Reading the Data
Each box represents a title and the size of the box represents the number of "connections" that title has. A connection is formed when a title of one book appears in the title of another book. Each title can have multiple word connections and for this sample data, I used religious texts' titles. Each time a new title appears in the frame, the program checks to see if it shares a connection with any other titles in the frame. If it does, the other titles are attracted to it and a line is drawn. If the title that is attracted to the new title has connections of it's own, those titles are also attracted using a big fat recusive loop. I became a bit more interested in the sublime with this project so the aim is to sit back, relax and watch the forms move and random constellations form.
