Humans love the idea of unique individuals, all of us snowflakes, so to generate a large population of diverse individuals with as little work as possible, Levitated use a combinatorial system.

Combinatorial systems are simply discreet organizations of parts. By combining sets of differing parts--attributes: features, genetics--in unique ways, a [multitude of combinations are possible](http://www.levitated.net/bones/walkingFaces/index.html?ref=protein.xyz). " "Levitated's combinatorial critter's appearance is determined randomly from a set of pre-rendered graphic symbols representing various physical attributes." This is just one of Levitated's numerous math meets art projects. Also check the [computationally generated walking insects](http://www.levitated.net/exhibit/index.html?ref=protein.xyz) in exhibits, their [publications](http://www.levitated.net/bones/books.html?ref=protein.xyz) and [related projects](http://www.levitated.net/bones/sketchesInfo.html?ref=protein.xyz)
