Symbolic Pastel Abstraction

Atom Series

Three pastel atom diagrams — concentric rings, orbiting dots, center glyphs — connected by a faint triangle. After symbolic-abstract's atom studies.

When to use it

Neutral or warm hero backgrounds with a mystical or generative art theme. Ambient gallery or screensaver contexts.

When not to

Layouts requiring legible text overlaid on canvas — soft pastels provide little contrast. Not suitable as a UI widget.

Working with an AI agent

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

Change PASTELS[0] from '#a9c8e0' to '#ff9f80', increase satellite count (sat) to 8 per atom, and halve orbital speed by changing 0.5 to 0.25 in the sp formula. 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

  • PASTELS color array
  • cells position array (cx/cy proportions)
  • ring count per atom (rings: 2+random)
  • satellite count (sat: 2+random)
  • orbital speed multiplier (0.3+Math.random()*0.5)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

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

Known limitations

  • Background color hardcoded in CSS (#ece4d4) — must edit HTML to change
  • Atom positions are fixed proportional coordinates; no responsive reflow beyond scaling
  • Glyph type and satellite count randomized at build time — reload for different arrangements
