ETExplorations into mathematics, fiction, and the human condition, built as software.
About the series
Software as a way of thinking about something
Most of what Field Bureau ships is a tool: a thing you reach for when you have a job to do. The ET series is different. These pieces start from a question (about a piece of mathematics, a Borges story, the way a deterministic rule produces something that feels alive) and the software is how we sit with the question long enough to see what comes out.
They tend to share a posture: a precise system at the bottom, an output too large to fully witness, and a human invited to wander through it. They are made to be experienced, not employed.
In the series
Mathematics: deterministic chaos
Chaos Studies
Nine strange attractors you can rotate, zoom, and listen to. The same deterministic equations that produce weather and traffic. Patterns that never repeat and never escape.
Fiction: the library of all possible icons
Codex ET-2
A warehouse of every 8×8 monochrome icon that can exist. Eighteen quintillion of them, addressable by coordinate. A finite take on Borges, walked one cell at a time.
Emergence: a flock that never rests
Murmuration ET-3
A 3D boids flock rendered live into an adaptive monospace ASCII grid. One murmuration of two temperaments, self-propelled so it never settles. Drag a hand through it and watch it heal.
New work lands when it's ready. There is no schedule.
