This visualization shows a minimal dynamic system composed of three inseparable aspects:
O — Context
An asymmetric field (ring) that imposes no direction, but does create room for play and boundaries.
V — Direction
Movement that arises as a result of asymmetry in the field. Direction here is not a choice, but a consequence.
I — Observation
The degree to which a unit can follow the field. Not everything that moves can also observe or attune.
Each unit is not an object with properties, but a local convergence of I, V and O.
What is actually happening here?
- Without asymmetry (O), no direction (V) arises.
- Without direction, observation (I) has nothing to relate to.
- Without observation, movement becomes meaningless.
The ring is not an object, but a structural boundary: a place where difference arises, stabilizes, or falls apart.
What can you investigate?
By shifting the parameters you can observe:
- when movement becomes coherent
- when direction detaches from context
- when observation collapses or stabilizes
- how local interaction can form patterns, even without central control
There is no "correct" setting. The system shows states, not outcomes.
How to engage with this
- Look first.
- Then move one parameter at a time.
- Pay attention not to forms, but to transitions.
This visualization explains nothing. It makes visible what happens when.
