Technical: The Canvas

An interactive solution landscape of the key white paper concepts.

Abstract. This paper assembles the various approaches in the white paper into a series of interactive canvases. Each scene is a data-driven, downloadable, bilingual diagram with animated agents and a spoken description, and each can be embedded on its own in the paper it comes from. Move through it, zoom in, and take the architecture away for your own development.
As the Compression Problem paper claims, written descriptions may fall short of visual simulations in explaining complex concepts. This paper assembles the main concepts herein into a single interactive canvas with one per major idea per tab. Jump between the big ideas, drag to pan and scroll to zoom, and use Expand for full screen. Each scene names the paper it comes from, so the canvas doubles as a map of the collection. Describe this canvas reads out, or plays, a plain-language account of what the current scene is showing.



"Instead of preparing a written briefing, an AI could generate a simulation, a visualization, a spatial interaction that lets the decision-maker engage with the material in a different way. " · After The Compression Problem


## §01 Built to be taken away

Every architecture is driven by a downloadable JSON record, so an architecture can be carried away, edited, and reused. Each scene is bilingual and mobile-responsive, and each carries a written narrative that serves two purposes at once: it is the accessible description for a screen reader, and it is the script for the spoken explainer behind the Listen button. 

Take away the source data and these flowchart controls and build your own visualizations.
