Monobrain — Applied Philosophy · Gestalt Color
“In Human-AI collaboration, humans drown in a sea of text strings. Color is the primary rescue tool.”
A color system built as physics: the theme hue is a mass, and every other color bends around it. Gestalt psychology → gravitational operations → shipped functions.
The exhibit
The lens, demonstrated.
“Frame Drag — a rotating massive body drags spacetime. In Monolex, the Core drags all colors toward its hue. The result is Gestalt Similarity: similar means same group.”
Unlensed — the full hue circle, oklch
Frame-dragged toward the core — every hue pulled to 250°
blend_hue() at pull 0.55 · the convergence around the core is the caustic — “the zone where hues converge” · the only color on this site, quarantined as an exhibit
The mapping
Physics → function → perception.
- Corecore_hueFigure/Ground — the theme hue is the mass everything else feels
- Frame dragblend_hue()Similarity — hues dragged toward the core read as one group
- Einstein arcwarp_hue_compress()Common Fate — hue paths bend around the core, same direction, same group
- Causticfill_with_oklab_gradient()Continuity — the convergence zone where the bent paths meet
- Lensed colors—Prägnanz — the output perceived as an orderly whole
“Core answers: what IS this color? — OkLCH, polar, hue as identity. Flow answers: what STATE is this color in? — OkLab, cartesian, built for interpolation.”
“Core/Flow distinguishes not colors, but what colors do.”
