@rreusser Gorgeous! I’m not totally sure what I’m looking at here. Is this a pan and zoom over a single tiling, or are you sneakily stitching multiple tilings together? I’ll be curious to hear the whole story later.

@csk it’s a single tiling. Each supertile is assigned a color, and it blends the colors across a couple ancestor levels above and below the current view scale. As you zoom out, small tiles get aggregated and their color influence disappears. Then it’s just a brute force random search for a distant but connected tree that matches the starting point for five substitution levels. Zoom, pan, and loop! The aggregation is questionable and has seams, so I had to brute force the rendering a bit to patch over it, but I ended up pretty happy with the result!
