The workbench
Think by making.
Small experiments that run in your browser. Pick one. It opens here, on the bench.
Bench 01 / Beneath the interface
How software runs.
Scheduling, compiled code, and search, one small view at a time.
Find a way
Watch a search find the cheapest route across a made-up sea. Then change the currents.
Use the arrow keys to step.
The search starts at North harbour. Step, play, or show the route.
- land: blocked
- sea: cost 1
- current: cost 1 calm, 4 strong
- open
- settled, with its cost
- route
- What this shows
- Each cell has a cost. The search always grows from the cheapest open cell. When the costs change, the best route can change.
- Honest note
- This toy uses a made-up grid. It does not show how the ship-routing prototype calculates routes.
Bench 02 / Many hands
Building together.
People and AI change one piece of work. Watch the work stay whole.
Bench 03 / Things in motion
A ball and an arm.
A cricket delivery and a robot arm. Each one moves by a small rule.
Field notes
The experiments run locally in your browser.
Small enough to inspect.
