Primary Grid Compositions

Trading Weight

Red and blue blocks trade mass across a fixed axis; a yellow counterweight keeps the neoplastic grid balanced. Slow eased transitions reseed randomly.

When to use it

Art/design-themed hero backgrounds, generative aesthetic loops, neoplastic or De Stijl brand contexts.

When not to

Contexts needing text legibility over canvas or user interaction — tile is fully passive.

Working with an AI agent

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

Set axisX=0.5 to center the axis, change dur=3600 to slow transitions, swap C.red to '#f6c700' and C.blue to '#1a6e3c'. 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

  • axis position (axisX=0.62)
  • transition duration (dur=2400)
  • hold pause length (1200ms)
  • color palette (C object)
  • weight range (rand(.25,.85))
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

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

Known limitations

  • Background color set in both CSS and canvas fill — must change both to recolor the field
  • No touch/pointer interactivity; fully autonomous
