Growing Points I

by Simon Whitechapel

Take a set of points and find a pair of points within it. Create n more points based on the distance between the pair and their relative bearings. Repeat for all other pairs in the original set. Then add the newly created points to the set and find all pairs again, creating more new points for each. The first two stages of the process can be seen here with the three points of a triangle (new points appear in red):

Here are more completed examples of the first two stages of growth, each with its original set of points and its point-seed:
