Give meaning
a body.

The same semantic neighborhood rendered four ways. Change the word, density, and motion to feel what each visual treatment encourages you to notice.

All panels receive the same neighbor list. Only the visual grammar changes.

01 · TOPOLOGY

Constellation

D3 force ↗
  • lightning
  • rain
  • storm
  • noise
  • cloud
  • sound
  • echo
  • shout

Best for seeing hubs and link strength. Position is simulated; connectivity is the signal.

02 · PROFILE

Sensorimotor proxy

Recharts ↗
Choose a bundled benchmark word for the vector-derived radar.

Best for an interpretable silhouette. This prototype uses semantic anchor groups, not human-rated norms.

03 · PROXIMITY

Semantic orbit

Motion ↗
thunder
lightningrainstormnoisecloudsoundechoshout

Best for making closeness feel alive. Ring distance is rank-banded, not literal vector distance.

04 · LANGUAGE FIELD

Typographic cloud

Motion text ↗

Best for scanning vocabulary quickly. Type size encodes normalized relevance.

FROM MODEL OUTPUT TO PLAYER FEELING

What does each picture make you do?

ConstellationTrace a route

Encourages exploration and bridge-finding between clusters.

Good for midgame
RadarCompare a shape

Makes hidden dimensions legible and differences easy to verbalize.

Good for strategy
OrbitFeel the heat

Turns rank into movement and creates an immediate center of gravity.

Good for delight
Word fieldGenerate branches

Surfaces vocabulary without imposing a single path through it.

Good for ideation
