I applaud your hitherto unknown to me ability to make CS4 feel like messy CS5 - you are not rustbell. rustbell's ever shifting and building interpretations work because his interpretations are actually good; every interpretation plays off the others plus the song, and each is so strong that in playing I hear the song differently as the map (rustbell) dictates. Every reinterpretation here adds up to an unjustified gimmick, pointless aping, rather than a decided and executed concept.
I hate to say it but if rustbell’s ideas fascinate you the lost dedicated is the last place I would take inspiration from/pay tribute to for this idea, something you should know yourself as the kind of structure Make You Whole uses only takes its true form in his later maps. All this and a deliberate reference your map still lacks anything but the most superficial resemblance, your sharp angular absolute aversion to uncomfortable linear and even rotational movement, comparatively loose ungeometric patterning (really I should say non-patterning, prolific NCs, visual organisation, and general movement make most objects in repeating “patterns” feel like individual discrete movements) carries none of the meditative/hypnotic quality of the lost dedicated, one it manages to convey while still being more dynamic in its rigidity. Your map feels stressful, despite being much easier, which is the exact opposite.
I sentence you to 10 years of bounce connected DISC1 pt. A
