Patterns / Computation / Small experiments
A rule that writes its own road
A tiny reversible walker makes an irregular tangle, then a repeating highway. Try the rules forwards and backwards.
Sound / Perception / Small experiments
A staircase made of sound
A little scale that seems to keep climbing, even though every twelve steps it returns to exactly the same sound.
Sea / Sound / Small experiments
The sea as a frequency mixer
A question about opposing waves led to tiny tremors in the Earth—and a surprisingly familiar piece of synthesiser maths.

A place to follow a question
A beginning, a little room for curiosity, and no particular promise about where the next question will lead.
Room for the unexpected.
Some questions lead to a calculation. Others lead to a sound, a story, or another question. There’s space here for all of them.
