Symbolic Pastel Abstraction
The Duality
Two concentric ring systems — rose and blue — slowly breathe apart and together; a golden vesica glows where they overlap, with a center dot marking the axis.

When to use it
Art-inspired hero backgrounds, meditative or spiritual UIs, gallery intros referencing symbolic-abstract style or sacred geometry.
When not to
Layouts requiring legible content over the canvas — the breathing animation competes with text. Light-background designs need CSS override.
Working with an AI agent
Every component ships agent-ready metadata. An example instruction for this one:
Change the rose circle color to deep violet (#7c5cbf) by updating PAL.rose, and slow the breath cycle to 0.4 by changing the t*0.7 multiplier. 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
- circle colors (PAL.rose, PAL.blue)
- breath speed (t*0.7 multiplier)
- separation range (0.62-0.10*breath)
- radial ring count (N=7)
- vesica glow intensity (glow base 0.30)
- theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)
Keep intact
- DPR-aware fitCanvas with setTransform
- visibilitychange pause/resume
- reduced-motion static draw guard
- theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)
Known limitations
- Background color (#ece4d4) is set in CSS body, not canvas — must edit separately
- No pointer or click interactivity — purely passive
