I just accepted a 20 WETH offer on one of the mathematical full spectrums I owned. I want to: 1. Spread these into the wild. 2. Sleep at night. I spent a lot of money on squiggles in the past month. More than i was admittedly comfortable with. Whoever's purchasing this, enjoy!

I learned something new about Chromie Squiggles today. A ghost squiggle, one of only 20, was briefly listed this morning for 22.2 ETH before being re-listed 11 minutes later for 150ETH. This sent me down the ribbed/ghost rabbit hole... Here are some interesting findings:

Squiggle 624 boasts 2 unique properties. Squiggles are made up of circles layered on top of each other. This squiggle has 18,018 circles, the most of any. It also cycles over 36,036 hues, the most of any minted squiggle, the theoretical maximum 38,038 was never minted.

Finishing an essay on Ribbed Chromie Squiggles & the math behind them. Here's one deconstructed in slow-mo. Below, the black segment circle appears every 5th circle. The frequency can vary & be every 3rd, 4th, or 5th circle. 5th is the rarest, only 7.7% of ribbed are 5th's.

@squiggleDAO did a fabulous job of identifying the "Ghost" Squiggle, where the color of the grayscale separating circle is 252 or higher. Giving us a white that is indistinguishable from the background. Which creates this incredibly awesome, ghostly effect.

If you're interesting in learning about the "Rib Color", it is unfortunately not in the metadata & can only be extracted by running the code, maybe I'll throw together a google sheet if there's interest in this, or add it to the SquiggleData website.

Snowfro spent significant effort making the squiggle dynamic. Pull up a squiggle in Opensea, click on it. This squiggle will elegantly dance in front of you. Tap the up arrow and the squiggles colors will oscillate faster. Tap the space bar and the background will darken.

Squiggles are comprised of thousands of circles. I had always assumed that on Ribbed, the circles simply had a grayscale outer band. But there is in fact more than meets the eye. Ribbed squiggles alternate between two circle types, colored and grayscale.

Tapping the space bar, the background will darken until it is eventually black. I think there's an interesting antithesis to the ghost trait, one we might call, "The Reaper". Ribbed squiggles with perfectly black segment circles. Here's one:

Ribbed squiggles are one of 6 squiggle types. There are 784 Ribbed Squiggles, and interestingly enough, it's only squiggle type whose name cannot be found anywhere in the codebase. That's because they were called "Segmented" when @ArtOnBlockchain wrote the original code.

You'll notice the edge of the squiggle is always grayscale. That's because the grayscale circles are slightly larger than their colorful counterparts. These grayscale circles are always the same color, and have 256 unique possible values ranging from white to black.

@RJFieldsofGold Perfects should show ever hue exactly once. Full Spectrums come within 1% of that. Some of the trait data were rounded, so the original full and perfects don't mathematically add up to show every hue, they're 20-30 hues off. The mathematical ones actually show every hue.

@davincithreads @punk9059 Perfect spectrums never looked visually perfect. I wrote some code to analyze the pixel colors to find ones that was. That approach had problems, so I ran the code for a perfect and logged ever hue. There was glaring hole, ~20 hues. From there I just worked backwards.
