There Is(Ǝ) – Such That (∋)

There Is(Ǝ) – Such That (∋) is a browser-based interactive tool for composing procedural clocks using mathematical concepts and visual elements. The platform offers a square canvas featuring a large circle, where users can manipulate vectors representing time—such as the vector of hours (raven), minutes (crow), and seconds (mag-pi)—as well as an origin vector. These vectors can be combined and transformed into scalars through operations like dot products and normalized magnitudes, and further manipulated with arithmetic operations including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

The tool provides a range of visual and compositional elements. Glyphs, such as the moon, sun, and star, visualize vectors on the canvas, while lines connect vectors to illustrate relationships. Habitats like grass, trees, nebulae, and others add compositional depth, responding dynamically to vector inputs. Users can tune numerous parameters that affect the overall composition, including cycles per day, hours per cycle, breath depth and speed, stroke weights, themes, and colors. A layers panel is in development, and a debug mode allows users to visually inspect and interact with the composition, including scrubbing through the day to observe changes.

The interface is designed to be mostly wordless, using sigils and hand-drawn icons to minimize clutter. Compositions are created on a "Loom" as node graphs, where nodes representing types can be connected with arrows. js sketch that previews changes in real time. Finished clocks can be exported as standalone HTML files, which are self-contained and can be opened offline or embedded elsewhere. The tool uses localStorage for autosave, undo history, and preferences, ensuring that all work remains in the user's browser.

There Is(Ǝ) – Such That (∋) is aimed at individuals interested in mathematics, creative coding, and interactive visualizations.
