We should - but I never really dug into that really great project deeply enough
to understand exactly how it all works.  Maybe it's time.

They are, but you have those other patterns which have some size variation.  It
might be nice to have some of that in the pattern as an option.  I'm only
throwing it out there so we can play with it and either decide it has promise -
or discard it as "nope - not a good idea".

Always so much to do.   Never enough time, energy, or opportunity.   Better that
than being idle and boring.

Thanks  :)


Find attached a quick exploratory crackle experiment.  The sum of 2 crackle
patterns of different scales, one with turbulence, then the whole thing with
some turbulence.
