Abstract Geometric Improvisations

The Great Gate of the Spiritual

7 concentric coloured arcs breathe outward from a focal point while 36 radial rays beat rhythmically; a stacked circle and triangle pulse at the centre gate.

When to use it

Dark-mode hero backgrounds, art/gallery contexts, ambient looping screensavers inspired by abstract expressionism.

When not to

Light-background UIs (background hardcoded dark near-black). Contexts requiring legible text overlays — the motion competes with reading.

Working with an AI agent

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

Change the arc count from 7 to 9 by setting N=9, shift the focal point upward with cy=H*0.5, and replace PAL.blue with '#0a6e6e' for a teal centre circle. 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

  • arc count (N=7)
  • focal point position (cy=H*0.62)
  • ray count (rays=36)
  • colour palette (PAL object)
  • breath speed (t*1.2 phase)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • DPR-aware fitCanvas() sizing
  • visibilitychange pause/resume
  • prefers-reduced-motion guard with static fallback
  • IIFE wrapper
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

  • Background colour hardcoded in CSS (#17151a) — must edit to change dark field
  • No pointer interactivity — purely passive
  • Trail-based rendering (fillRect with alpha) can leave ghost artefacts on some GPU compositors

  • Several Circles13 coloured discs drift and pulse on a charcoal ground with blend-mode overlaps and halos; a pale diagonal line sways below. An abstract composition.
  • Singing CompositionTriangles, arcs, circles and lines in Bauhaus primaries spawn, breathe and dissolve on warm paper in an endless generative composition inspired by abstract.
  • The Rhythm ScoreA red playhead sweeps 16-step staves of blue circles, yellow triangles, and red squares; each note flares in size and opacity as the head crosses it.
  • Concentric ResonanceColored rings burst outward from random points on a dark field, fading as they expand — abstract's concentric forms in perpetual motion.
  • Yellow-Red-Blue Counterpoint24 bars in yellow, red, and cobalt rise and fall in sine-wave counterpoint on warm paper, echoing abstract's three-voice color theory.
  • The Orbiting TroikaThree colored spheres (blue, yellow, vermilion) orbit a black sun at harmonic speeds, leaving fading color trails that form a slowly turning rosette.
