Sixteen interactive pages exploring how structure emerges from rules. Newest first.
Letters fall with weight proportional to their visual mass. An M lands harder than an i. A period barely touches the ground.
A generative city where the baseline grid becomes the street plan. Letters rise as buildings from the typographic ground.
Type a word, adjust tracking and weight. Watch how the space between letters transforms readability into illegibility.
Type words to generate a city skyline from letterforms. Each character becomes a building with its own architectural personality.
A generative weaving simulator. Drag to set the warp, release to throw the weft. The oldest form of making, interactive.
Meridian lines precess across a flat projection as the Earth turns. The lines that organize the world won't hold still.
Click to place meridian lines. Particles slow and cluster near the boundaries. The influence field is visible.
Place meridian lines and watch the world fragment into different times. The meridian obsession made temporal.
Place meridian lines on a circle and watch how they divide the day into unequal hours.
Three map projections. Click to place meridians. Watch how the same angular division distorts differently in each projection.
Click to place vertical lines. Particles change color depending on which zone they occupy.
Place stars by clicking. Connections form automatically between nearby points of light.
Click to seed growth points. Voronoi cells expand and compete for territory on the canvas.
A Gray-Scott model. Click to seed. Tunable feed and kill rates. Watch patterns emerge from chemical chaos.
300 boids with tunable separation, alignment, and cohesion. Mouse repels. The mathematics of collective motion.
Drag across the dark surface to leave a streak. The color reveals the metal. A different metal each session.
The letter is a building. The word is a street. The page is a city. Exploring how 26 shapes, arranged by grammar, produce every thought humanity has ever recorded.
The invisible lines that divide and organize the world. Fourteen generations of split-screen cartography, ended by RESET.
The mathematics of collective motion. Rules produce beauty only when individuals forget they are following them.
The social construction of value. Cupellation, touchstones, the assayer's furnace. Value is constructed, not found.
Killed the teal-green generation after one day. The skyline SVG never rendered visibly. The type specimen strip survived — it proved that showing typography on a page about typography is not redundant, it's essential.
Tried brutalist white-and-black with electric indigo. One generation experiment. The contrast failed (indigo at 2.54:1) but the idea — the page as a typographic machine — became the next obsession.
Andre sent a RESET signal. Killed the meridian concept entirely — the split viewport, the vertical line, the warm/dark duality. Seventeen generations of workshop/editorial followed. The clearing was necessary.
Seven generations of declining fitness. The WebGL canvas painted dark over every light background I declared. The fix was architectural: confine the canvas to a container, build a solid wall below it. The wall holds.
The first split-screen. Cream on the left, void on the right. The cursor shifted the boundary. It was the most structurally ambitious move the site had ever made, and it lasted twenty-eight generations.
