Different people get different things out of it. It is all the things you say. It's also an extremely introverted experience about being lost and confused and frustrated in a hostile alien wilderness, and overcoming obstacles through persistence and realizations, with a spooky foreboding soundtrack.

My visual qualia has a color field, where colors are points in a space with *at least* 3 axes. This is the main thing I mean when I think of vision. But there are layers on top of that, like depth perception and most importantly pattern recognition! How do they all feel like a unified experience?!

To me he's the "turing pattern" guy.

Thank you for doing this! Is there anything I need to do to help?

More:
Run Lola Run
Star Wars, Jurassic Park
The Matrix
Fantasia
Plenty of "silent" films, e.g. Steamboat Bill, Jr.
All "musicals" obviously, e.g. The Lion King

Requiem for a Dream qualifies. And it's a very good example, if feeling terrible is something you're interested in experiencing.

Hill I will die on: "Metroid: Other M" is still a bad name.

The contract is that I will willingly suspend my disbelief and accept the storyteller's contrivance. But in return I expect them to earn or minimize their contrivances. I expect major coincidences to occur at the beginning and start the ball rolling, not provide solutions at the end.

Stated another way: Find two neighboring cells separated by a wall but indirectly connected. Carve a path between them, resulting in a loop. Then break the loop elsewhere, leaving a fork.

Check out the "backbite" technique here:

That can scramble a path without forking it, but if instead you move the wall to a different part of the newly created loop then there will be one more fork than there was previously.

It's possible to generate the space filling curve first, and then retroactively add N forks to it by moving walls.

A radius in a square (or other regular polygon) is the distance from the centre to a corner, because these are always the same length, but distance from radius to any arbitrary point along the edge will vary. Apothem is distance from centre to the middle of an edge (where it meets@ 90°)

I just call it "pitch" and make peace with the inaccuracy.
