THE SAME STRETCH OF WORLD, DRAWN THREE WAYS
Ruler Range.
The first profile has no noise in it at all — its mountains stand exactly where the edge run says they stand, and are exactly as tall as the run is long: buildRidge. The second is the original Atlas world along one row, where that run is a north–south wall at every divisible column. The third is the ranges recipe on the same row: the same law read in two dimensions, bent, broken, and deepened. Does the sequence make a landscape? Look.
