Creating algorithmic art using p5.js with seeded randomness and interactive parameter exploration. Use this when users request creating art using code, generative art, algorithmic art, flow fields, or particle systems. Create original algorithmic art rather than copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.

## From README

ALGORITHMIC PHILOSOPHY CREATION To begin, create an ALGORITHMIC PHILOSOPHY (not static images or templates) that will be interpreted through: Computational processes, emergent behavior, mathematical beauty Seeded randomness, noise fields, organic systems Particles, flows, fields, forces Parametric variation and controlled chaos THE CRITICAL UNDERSTANDING What is received: Some subtle input or instructions by the user to take into account, but use as a foundation; it should not constrain creative freedom. What is created: An algorithmic philosophy/generative aesthetic movement. What happens next: The same version receives the philosophy and EXPRESSES IT IN CODE - creating p5.js sketches that are 90% algorithmic generation, 10% essential parameters. Consider this approach: Write a manifesto for a generative art movement The next phase involves writing the algorithm that brings it to life The philosophy must emphasize: Algorithmic expression. Emergent behavior. Computational beauty.
