Interactive

These interactive SVG animations are based on the same concept illustrated in the Tholonic Coloring Book and NotClock. An SVG file (Scalable Vector Graphics) is a standard graphics file used for rendering two-dimensional images over the web. However, SVG files can also contain JavaScript code, which means an entire JavaScript application can exist with an image file. These SVGs here are some I built to experiment with that possibility.

NotClock

NotClock is an SVG-based clock that, rather than dividing the day into 24 parts (hours), it is divided into 6 parts. Each part is again divided by 6 parts, and so on, 6 times. This was developed as a testing and research tool for applying the ‘tholonic tree’ algorithm to different contexts. This is an ongoing project, and being a research project, it is not by any stretch finished, well-designed, efficient, or maintainable code, but it works well enough for the purposes it was built for. It has only been tested on the Brave browser. Latest version always on GitHub.

Tholonic Coloring Book

Many forms from one pattern. These forms, with appear to mimic natural forms of life and nature, are all made from the same basic model of the ‘tholonic tree’ of one point becoming 2 for 6 generations, terminating in a ‘leaf’. The differences in these images come from variations in distance and angle determined by different contextual rules based based on what is happening around them at each stage in their growth. These images are a single selected samples from the complete growth cycle of a 360 degrees of various ‘tree’ patterns.

Transforms

These animations are composed of 360 individual frames, with each frame representing 1 degree of rotation around a circle. These are 6-generation fractals, where one point splits into two points 6 times. The movement is caused by a small change in detail (angle, length color, etc.) in the first parent point/line, which is then passed down to all the children one generation at a time. In some cases, the children act identically to the parent, and in other cases, some children act differently.

Videos

These are the video created by the Tholonia Project and are in some way related to the tholonic concepts. As such, many deal with what is currently seen as metaphysical or esoteric subjects. We categorize them this way because science has not yet expanded its thinking to include parts of reality that are just as real, if not more so, that this material spectrum we place most of our attention on. Science will eventually get there, and we can see early signs of this in the more bleeding edges of theory that require concepts of a multiverse, morphic fields, and consciousness-as-a-force to explain reality.
