Playground

The knowledge, made visible

The deep field

The biggest hubs in three parallax layers — move your pointer for depth, hover a star and click to open the concept. Depth encodes connectedness, not a fabricated axis.

Coverage matrix

Domains by thinking families: the brighter a cell, the more concepts sit at that intersection. Hover a cell to see which concepts live there. Dark cells are honest gaps.

Domain chord

How the nine domains connect through relations — each ribbon a bundle of cross-domain edges. Hover a domain to isolate its threads.

Domain sunburst

The hierarchy: nine domains inside, their disciplines outside, each sized by concept count. A discipline links to its lens.

Relation spectrum

The mix of relation types across the whole graph — part-of and applies-to carry the fabric, contradicts is rare.

Observability for knowledge

The control panel: the graph’s headline metrics and a tile per domain with its coverage. Every number is a real count — no vanity score.

About this view

What this is

A growing collection of interactive information graphics over the same real graph — each a different way of looking.

On the canvas

Hand-rolled SVG straight on the background, glowing marks, self-drawing — not a chart in a box.

Deterministic & honest

Every figure is computed server-side from real data; no fabricated numbers, no score. Motion rests under reduced-motion.
