Making Fractal geometries "Organic"

Hi guys, what I want to do here is to do a much more "Organic" fractal system.

Currently this 3 lines that will appear on every edge, but I want to try and make it random, meaning maybe gen1, only A + B will be used. C will be left out and "Die"?

Gen 2, B + C of the previous generation will be used. And A will be left out.

So basically I do not want it to be systematic, geometry generated at every edge. I want to randomize the appearance.

How do i achieve this?

I think it has something got to do with Random, set with a domain that has 3 numbers, selected numbers will be given a false, allowing the rest to be fed back to hoopsnake.

If you do not share the definition is difficult to help.
Indeed, it can be done with random, giving three values of 0 and 1, for the dispatch component. To each generation is different, you have to vary the seed, somehow connect with a changing value of hoopsnake.

Sorry bout that. So... I have to use Random, paired with Equality right? And for the seed, I can use the "I" values of Hoopsnake, that will +1 for every step.

Im just not too sure how to set up Random and where to insert it.

Appreciate it! Will take a look.

So far looks complex haha.

I'm trying to understand it now...

Cheers!

After a while trying to understand it, I think i got it haha. Thanks for the great help!

Learnt how to randomly split a list into 2 using random + Int.

One last question, I am looking at the Dispatch component. What if I wish to orient a different geometry onto list B (filtered data) and cumulate it after afew iterations of hoopsnake just like those in List A? I managed to orient a geometry using the points from list B, but it only applies to the latest iteration as it does not go thru hoopsnake to the Cumulative feedpack output.

Do I need to feed it back to the same Hoopsnake? I cant figure out how to do it.

And possibly, I can add another variation of lines, or a different geometry (spheres)
