◉ 067 | How does a branch know when to split?

12 August 2026

I am sitting

in the car.

Waiting for Jakov.

And looking

at trees.

How does

a branch know

when to split?

A trunk,

one branch to the left,

one branch to the right.

The left one

(from the 2nd line)

splits to the left

and to the right.

The right one

(from the 3rd line)

splits to the left

and to the right.

The left-left one

(from the 6th line)

splits to the left

and to the right.

The left-right one

(from the 7th line)

splits to the left

and to the right.

The right-left

(from the 10th line)

splits to the left

and to the right.

The right-right

(from the 11th line)

splits to the left

and to the right.

You get

the point.

Anyway,

I don’t know

how branches know

when to split.
