Mathematics,
set in motion.
Pendulum waves, Möbius strips, Chladni patterns and more, each one a few lines of math animated live.
A personal side project, made just for fun.
Articulated form
One motion. Endless configurations.
Endless ascent
Always climbing. Never arriving.
Pendulum wave
Order slips into rhythm.
Interference
A pattern between patterns.
Three-body problem
Three bodies. One delicate balance.
Möbius strip
Two sides become one.
Gyroscope
A quiet balance of turning worlds.
Rolling cube
One layer leads. The whole follows.
Rolling wave
A wave with no beginning or end.
Tesseract
A glimpse beyond three dimensions.
Impossible triangle
Perspective holds it together.
Spirograph
Circles drawing something new.
Epicycles
Small circles. A larger picture.
Chladni patterns
Stillness, shaped by vibration.
Kaleidoscope
One fragment. Infinite reflections.
Rolling polygons
Every edge takes its turn.
Iris mechanism
Many blades. One opening.
Trammel of Archimedes
Two straight paths draw a curve.
Phyllotaxis spiral
A small angle. A natural order.
Articulated hexagon
Six pivots. New intersections.
Geneva drive
Continuous motion. Measured steps.
Miura fold
One crease moves the whole.
Branching rules
A small instruction becomes a tree.
Collective motion
No leader. A shared direction.
Gravity well
Always falling. Never landing.
Prism
One beam in. Every colour out.
A little less scrolling.
A little more looking.
Kinetic is a collection of small experiments in motion. Familiar shapes, simple mathematical rules, and the unexpected beauty that happens when they meet.
Open a study. Change the rhythm. Stay for a while.
Kinetic is open source, created by mnove. Read the code, fork it, or contribute a study.
