The Meaning & Connection Map: A Visual Encyclopedia of Ideas

Explore 50+ interconnected ideas — probability, feedback loops, LLMs, Bayesian inference — with plain-English explanations and concrete examples.

The Profile That Knows Almost Nothing About You

Meet a warm, plausible reading first, then inspect every broad statement, echoed clue, discarded miss, and many-guesses calculation behind it.

Human + AI ICU Prediction Laboratory

A wholly synthetic ICU laboratory showing when clinician–model probability ensembles improve—and when correlated errors or population shift defeat the average.

The Static-Equilibrium Illusion: Life Refuses to Hold Still

Explore human rhythms, delayed feedback, predator–prey dynamics, and field evidence to see why living stability is a process rather than a frozen number.

Before You Had a Heartbeat, You Were a Rhythm

Watch the calcium waves and pulses that activate animal eggs, compare their timing across species, and inspect what each experiment actually measured.

The Pixel Has a Postbox: Build a 3D World with Ray Marching

Build an interactive 3D world from signed distance fields, one camera ray and one fragment shader—then walk through the mathematics that makes it visible.

The Matrix Is Random. Why Does It Have a Shape?

Generate one seeded random matrix, inspect its entries, spectrum, singular values and geometry, then watch stable shapes emerge across an ensemble.

The Living Aperture: A Gastropod Shell Laboratory

Grow procedural gastropod shells aperture by aperture, sculpt logarithmic coiling and ornament, compare molluscan forms, and inspect model boundaries.

The Chitin Engine: A Xenobiological Creature Foundry

Hatch deterministic alien arthropods from body-plan grammars, cellular armour, and inverse-kinematic legs, then mutate them across imagined worlds.

The Patient Through the Machine · Part 1 · WAIT

The Prior Authorization Machine: a patient, an MRI, and the invisible decisions between them

Follow one fictional MRI request through portal/fax and FHIR-enabled pathways to see transaction time, human work, and patient waiting diverge.

The Strange Attractor Orchestra: When Chaos Learns to Sing

Strange attractors become audiovisual instruments as deterministic chaos passes through coherent noise and emerges as music in the browser.

The Clock That Escaped Into Space: A Belousov–Zhabotinsky Laboratory

An interactive WebGL laboratory for chemical clocks, target waves, spiral cores, and the crucial difference between BZ waves and Turing patterns.

Thinking Outside the Box: The Perlin Bloom Engine

Grow a bioluminescent flower from coherent noise, press it against a holographic boundary, and watch symmetry acquire the courage to escape.

Weather Inside the Nucleus

Intervene in a synthetic gene-regulation model and compare 48 matched histories to see how signaling and nuclear geometry change transcriptional odds.

The Chemistry That Draws Without a Hand: A Reaction–Diffusion Atlas

Paint two virtual chemicals, cross the Gray–Scott feed–kill plane, inspect every PDE term, and test whether a pattern deserves belief.

The Museum of Invisible Weather

Curate nine deterministic prints from one nested-noise weather field, then freeze, share, inspect, and export the same procedural exhibition.

The Landscape of Error: An Interactive Atlas of Gradient Descent

Drop optimisers into bowls, ravines, saddles, and many-valley terrain; compare their paths, inspect curvature, map basins, and fit a regression line.

The Bias Archipelago: Why the Mind’s Errors Are Not Islands

An interactive bathymetric atlas of cognitive biases, revealing shared mechanisms, research lineages, and conditions that make one shortcut recruit another.

The Particle That Could Not Make Up Its Mind

A hands-on laboratory for Brownian motion, drift, confinement, memory, first passage, and the precise laws hidden inside random motion.

Lightning Atlas: How the Sky Finds the Ground

Watch a seeded Kalbaisakhi storm build a broad, branching lightning channel through charge, terrain, attachment, return stroke, and delayed thunder.

The Machine That Misplaces Tomorrow: A Double-Pendulum Atlas of Chaos

Two rods, two weights, no randomness—and a future that flies apart when you breathe on it. Disturb and map the deterministic chaos of a double pendulum.

The Fractal Atlas: A Field Guide to Infinity

Explore Mandelbrot and Julia sets, Burning Ships, Newton basins, ferns and recursive curves in a hands-on fractal laboratory.

The City That Refuses a Master Plan

Place one sweet shop and let Wave Function Collapse grow a fictional Calcutta neighbourhood of lanes, ponds, tram tracks, drains, and civic exceptions.

How a Scanner Sees: Reconstructing a Body from Shadows

Paint a synthetic CT phantom, collect X-ray projections, and rebuild it with back-projection and filtered back-projection.

Complex Functions as Landscapes: A 3D Domain-Colouring Laboratory

Explore complex functions in synchronised 2D and 3D: read log-magnitude terrain, phase colour, zeros, poles, branch cuts, winding, and Riemann sheets.

The Neuron Zoo

Send one stimulus through five neuron models, from McCulloch–Pitts to Hodgkin–Huxley, and see what every simplification preserves or leaves behind.

Create Art: A Living Pigment Studio

Paint with digital pigments that spread, mix, dry, granulate, and continue evolving after every stroke.

Spacetime Laboratory

An interactive shader laboratory for exploring black holes, gravitational lensing, cosmic expansion, gravitational waves, and Einstein’s field equation.

The Casino That Calculates: An Interactive Monte Carlo Laboratory

A shader-powered laboratory for watching sampled points estimate π, reveal statistical error, and demonstrate how Monte Carlo methods converge.

Artificial Life Lab

Artificial Life Lab: Evolve a Digital Ecosystem in Your Browser

Grow a seeded digital ecosystem in the browser: microbes inherit traits, forage, reproduce with mutation, face selection pressure, drift, predators, ageing, and death.

Hello, Fragment: Your First Shader from Scratch

Build a luminous, pointer-responsive fragment shader in p5.js WebGL, learning coordinates, uniforms, colour, time, and interference one visible step at a time.

Hello, Observable: Your First Living D3 Visualization

Build a responsive, animated sine-wave explorer from first principles while learning Observable cells, D3 selections, SVG marks, scales, data joins, interaction, and browser-safe embedding.
