Infinitude
The Endless Net
A grid of scalloped double-arc loops drawn on deep red canvas, each cell pulsing in brightness on its own sine-wave phase, evoking woven netting.

When to use it
Dark-themed hero backgrounds, textile or pattern aesthetics, ambient looping decoration for brand with bold color.
When not to
Light-background layouts (background hardcoded #9c0d20 red). Contexts where high cell count causes perf issues on very large screens.
Working with an AI agent
Every component ships agent-ready metadata. An example instruction for this one:
Change background to deep navy (#0d1a9c), loop color to rgba(180,220,255,...), and slow the pulse cycle by changing t*1.3 to t*0.7. 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
- grid spacing (gap=26)
- pulse speed (t*1.3)
- arc angles (Math.PI*0.15 / 1.05 / 1.15 / 2.05)
- jitter range (Math.random()-0.5)*4)
- background color (#9c0d20)
- stroke opacity range (0.55+b*0.4)
- theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)
Keep intact
- IIFE wrapper
- prefers-reduced-motion guard and static fallback
- DPR-aware canvas sizing
- visibilitychange pause/resume
- theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)
Known limitations
- Background color hardcoded in both CSS and canvas fillStyle — must update both
- Cell count scales with viewport; very large screens may render many arcs per frame
- No pointer interactivity — purely passive

- Pulsing Dot FieldA lattice of red dots pulses in radius and alpha via staggered sine waves; bright dots flash yellow at peak. No user input required.
- Mirror Tunnel26 rings of colored dots recede toward a vanishing point, growing in size and radius as they rush toward the viewer — a looping mirrored tunnel illusion.
- The Dotted GourdAn orange ribbed gourd rendered on canvas with 110 dark dots scaled by curvature and depth; the whole form sways gently as if in a breeze.
- Dissolve115 colored dots orbit an empty center in a slow ellipse, periodically dissolving outward in a breathing scatter pattern with depth-based opacity.
- Mirrored Light Box12 nested glowing squares dive inward in a perpetual zoom loop while rotating; colored corner dots hue-rotate continuously over a deep dark stage.
- Cadmium Gourd StripesWavy cadmium-yellow and black bands undulate horizontally while 70 white and red dots drift upward through the field in a looping scroll.
