Symbolic Pastel Abstraction

Spiral of Becoming

Logarithmic spiral slowly rotates and breathes while pastel nodes pulse with radial glows along its arm — generative geometry in symbolic-abstract's theosophical idiom.

When to use it

Ambient hero backgrounds, spiritual or art-themed UIs, generative art galleries, loading screens needing calm motion.

When not to

Light-background UIs clashing with the warm linen (#ece4d4) background. Contexts requiring legible text over the center.

Working with an AI agent

Every component ships agent-ready metadata. An example instruction for this one:

Change PASTELS to warm earth tones (['#d4a96a','#c47c5a','#e8d4a0','#b07840','#d4b896']), slow rotation by setting rot=t*0.10, increase turns to 6. Theme: dark tokens live in :root, the light variant in :root[data-theme="light"]; ?theme=light or a {type:'forever:theme'} postMessage switches at runtime.

Safe to edit

  • pastel node colors (PASTELS array)
  • spiral turn count (turns=4.4)
  • rotation speed (t*0.25 in rot)
  • growth breathing speed (t*0.45)
  • node spacing along spiral (th+=0.55)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • DPR-aware fitCanvas sizing
  • IIFE wrapper
  • prefers-reduced-motion guard (REDUCED)
  • visibilitychange stop/start
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

  • Background color hardcoded in CSS (#ece4d4) — must edit to change from warm linen
  • No pointer interactivity wired
  • Spiral growth breathing may feel slow before sine completes first cycle
