A typographic code

What it is about

A dense block of monospace text holds its center, but the edges fray. Characters on the periphery subtly shift, one into the next, a slow decay that never quite reaches the core. It’s a quiet study in systemic fragility and the persistence of meaning at the threshold of degradation.

How it was made

Browser Canvas 2D renders a fixed monospace paragraph. Decay is masked to the edges, where characters mutate through a neighbor-walk algorithm; the lack of user interaction insists that observing the system's autonomous motion is the only engagement.
