Trailing spaces allowed. Shortest solution wins.

Is this some sort of a Dragon curve?
– None – 2017-09-19T18:21:24.9631How can we output this? ASCII only, graph-like like Stewie commented, etc? – Rɪᴋᴇʀ – 2017-09-19T18:24:58.037
@Riker I tagged ascii-art but you can graph it if you like, well, if it leads to shorter code... – ngn – 2017-09-19T18:27:50.247

@ngn output only challenges without any explanation to the way the data was formed are usually frowned upon (see https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/q/126037), because the first answer tends to blow off the "mysterious" part
– Uriel – 2017-09-19T18:32:20.9102@Uriel, what about requiring spoiler tags for such questions? The mystery is appealing -- shame to throw it out altogether... – Jonah – 2017-09-19T18:35:18.807
@Uriel That's what kolmogorov-complexity is about, isn't it? I agree, after it's cracked, there won't be much pleasure in solving the puzzle. All that remains will be basic golfing... – ngn – 2017-09-19T18:36:22.960
16Personally I don't like challenges like this where finding out the rule / recipe is part of the task. Besides, once a person finds it, all others can just follow it, so why not post in the first place? – Luis Mendo – 2017-09-19T18:56:26.530
1This challenge was well received. Perhaps because of all the extra stuff posted along with the string. – H.PWiz – 2017-09-19T19:07:54.237
11@LuisMendo It's an interesting argument. Code golf in its purest form is about "implementing a known solution succinctly." Puzzles in their purest form are about finding a solution -- the implementation is either not relevant or considered busy work. One option would be to post the "trick" in spoilers. That way the pure code golfers to attack the problem as a golfing challenge, and those who like both the golf and puzzle challenges could avoid looking and solve both. – Jonah – 2017-09-19T19:13:06.190
5I think the "mysterious" part is something that I could definitely see more of. Although one answer might find the trick to it, the rest of it is still a regular code-golf challenge... And it provides a good challenge for those who aim to find the pattern in the beginning anyways. – totallyhuman – 2017-09-19T22:22:48.993
3@H.PWiz, I'm not sure that +26/-7 is really "well received". It looks more like "poorly received but managed to hit the HNQ fast enough to get a skewed score". – Peter Taylor – 2017-09-20T11:58:05.913
Can we output an array containing strings of each line? – Shaggy – 2017-09-20T11:59:36.540
@Shaggy I'm afraid the output wouldn't look as desired then – ngn – 2017-09-20T12:14:20.747
