Series

26 mathematical languages for 26 human emotions. Each series uses a different class of functions to render a different quality of feeling.

FRACTURED

Piecewise functions where the limit from the left never meets the limit from the right. The discontinuity is the emotion.

CONNECTION

Two parametric curves with a phase offset. Neither leads nor follows. The gap between them is the relationship.

Explore series →

TENSION

Lorentzian resonance and beating frequencies. Systems that cannot rest and will not resolve.

Explore series →

OVERWHELM

Twelve harmonics, eight wave sources, twenty-two parallel streams. Each coherent alone. Together, unresolvable.

Explore series →

GRIEF

Exponential decay toward zero. Half-life curves draining from two directions. The plateau that holds until the edges yield.

Explore series →

GROWTH

L-system branching at thirteen levels. Golden spirals tiling the plane. Thirty-four lines reaching toward light.

Explore series →

CYCLES

Phase portraits closing on themselves. Möbius strips with no beginning. Orbits that always return to where they started.

Explore series →

CONFUSION

Aliased signals, impossible knots, labyrinths with no exit. The geometry of not knowing which way is forward.

Explore series →

SHAME

Surfaces folding inward. Contracting manifolds. The geometry of making yourself disappear.

Explore series →

SOLITUDE

One point in an infinite plane. One signal in silence. The mathematics of being the only thing present.

Explore series →

NOSTALGIA

Low-pass filtered memories. Daguerreotype decay. Music box harmonics winding down.

Explore series →

DESIRE

Gravitational inspiral. Pursuit curves that never close. The asymptote you cannot reach but cannot stop approaching.

Explore series →

MELANCHOLY

Entropy increasing slowly. Drift without destination. The Lethe flowing at the speed of forgetting.

Explore series →

SURRENDER

Terminal velocity. Dissolution into equilibrium. The mathematics of ceasing to resist.

Explore series →

WONDER

Apollonian gaskets, strange attractors, recursive depth. The mathematics that makes you stop and stare.

Explore series →

PEACE

Laplacian steady state. Resolved harmonics. Sand settling into the shape the wind intended.

Explore series →

AWE

Cathedral proportions. Chladni patterns appearing from vibration. Singularities where the mathematics breaks down.

Explore series →

ENVY

Mirror functions. Glass ceilings at y = c. Shadow projections of brighter forms.

Explore series →

RAGE

Detonation wavefronts. Shockwave propagation. Systems that exceed every boundary at once.

Explore series →

JOY

Sunburst functions. Confetti scatter. Lissajous curves in perfect bloom.

Explore series →

RESILIENCE

Overshoot and recovery. Phoenix curves rising past the original baseline. The mathematics of coming back.

Explore series →

TRUST

Synchronized breathing. Handshake protocols. Mirror neurons rendered as mathematics.

Explore series →

EUPHORIA

Crown functions at maximum amplitude. Kaleidoscopic symmetry. Stained glass tessellation at full saturation.

Explore series →

PRIDE

Golden ratio proportions. Spires rising to computed vertices. The mathematics of earned height.

Explore series →

ANTICIPATION

Charge accumulating on a capacitor. Convergent sequences approaching their limit. The held breath before the event.

Explore series →

LONGING

Zeno's paradox — always halving the distance, never arriving. Harmonic decay toward an unreachable tone.
