De Stijl Neoplastic
Line Weave
Horizontal and vertical cream lines thread and interlace over primary-color blocks on a dark field, with bright nodes at crossing points during the weave sweep.

When to use it
Art/design portfolio heroes, geometric or neoplastic-inspired brand contexts, ambient dashboard backgrounds needing a structured, calm motion loop.
When not to
Contexts requiring readable text overlays — the crossing node flashes compete with content. Not suited for light-background UIs (background is hardcoded dark).
Working with an AI agent
Every component ships agent-ready metadata. An example instruction for this one:
Change VX to [0.25, 0.50, 0.75] for an even three-column grid, swap BLUE to '#6B21A8' (purple), and slow the cycle by setting P=12.0. 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
- vertical line positions (VX array)
- horizontal line positions (HY array)
- color block definitions (BLOCKS array)
- cycle duration (P=8.0)
- line weight scale (S*0.018)
- theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)
Keep intact
- DPR-aware canvas sizing
- visibilitychange pause/play
- reduced-motion drawOneFrame() fallback
- IIFE wrapper
- theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)
Known limitations
- Background color hardcoded to dark (#0e0e10) — must edit CSS var to change
- Interlace over/under effect is visual only (draw order trick), not true clipping
More De Stijl Neoplastic components
- Grid RecomposeBlack grid lines slide between asymmetric positions with cubic easing, repartitioning red, blue, yellow, and off-white rectangles in neoplastic style.
- Boogie Pulse26 primary-color blocks travel and blink along a black asymmetric De Stijl grid over static color-field plaques, evoking neoplastic's Broadway Boogie-Woogie.
- Block FillPrimary-color rectangles wipe and rise in staggered sequence to fill cells of an asymmetric black De Stijl grid on warm white; loops continuously.
- Dynamic EquilibriumSix neoplastic-colored rectangles hang from a tilting beam; a spring-damper drives it toward equilibrium while a slow bias keeps it gently alive.
- Counter CompositionA neoplastic grid of red, blue, and yellow cells divided by black bars rotates from 38° and settles to a gentle 15° resting angle with a slow living drift.
- Split PlaneA square canvas splits along alternating seams; two halves slide apart and reflow into new De Stijl primary-color compositions every 4.4 s.
