Same sentence, three constructions - do you find the method changes the result?

I’ve been putting one intent through three different constructions to see what comes out:

•	Alphabet wheel - the alphabet laid round a circle, letters joined in order. Comes out spidery and asymmetric.

•	Pythagorean square - each letter reduced to 1–9, cells joined in a 3×3. Comes out blocky, and repeats in the sentence make it fold back on itself.

•	Planetary kamea - the same letters walked through the magic square of a planet, so the planet is baked into the shape. Saturn’s 3×3 gives you a

spare zigzag; the Moon’s 9×9 is nearly a lattice.

Same words, three completely different marks.

My instinct is the construction is only scaffolding, the work is in the charge, and any of them would do. I notice I feel differently about the kamea ones and I don’t know whether that’s meaningful or just novelty.

For those of you who use more than one: do you pick the method to suit the intent (planet for the planetary matter, etc), or do you have one you always use and the rest are curiosities?
