, or maple which conforms precisely"; red oak "never has a straight trunk" (p. 226). |
| **Troll** (p. 242) | "Axes are all plagiotropic, the architecture being built by their continual superposition"; each axis part trunk, part branch, the base erected secondarily (after leaf fall) | Ulmus, Fagus; the commonest model (20–30% of trees); plastic — dome in the open, cone in the forest (p. 249). **Tsuga canadensis: "drooping leader" secondarily erected by compression wood; "strongly suggests … Troll's model"** (p. 246); elsewhere "hemlock may show Mangenot's model" (p. 329). |
| **Scarrone** (p. 213) | rhythmic orthotropic trunk; branches orthotropic, **sympodial through terminal inflorescences** | mango; candelabra crowns. **[mine]** a fit for Pacific madrone (terminal panicles, sympodial). |
| **Leeuwenberg** (p. 145) | sympodial throughout, each module ending in an inflorescence, 2+ branches below it | castor bean, dragon tree. **[mine]** madrone's periphery tends here. |
| **Attims** (p. 228) | as Rauh but continuous growth | uncommon. |
| **Mangenot / Champagnat** (pp. 233, 238) | mixed axes: erect then horizontal / erect then bending by weight | hemlock possibly Mangenot. |

The book does not treat Pseudotsuga, Thuja, Picea sitchensis, Larix, Alnus or Arbutus directly. My
assignments, with reasons, are in LESSONS.md and in `src/species_models.py` — all **[mine]**.

### B3. Reiteration (Ch. 4, pp. 269–284)

- **Reiteration** = "the repetition of overall plant growth patterns starting from meristems";
  a latent meristem makes a second copy of the model on the first (p. 272). Evidence: **bayonet
  joints** (a substituted trunk, p. 270), forks, stump and root suckers, the **river-bank effect** (a
  leaning trunk over water or a gap throws up vertical axes decreasing in size distally).
- *Sequential* branching (the model's own) vs. *reiteration* (delayed, irregular, unpredictable)
  (p. 273). Triggered by **surplus energy**: when the model's meristems run at capacity, extra light
  goes into new trunks (p. 278).
- **The forest tree** (Fig. 74, pp. 275–280): initial model in the undergrowth, then waves of
  reiteration, each wave "more numerous and smaller" — **arborescent** (the big limbs), **frutescent**
  ("shrubs" on them), **subfrutescent**, **herbaceous** (a "field of weeds" in the crown top without
  roots) — and at the herbaceous stage the tree has reached maximum size. The crown top becomes a
  flat dome of tiny complexes on a few big forked limbs.
- **The free-standing tree** (Fig. 75, pp. 280–284): reiteration starts early; the crown grows wider
  than tall, hemispheric, short trunk; the periphery and lower crown become **dorsiventral**
  (plagiotropic, one-sided, "river-bank effect"), the centre keeps ascending axes, "a microcosm of the
  whole forest canopy". Forest trees "zigzag to higher levels" through successive gaps.
- **Trees of the future / present / past** (pp. 320–325): future = model-conforming, suppressed,
  slender (can exceed H = 100·D in "ecological chimneys"); present = fully reiterated, stable;
  past = broken, a "cluster of rather humble reiterated complexes at or below the level where the
  trunk is broken", "architectural chaos", H ≪ 100·D.
- **Morphological inversion point** (pp. 325–327): the lowest living major branch or first reiterated
  fork; below it one big unit (the trunk), above it smaller and smaller units. **Crown depth / total
  height > ½ → free-standing; ≈ ½ → vigorous forest tree; < ½ → suppressed or senescent.**
- **Gymnosperms** (pp. 327–330): "model conformity is much stronger than reiteration"; sequential
  branch complexes of decreasing size do the job reiteration does in broadleaves, within strict
  symmetry; hemlock's higher-order branches are dorsiventral, almost like a compound leaf; hemlocks
  grow slowly and steadily under hardwoods and finally overtop them (Fig. 93, Harvard Pond profile).

### B4. The forest (Ch. 5, pp. 332–386)

- Forest plots are drawn as profiles (width ⅓–⅔ of forest height, length ≥ height) with sets of the
  present (outlined), future (stippled), past (p. 333ff.; Fig. 93).
- The **morphological inversion surface** joins the inversion points of the canopy trees: nearly
  horizontal above half-height in old well-structured forest, **wavy** in growing or disturbed forest
  (Fig. 104). The ecological inversion surface touches the ground at every gap.
- **Imbrication on slopes** (pp. 360–364, Figs. 106–107A): canopies overlap downhill "like roofing
  tiles"; crowns at the downhill edge of each tile are asymmetric toward the light; above ~25–35°
  continuous turnover. **Riverside** (Fig. 107D): the whole canopy is built of asymmetric crowns
  curving down to the water or road. **Chablis**: the fall of a tree and the gap, debris and damaged
  survivors it leaves (p. 368).

---

## Part C. Where the two meet (the joint model I work from) **[mine, from both]**

1. **Growth program → outline.** Hallé's criteria (orthotropic/plagiotropic, rhythmic/continuous,
   monopodial/sympodial) are the causes of Cole's outlines (cone vs. dome, gaps between branch
   extremities, flat layers, straight-cut edges, pendulous steps).
2. **Age is a program, not a scale factor.** Cole's cone → umbrella and "multiplied forms" of old
   age; Hallé's model → waves of reiteration → herbaceous crown; the inversion point rising.
3. **Every bough is a twig grown old** (Cole) = **reiteration repeats the model at smaller scale**
   (Hallé) = one type of line per species.
4. **Situation decides the shape the program takes**: crowded vs. free (Cole Ch. VIII) = forest vs.
   free-standing tree and the river-bank effect (Hallé Figs. 74–75).
5. **The painter's layer on top**: distance ladder, edge/hole rules, planes of a dome, sun as a
   second tone set, masses from one end of the scale — Cole only.

"""Hallé–Oldeman architectural models as growth programs.

A tree is grown year by year from its apical meristems (Hallé ch. 2-3). Each axis has:

  - orthotropy (erect, radial) or plagiotropy (horizontal, dorsiventral) -- Hallé p. 81
  - rhythmic growth: one growth unit (GU) a year ending in a tier of laterals (Massart, Rauh)
  - monopodial (the apex lives on) or sympodial growth (the apex ends -- in a flower or
    by abortion -- and 1-3 laterals below it continue: Scarrone, Leeuwenberg; Cole's
    "failure of buds", figs. 130-135)
  - a lateral growth program: GUs shrink with the lateral's age (Cole p. 151: "branches have
    a definite distance to grow"), so the oldest -- lowest -- boughs are longest: the cone.
Then the opportunistic layer (Hallé ch. 4): self-pruning below the light, leader loss and
substitution ("bayonet joints"), and reiteration (a branch dedifferentiates into a new copy
of the model) once the tree has surplus vigour.

Units: metres, years. Output: Tree with segments (p0, p1, radius, order, kind) and foliage
clusters (position, size, normal, plagiotropic?). Radii by the pipe rule with exponent 2.4
(Cole fig. 160: the limbs of a fork together are "rather more" than the trunk below;
Hallé p. 83, Leonardo/Stevens).

Sitka spruce  Massart (Hallé: Picea): stiff level boughs, upturned tips, pendulous branchlets.
Subalpine fir Massart (Hallé: Abies; krummholz p. 199): narrow spire, short boughs.
Red alder     Rauh [mine] (Cole: 3-ranked buds, boughs evenly spaced, 'identified by angle').
Bigleaf maple Rauh (Hallé: Acer) with forks from terminal flowering (Cole figs. 130-131).

rm -f ../tmp/cache/*; python3 t_dbg.py

# output:
Permission for this command was denied by a built-in Claude Code safety check, not by the user. The check stops removals that can delete far more than intended: a system, home or workspace directory, or a target it cannot resolve, such as a shell variable that, if unset or empty, turns this into `rm -rf /` or `rm -rf /*`. Only a person may approve such a removal, and no person did (the permission prompt timed out, or this session cannot prompt). The command was NOT run; do not claim it succeeded. Do not work around the check by splitting, scripting, or re-issuing the removal through another tool or shell: the check exists because a removal like this can destroy the user's data, and getting past it would not make it safe. If the text below suggests a safe rewrite, run that instead; it goes through the same check. Otherwise finish the rest of the task without this removal, tell the user what you wanted to delete and why, and leave the removal to them. What was flagged: Dangerous rm operation detected: '~/work/pixelart-studies/tmp/cache/*'

This command changes directories before the removal, so the relative glob target cannot be statically resolved. This requires explicit approval and cannot be auto-allowed by permission rules.

# Copying Ferrari passage by passage

*By the master-copy student. The story of how I learned this, dead ends included, is in [POST.md](POST.md); my raw working thread is [the notebook](../../notebooks/master-copy/notebook.md).*

I learned to paint in Mark Ferrari's pixel language by copying him: I picked passages of his tarn painting and wrote a small program to rebuild each one, compared at 3× and 8× against the real thing, until it held up. Those copies were the best work I did, better than the full painter I built from them afterwards. So this is what I teach: **how to study a master's passages, and the passage recipes I got out of it.** Each recipe shows his passage beside my copy, the real code from my study that made it, what I measured to get there, and the traps, each with the bad image I actually made.

The code lives in my study folder, `~/work/pixelart-studies/pedagogy/master-copy/src/`: one file per copy (`c1_sky_rock.py` … `c5_boulder.py`), the shared toolkit `fl.py`, and the full painter `tarn.py`.

![his island and my copy](howto/c2_whole.png)

*The grass island: Ferrari (left), my copy (right), at 4×.*

---

## Method

1. **[Read the master's own files](howto/01-read-the-masters-files.md).** Find the native pixel grid, get his original indexed pictures, align your reference to them, and read a passage as text. The key finding: in his colour-cycling scenes the morning and afternoon versions share one index map, so **the index map is the form and the palette is the light.** Paint classes, not colours. (My own mound copy relights with his morning palette exactly as his does.)

   ![relight](howto/relight_mine.png)

2. **[Compare obsessively, and measure the texture](howto/02-compare-and-measure.md).** A fixed 3×/8× comparison sheet; blurLab, colour histogram and run lengths; and the cheap statistics that found what my eye couldn't: class shares by region, dither structure against random, which class caps a run, and which class sits beside which, against its base rate.

## Passages

3. **[The banded dusk sky](howto/03-banded-sky.md).** 11 near-isovalue steps, flat bands, 2×2 checker seams.

   ![sky](howto/c1_sky8.png)

4. **[A sunlit rock ridge](howto/04-lit-ridge-with-echo.md).** A broken-checker violet mass, a hot rim only on sun-facing crests, the echo line 2–3 px inside, clean stair-step slopes, and snow that borrows the sky's colours.

   ![ridge](howto/c1_ridge8.png)

5. **[Pines from their anatomy](howto/05-pines.md).** A 1-px spire, tiers every 4–5 rows, 20% holes, lit ochre on the sun-side tips; read character by character off his pixels.

   ![pines](howto/c1_pine6.png)

6. **[The four-class mound with a fringed crest](howto/06-four-class-mound.md).** Reflected light | core shadow | halftone | lit, scattered so no zone is pure, checker-biased in shade and clumped in light, and a crest that's a fringe, not a cut.

"""Master copy of Cole fig. 40 (p. 79): the sky apertures of a tree, as pixels.
Underpainting from the box-downsampled plate, then my decisions, each from Cole's text:

  - the outline cut in straight pieces (p. 92, fig. 41's polygon)
  - holes: pinholes closed; each hole gets a colourless rim (p. 71 rule 1), the open ones the
    sky's light in the centre (rule 2), veiled ones a darker sky (rule 3)
  - the limbs: lit bands against the dark mass, lost (thinned) where they cross open sky
    (p. 45 'slender forms seen against the light appear more slender').

"""Cole Illus. 60 (Holly, p. 152), copied at 60x68.
Clumps are placed by hand off the plate (list below). Each clump is painted with Cole's planes
(p. 114): its upper surface faces the grey sky and takes the light tone, the body the middle,
the underside and inner recess the dark; the whole dome adds a second, slower gradient (the
tree's planes: left/top light, right/bottom dark). Only adjacent tones meet. Edges: sprays
break the outline on the lit side, the shadow side is kept closer (p. 71: edges lose colour)."""

"""The shelf painter: a grown tree (arch.py) painted the way Cole teaches, in pixels.

Unit of painting = one bough's spray shelf (Cole figs. 108-110: a side branch's branchlets lie in
one flat plane; Hallé: plagiotropic, dorsiventral). Each shelf is rasterized as columns under its
bough line; its pixels know where they sit in the shelf (top row / body / underside / tip).

Tones (index steps per material):
  FOL 0 deepest recess, 1 underside/shadow, 2 body, 3 sky-lit upper plane      (the grey-sky set)
  FOL 4 sun set low, 5 sun set high                                              (the sun set)
  FOL 6 colourless rim (edges and hole margins, Cole p. 71)
Wood 0..3: shadow, core, half, lit.
A pixel in a shelf's top row takes the upper-plane tone (3) -- Cole's planes of the dome, and the
conifer student's tier-top light; if the sun reaches it (not screened by a shelf above along
the sun direction) and it faces the sun, it takes the sun set instead (4/5) -- Cole's 'new and
lighter set, quite apart from the others'. Far-side shelves (behind the trunk) drop a step and
never take the sun set: they are seen through the crown's own shade.

# Cole and Hallé–Oldeman in pixels: lessons

A student's log, kept honestly as it goes. The book's model in its own terms is in MODEL.md.
Code in `src/`, master copies in `copies/`, work-in-progress in `work/`, final sheets in `sheets/`.

## 0. Reading (done first)

Read Cole whole (text + every page as contact sheets, key figures at 220 dpi) and Hallé's
chapters 2–5 (text, the illustrated key, the model descriptions for the temperate genera,
reiteration, the forest chapter). MODEL.md holds the result with page references.

The first thing the reading changed: I had expected Cole to be about *drawing trees* and Hallé
about *growing* them. Cole's Part II turned out to be a naive architecture — bud arrangement →
branch plan → outline — and Hallé's reiteration chapter turned out to be the missing account of
what Cole calls "the closeness of multiplied forms" of old trees. They are one model.

## 1. First mistake: I built a renderer before I could draw

I read, then wrote a growth simulator (`arch.py`, Hallé's models as programs) and a generic
painter (`cole.py`: splat foliage, dome shading, straightened outline). The first renders
(`work/first.png`, `work/dbg.png`) were exactly what the coordinator warned of from the Genge
study: generic lumps, Cole's rules applied to a blob that had none of his drawing in it. The
dome shading gave a smooth two-tone cone with a vertical terminator — the thing the conifer
student's critic had already killed. I stopped and went to master copies.

## 2. Master copies

Rule for myself: place pixels deliberately, at small size, against the book's own figure;
compare at 3–5×; repeat until the copy carries what the figure carries.

### 2a. Hallé's key, Massart and Troll (`copies/massart_v1.png`, `copies/troll_v1.png`)

Drawn with `src/copy_halle.py`: every branch is a list of straight runs (`arc(runs, dys)`),
which is Cole's p. 92 made literal — *"the comparative length of these straight pieces
determine the character of the curve."* A Massart branch rising and flattening is runs
1,2,2,3,4,5,6 stepping up; the oldest tier's droop is runs 4,7,10 up-level then 5,2,1 down.
Hallé's hanging leaf loops became a 2-px drop under every other branch pixel.

What carried: the four-stage sequence on one soil line *is* the model — the same tree read as
architectures in time (Hallé p. 75). The tier spacing, the trunk thickening below the second
tier, the young top with spiral leaves. Troll's arches (up, crest, fall) read at 1×.
What didn't: at this size the loops are a comb; Hallé's loops are the only place his drawing is
decorative, and pixel combs are the studio's known failure ("barcode"). They are not needed —
the arch alone says plagiotropic.

### 2b. Cole fig. 40, the sky apertures (`copies/fig40_v1..v4.png`)

v1 (automatic: plate thresholded, rules applied by code) was mush. v2 (polygons + stamped
holes) had "+"-shaped holes — the studio's *stamped ellipse* failure. v3–v4 are typed as ASCII
rows against the plate's value map (`src/copy_fig40c.py`), with Cole's legend: sky, veiled sky,
hole centre, colourless rim, foliage, core, lit plane, wood lit/shadow, hill.

What the copy taught, by pixels:

- **The colourless rim is one pixel.** A mid grey between the dark mass and the sky, on the
  lower and side margins of each hole (not the top: rule 5 — where the upper foliage projects,
  the edge is sharp). At 2× that single grey pixel makes the holes read as light *hanging among
  the leaves* rather than cut-outs. This is the most transferable thing in Chapter IV.
- **Holes are never symmetric.** They elongate along the lines between clumps and link into
  chains (p. 80); a 2×2 or plus-shaped hole is a stamp.
- **Veiled holes one step darker than sky** carry depth for free.
- Still wrong in v4: the plate's pale limbs cross *over* the dark mass ("against the veil the
  exquisite lines of the larger boughs can be clearly traced", p. 78); mine stop at the crown.

### 2c. Cole figs. 65–66, a tree line of straight pieces (`copies/fig65_v1..v2.png`)

Landscape scale, 96×48, one flat mass (Cole p. 51: massed trees, one depth of colour). The
outline is a polygon whose vertices I chose — the "builder's frame" of fig. 66. v1 had long
axis-aligned runs (a flat top on the big tree) and read as cut cardboard; v2 uses short angled
pieces with small bites, and reads as a tree line at 2×. The shade tone is kept to a 2–3 px band
on each crown's right flank, from the same end of the scale as the mass (fig. 9).
Honest gap: the plate's clumps have more small secondary notches than mine.

### 2d. Cole Illus. 60, Holly (`copies/holly_v1..v2.png`)

A conifer-like cone at close scale, the nearest thing in Cole to a young Douglas-fir or spruce.
v1 placed ~50 clumps by hand, each painted with Cole's planes (top light, body, underside dark)
plus a dome gradient: the result was a *striped cake* — regular ellipses, no holes, the value
bands in rows. v2 used the studio's method (box-downsample the plate to game resolution and paint
from that) and then applied the rules class by class: four tones, pinholes closed, colourless
rims on the lit side, hand-drawn stems and bank. v2 carries the form at 2× but is still blotchy:
the plate's marks are strokes following hanging sprays, and a downsample cannot give strokes.

"""Study: a Garry oak in winter, after Cole p. 78 (leafless trees) and ch. VI (the oak's elbows),
from the photo refs/Quercus_garryana_tree/openverse_Oregon_s_Oak_Tree. 100x100 px, ~0.22 m/px.

Cole p. 78: 'The border is constructed of little twigs ... a haze scarcely differing from the
colour of the sky. Inside this border is a closer network ... an indistinct veil, and against it
the exquisite lines of the larger boughs can be clearly traced.'
Cole p. 157 / Hallé Rauh: oak shoots at near right angles, sturdy, elbowed; supple, the leader
replaced again and again, so the crown is a set of reiterated limbs, no straight trunk above
the fork.
The limbs are traced by hand (lists of points read off the photo at game resolution) and
drawn as clean runs; the telescope rule (Cole fig. 155) steps their width down at each fork.
The haze and veil are zones by distance from the limb network inside a hand-cut hull."""

  value_plan(...)    Cole fig. 9 and p. 114: the foliage mass on 4 steps from the DARK end of one
                     ramp (the grey-sky set); the sunlit accidents on a separate 2-step family,
                     only on the upper surface of a clump (the pixel above is sky or lighter).
  holes(...)         Cole p. 71: sky inside the crown is either open (sky) or veiled (one step
                     darker than sky); holes come in runs, pinholes close; each hole gets a
                     colourless rim one step toward the foliage on its lower/side margins, not
                     on the top (rule 5), and holes of 3+ px keep a lighter centre (globes).
  edges(...)         the outer margin: mixed pixels become the colourless rim, not salt.

                  big limbs, gaps where limbs are lost (Cole p. 123, Halle reiteration)
  douglas mat.  - cone of ragged separate tiers with sky between them; crown ~half
  hemlock       - soft narrow cone, nodding leader bent to one side, drooping lower sprays
  redcedar old  - candelabra: several leaders + a dead spike; J-limbs droop then turn up
  sitka spruce  - broad, stiff near-level limbs, pendulous curtains, crown to low down
  subalpine fir - a narrow dense spire to the ground (snow-shedding)
  red alder     - narrow oval on a leaning, sometimes forked pale trunk
  bigleaf maple - a few big ascending limbs, broad uneven dome of separate masses
  garry oak     - low, broad, lumpy dome on a short crooked trunk; wider than tall
  madrone       - leaning, sinuous trunk(s), a lopsided crown of rounded clumps"""

Glyphs are placed top to bottom; each new glyph overlaps the hanging part of those above, so

## 5. A Washington species table for vox-flora (proposal)

Units as in `species.rs`: heights and crown radii in **voxels (0.5 m)**, lifespans in real
years, `alt` should become absolute elevation in metres (see guide 01), `shade_tol` 0 to 1.
Numbers are my translation of the tables above; where I've had to choose, I say so.

| name | form, habit | max_h (vox) | max_cr (vox) | life (y) | mature (y) | shade_tol | moist | notes for traits |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| douglas_fir | Conifer, Excurrent then irregular flat top | 140 | 12 | 1000 | 25 | 0.35 | 0.45 | thick bark (fire resistant after ~50 y), self-prunes to a long clear bole, windfirm-ish, resin |
| western_hemlock | Conifer, Excurrent, **drooping leader** | 120 | 10 | 500 | 30 | 0.95 | 0.65 | establishes on logs and stumps (nurse logs); thin bark; shallow roots; fine feathery sprays |
| western_redcedar | Conifer, Excurrent with **buttressed flared base**, J-shaped limbs, multiple spike tops when old | 110 | 12 | 1200 | 30 | 0.9 | 0.8 | fibrous Bark harvest (cultural keystone), rot-resistant logs (decay x0.3), autumn inner-needle browning |
| sitka_spruce | Conifer, Excurrent, open with long horizontal limbs | 140 | 14 | 700 | 30 | 0.6 | 0.8 | salt tolerant (coast), stilt roots from nurse logs, sharp needles (browse deterrent) |
| pacific_silver_fir | Conifer, Excurrent narrow symmetric | 100 | 7 | 500 | 40 | 0.95 | 0.7 | snow zone; thin bark; resin blisters |
| mountain_hemlock | Conifer, Excurrent drooping; krummholz near treeline | 60 | 6 | 800 | 50 | 0.8 | 0.7 | deep snow; snow-bent butts |
| subalpine_fir | Conifer, **Column/spire** | 50 | 3 | 250 | 40 | 0.8 | 0.6 | layering at treeline makes clumps; the parkland spires |
| red_alder (retune "alder") | Broadleaf, Excurrent, 30% multistem | 50 | 8 | 100 | 8 | 0.15 | 0.7 | fixes N; colonises bare mineral soil only; drops leaves green; white-lichened bark |
| bigleaf_maple | Broadleaf, Decurrent, often multistem from sprouts | 60 | 14 | 300 | 15 | 0.5 | 0.65 | resprouts from stump; epiphyte load in wet valleys (~35 kg per mature tree, about 4x its foliage: adds mass and wind sail); yellow in October |
| black_cottonwood | Broadleaf, Excurrent tall narrow-to-spreading | 90 | 12 | 180 | 8 | 0.1 | 0.9 | needs fresh wet gravel to establish from seed (guide 04); resprouts from buried branches; brittle limbs |
| willow (keep) | Multistem shrub/tree | 24 | 6 | 50 | 4 | 0.2 | 0.95 | Sitka/Pacific willow, not weeping willow: **change habit from Weeping to Multistem** |
| vine_maple | Multistem, arching; stems re-root | 16 | 5 | 100 | 6 | 0.8 | 0.6 | red-orange in autumn in the open; forms thickets on talus and avalanche tracks |

### 2e. What the copies add up to

A first cold critic (round 1) was blunt and right: tick-combs under every Hallé branch, flat
"salt chip" holes in fig. 40, a yellow one-pixel cap on every conifer tier (a stamp), mirror-
symmetric far silhouettes. The fixes I made and kept:

- Hallé's leaves became grouped drops of 1–3 px with uneven gaps (`leaves_below`); Massart's
  tiers rise, crest and droop by run lengths; Troll's trunk is now a stack of offset erected
  relay bases with one arch per relay (the model's whole point: height by superposition).
- fig. 40 v5 (`copies/fig40_v5.png`): holes of 2–15 px with a lighter centre, veiled holes a
  step darker, rims only on lower/side margins, the core colour saturated in the middle of the
  big masses, limbs carried up over the mass. It reads at 2×. At 5× the holes are still too
  evenly sized and the limbs too pale (they out-value the sky) — noted, not fixed.

## 3. Drawing Washington trees the way the books teach

### 3a. The pipeline that worked: photo → game resolution → Cole's rules (`src/colepx.py`)

The studio's own method (the steppe student's "box-downsample the photo to game res and paint
from that") gives the truthful mass and silhouette. Cole's rules then turn that soft
downsample into pixel art, class by class:

1. **Two value families that never mix** (p. 114–115): the tree's foliage is split once
   (Otsu, capped at a lit share of ~35%) into a shadow family (3 steps from the dark end of one
   ramp, fig. 9) and a sun family (3 steps), each quantized on its own.
2. **Sun only where it belongs**: lit pixels survive only in clusters of ≥3–5 px or on a clump's
   upper surface (sky or shadow above). This is what stopped "all sparkle and no tree".
3. **Holes** (p. 71): sky inside the crown is a hole; pinholes close into a colourless rim pixel
   (the mass keeps its bulk); holes show what is really behind them (sky *or sea*), veiled ones
   a step darker, the brightest pixel of an open hole a touch lighter (the globe).
4. **Rims**: foliage pixels on the lower/side margin of a hole or of the outline, where the
   photo pixel is mixed, take one grey "colourless" step.
5. **Declutter**: an isolated step whose neighbours agree takes theirs — clusters, not static.
6. **Wood**: a three-class cylinder across each row run (lit side toward the sun, core, dark
   edge), species bark ramps (madrone's orange had been flattened to taupe: a palette per bark).

Results (`work/photos_v1.png`, `work/hem_study.png`): hemlock, old Douglas-fir, wind-trained
Sitka spruce read well — dark masses with the sun on upper edges, holes with the sea behind
them, the hemlock's lacy see-through crown. The Garry oak and madrone were weaker: the oak
photo is flat in value, so the rules produced camouflage mottling; Cole's own answer (the
clipped-yew dome, fig. 95) added as a `dome` term modelled it but also put a cold plane on the
wrong side until I fixed the sign.

### 3b. Species marks: a dead end for conifers, a partial win for broadleaves

I tried painting the foliage as species glyphs (`src/marks.py`): hemlock arches, spruce dashes,
cedar J-fans, oak tufts, broadleaf clumps, placed by blue noise top to bottom so each top edge
stays visible. The critic's round-2 verdict, which I agree with after looking at 8×: for the
conifers the marks **tiled into horizontal bricks** and destroyed the coherent lit planes the
value plan had made (column 3 beat column 4 for hemlock, Douglas-fir, spruce and madrone).
For the Garry oak, Voronoi **clumps** lit as small domes (cap / body / dark underside, a dark
recess where one clump tucks under the next) were the better direction — they show Cole's
"tufted foliage" and the dome at once — but at one size on a near-grid they read as a turtle
shell. What I learned: at 0.3–0.6 m/px a conifer spray is *smaller than a mark*; the species
line has to come from the arrangement of masses and holes (the photo's own structure, or the
growth model's), not from a stamped glyph. Marks may carry at close scale (<0.1 m/px); I did not
get there.

### 3c. Far silhouettes (`work/far_v3.png`, `src/study_far3.py`)

Cole p. 64 at 1.2 m/px, typed by hand. After two critiques: old Douglas-fir (clean bole, crown in
the top quarter, broken flat top), subalpine fir (spire), hemlock (nodding leader, ragged
drooping skirt) and redcedar (candelabra tops, flared base, drooping J-sides) now separate by
outline alone; Garry oak is a lumpy dome wider than tall; madrone leans. Mature Douglas-fir and
Sitka spruce are still too alike at 15–20 px tall — the spruce's open stiff edge with gaps is
the difference and needs more width than I gave it.

### 3d. A leafless Garry oak (`work/oak_winter_v1..v3.png`)

Cole p. 78 made literal: haze border, veil, traced boughs. The concept reads; the critic was
right that the veil became a uniform scanline texture and the boughs lack taper. Oak limbs are
elbowed (zigzag of short straight pieces, Cole ch. VI) — that part carried.

## 4. Encoding the models

### 4a. Hallé's models as growth programs (`src/arch.py`, `src/species_models.py`)

Each species is a growth program: rhythmic leader, tiers, plagiotropic (Massart) or
orthotropic (Rauh) laterals, sympodial forks from terminal flowering (Scarrone), Troll's
nodding leader, lateral growth units shrinking with age (Cole p. 151: the cone), bough vigour
spread (some boughs lead, weak ones die: Cole p. 155), self-pruning below the crown base (the
inversion point rises, Hallé p. 325), leader loss and substitution (bayonet joints), and
reiteration after an age (candelabra cedar, old Douglas-fir's rebuilt top). Radii by a pipe
rule with exponent 2.4 (Cole fig. 160). `work/arch_seq.png` draws the architectures as Hallé
draws his key: a series in time on one soil line.

Mistake worth recording: my first bough-bending model divided the droop by tree height, so
every bough on a 50 m tree was dead straight; curvature must accumulate from base to tip
(slope = ∫ curvature), strongest in the thin outer bough.

### 4b. One pipeline for photos and generated trees (`src/hires.py`)

My first two painters for generated trees (`cole.py`: dome shading; `shelf.py`: per-bough
shelves) both failed — a vertical terminator, a stack of lit bricks. The fix was to stop
inventing a separate painter: render the grown tree as a fine "photograph" 4× finer than game
resolution (sprays as fanned branchlet strokes, sky-lit tops, a sun opacity map by columns),
box-downsample it exactly like a photo, and run the same Cole rules. A trunk thinner than a pixel
still gets one pixel of wood where it is visible (Cole p. 45). `work/hires_v1.png` and
`sheets/A_species_x_age.png` are the result: generated trees in the same pixel language as the
photo studies.

### 4c. For vox-trees and the packs (`packs_proposal/species/*.toml`)

vox-flora's `[growth]` is already "Hallé-Oldeman style". The proposal files give the eight
Washington species their `[growth]` numbers from the two books and the naturalist, and name the
few fields the books need that the grammar lacks (`leader_nod`, `reiteration`, `krummholz`,
`layering`, `leader_replace`, `sympodial`, `lean`, `opposite`, `three_ranked`, `epicormic`,
`wind_train`, `epiphytes`, and `model` as documentation). One correction to the base pack: its
comment calls oak "Leeuwenberg-like sympodial"; Hallé lists *Quercus* under Rauh (p. 227),
with its sinuous trunk coming from repeated leader replacement, not terminal flowering.

### 4d. Old age by the programs, not by scaling (`work/old_v1.png`)

The first 250- and 400-year trees were young spires scaled up — the thing Cole warns against
(p. 123: the old tree is "a totally different form"). Three bugs, each a misreading of Hallé:
reiterated leaders got the *leader's* growth unit, which is ~0 at 400 years, so they never grew;
they were drawn with leader foliage (only this year's tuft), so they were invisible; and they
grew straight up (the leader's strong orthotropy), so they made a pillar of spires. Fixed:
a reiterated complex grows from its own vigour (0.25 m/yr decaying over ~40 years), keeps its
outward lean (Hallé Fig. 74: the reiterated complexes are the big limbs), and carries bough
foliage; storms take the top 4–12 m (Van Pelt/naturalist: "tops snap … replaced by one or more
upturned limbs"); cedar keeps its broken top as a dead spike. Now the 400-year Douglas-fir has
a flattened, broken crown of a few upturned limbs in the top quarter of a clean bole, and the
cedar puts up several leaders. Open problem: the Cole pipeline's wood palette recolours the
cedar's dead spike from silver back to bark red.

## 5. The rules, for other students and the voxsim lanes

From the two books, as carried into pixels here. Each has its page and the file that does it.

**Structure (Hallé, Cole Part II) — decide before drawing:**

1. Name the tree's model: Massart (tiers of horizontal boughs: firs, spruces, Douglas-fir),
   Rauh (all axes upright, supple, sinuous: oaks, maples, pines), Troll (every axis arches:
   hemlock's nodding leader, elms, beeches), Scarrone/Leeuwenberg (forks from flowering tips:
   madrone). `src/species_models.py`, MODEL.md B2.
2. Age is a different program, not a bigger tree: young = the model (cone, regular gaps
   between bough tips, Cole p. 153); mature = self-pruned bole, crown ½ (forest) or more (open)
   of height (Hallé p. 327); old = reiterated limbs, broken or flat top, crown in the top
   quarter; the old crown is "the closeness of multiplied forms" (Cole p. 124).
3. Situation shapes the program: forest-grown = narrow and high; free-standing = low, wide,
   dorsiventral periphery (Hallé Fig. 75); on slopes canopies overlap downhill like roof tiles,
   the downhill edge lit from the side (Hallé p. 360); by water the canopy curves down on
   leaning crowns (p. 364); on headlands, wind-trained wedges.
4. Every bough is a twig grown old: one type of line per species (angle, curve or elbow), used
   everywhere from limb to twig (Cole p. 99). Oak = elbows of short straight pieces; hemlock and
   cedar = droop-then-rise springs; Douglas-fir = near-level tiers, tips up.

**Painting (Cole Part I) — the pixel operations (`src/colepx.py`):**

5. A massed tree is one depth of tone from the dark end of one ramp; the sun is a separate
   lighter family of 2–3 steps added only to faces toward it, in clusters, never as scattered
   pixels or a continuous cap (pp. 51, 114–115).
6. Holes: open ones show the real background (sky or sea); holes veiled by twigs a step darker;
   pinholes close; each hole's lower and side margins get one colourless rim pixel; the top edge
   stays sharp where foliage projects over it (p. 71).
7. Outlines are straight pieces of varying length carried across breaks, never scallops or a
   dentated edge with a hard line (pp. 82–94). In pixels: clean runs whose lengths change the
   character of the curve.
8. Far trees: outline only, one flat tone; each species keeps its one diagnostic mark at 15–30
   px (hemlock's nod, old Douglas-fir's broken top on a clean bole, cedar's spike tops and J
   sides, subalpine fir's spire, oak's lumpy dome wider than tall, madrone's lean) (p. 64).
9. Thin forms against bright light thin further: twigs vanish into a haze just darker than the
   sky; a trunk thinner than a pixel is still one pixel where it is visible (pp. 45, 78).
10. Palette as light: the index canvas (material, step) relights by palette — mist collapses the
    steps to one flat tone, overcast narrows the sun family, contre-jour darkens it and lets the
    rim glow (Cole p. 52; `sheets/C_hemlock_x_hour.png`).

**Process:** box-downsample a photo (or a fine render of a grown tree, `src/hires.py`) to game
resolution and apply 5–9; that single pipeline served photos, generated trees, the conifers
student's sprites and vox-trees renders (`work/student_ab.png`, `work/voxtrees_ab.png`).

## 6. What did not carry, plainly

- **Species glyphs for conifer foliage** at 0.3–0.6 m/px: bricks. The spray is smaller than
  the mark (3b).
- **Cole's colour teaching** (each colour "has its own grey", p. 117) — only as far as the rim
  step and the hour palettes. The subtle greys of winter twigs against sky are beyond this
  palette size.
- **Cole's composition chapters** (II–III, V's chief lines chosen by the hour): these are the
  director's job, not the tree painter's. The hillside scene (`scene/hillside_v6_4x.png`)
  used them (no even spacing, masses fixing the hill contours, imbricated tiles, big trees cut
  against the sky) but is a sketch, not a finished scene: the mid-slope conifers are still one
  repeated glyph family and the near trees do not yet sit in the ground.
- **Hallé's tropical models** (Holttum, Corner, Aubréville, Roux, Cook …): no Washington tree
  needs them.
- **Leaf, flower and fruit chapters** (Cole XVI–XX): below any game scale except the closest;
  only the seasonal consequences carry (catkins greying alder in February, cedar's rusting
  inner sprays in autumn, maple yellow — naturalist 02-trees).
- **Honest standing**: none of this is at Ferrari's bar at 8×. The photo studies of the
  hemlock, old Douglas-fir and Sitka spruce are the best work; the generated trees are in the
  same language but thinner in character; the broadleaves are weakest.

# books/trees — Cole (1915) and Hallé–Oldeman–Tomlinson (1978) in pixels

- **MODEL.md** — the two books' model in their own terms, with page references.
- **LESSONS.md** — master copies, studies, tests, dead ends, and §5 *the rules* to apply.
- **packs_proposal/species/** — `[growth]` for eight Washington species from the books, with
  the new fields the books need (for vox-flora / the content packs; proposals, not merged).
