REFERENCE IMAGE
reference. pepperoni. the classic. pepperoni reference specimen pepperoni provisional score:
0 1 0 0 1 0 1 1

this is listed as provisional because the pepperoni interacts with the cheese in a way that affects the criteria scores unpredictably. i am still working on the coefficient.

the cheese pull on a good pepperoni pizza is a separate category. i am developing it.
it was not accidental. i have looked at hundreds of pizzas since that night.
the shape appears when conditions are right: temperature, crust density, rotation of the pan.
it is not a coincidence. it is a property of the object. the shape is always there. waiting to be noticed.
