- •Clean design with explorable scenarios.
Weaknesses
- •Content piece rather than usable tool.
- •Economic argument restates existing Baumol cost disease concepts.

Emergent Field Explorer – interactive moiré with easy shareable links
The interaction is dead-simple — click or drag the top layer and double-click to tweak patterns, colors and effects — but the neat part is the blur→posterize post-process that turns tiny interference ripples into organic blobs. Exporting state as a URL-encoded preset is a smart, lightweight sharing hack that makes it easy to swap wild configurations without a backend.
