Procedural Generation [general article]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procedural_generation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procedural_generation Somewhat related: Lazy Evaluation [from Functional programming (FP) languages]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazy_evaluation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazy_evaluation Random observation: If a given raytracing algorithm (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_tracing_(graphics) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_tracing_(graphics) only evaluates visible points for a 2D image created as a view from a set of 3D data -- then that's sort of similar to the FP concept of Lazy Evaluation, that is, "delay the evaluation of an expression until its value is needed"... Which in turn, prima facie, seems at least cursorily related to "Observation collapses the wave function": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_function_collapse https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_function_collapse
