Fig. 9 shows a work entitled 'The Car Crash of G. I. Gurdjieff' which was generated mainly using the C-code routines in Mathspic. The curved patterns are a visualisation of an inverse-square law attraction between gravitational bodies or electrostatic charges, and have been used to show the force-fields between a central body (symbolising Gurdjieff, or any charismatic figure) and those either drawn towards or repelled from him. The six frames are symbolic of the chaos a Master may bring to a community, and also of a final harmony. Other programmed routines allowed the graduated 'embossing' of the image to the top of the frame, and the selected darkening to the left, neither of which processes would have been easily carried out with PhotoShop (for example), though this package was used in the composition of the program-generated imagery and the scanned images of Gurdjieff and the car. The road was generated in 3D Studio.
