A manifesto, hanging from threads.
A Verlet-cloth simulation. Each knot in the grid carries a letter from my three vision principles. The threads connecting them respond to gravity and to your hand, the spectrum runs horizontally from violet to red across the columns. Pull the cloth and the manifesto sways with it.
Tap or grab a knot, hear it pluck. Sweep the field. Read what hangs in between.

Why this exists.
Physics that is correct enough to feel right. Typography that doesn't just sit on a grid but earns its place by hanging from one. The cloth is a small honest thing: it shows that what holds words together can be touched, and that touching it doesn't break the meaning.
The Verlet cloth mechanic is adapted from a MIT-licensed Codepen by Liam Egan, reworked here for the Pete-DNA: spectrum colors per column, vision principles as the hanging text, React wrapper instead of vanilla canvas, tuned for static export. Original: codepen.io/shubniggurath/pen/ZYpjorm.
