Begin with a Markov chain built using the bigrams of the chemical elements (up to Oganesson (Og, 118) as of 1 Aug 2021). For example, the element oxygen forms the chain START -> ox -> xy -> yg -> ge -> en -> END.

Combine these chains (things get interesting when one bigram can go in many directions such as "li") and traverse the graph by picking the next node in the graph using the traverse buffer. Continue until END to get the name of your element, which may be the name of an existing element.

This markov chain was generated with markov.rb and converted to JSON.

The atomic number of our new element is computed by multiplying the protons vector by 300. The atomic weight is computed using atomicNumber * (1.5 + weight).

From the atomic number, draw electrons according to the Bohr model, where each ring can hold 2n² electrons. Rotate each ring according to the nth byte in the rotations buffer.
