FlowInGlow

For my fourth sketch of Mathober that is coded in Hydra & SonicPi , FlowinGlow will be using the 4th prompt of Mathober 2024: Form and 13th prompt: Cyclic Hexagon. FlowInGlow will be using various geometric “Forms” for the visuals and previously coded SonicPi Composition based on layering/modifying Hexagons post-code.

Forms
What are they?
What do they proclaim?
Is being in a form a necessary aim?
For yesterday, tomorrow or today?
