Gallery of Experimental Polyhedral Configurations of Documents

Interactive mapping onto polyhedra of documents on Laetus site using Force-directed Layout

-- / --

---

The following check list offers access to interactive maps under development (in the left-hand column). Those marked "Fail" are not currently working and subject to further investigation. Explanations have been previously provided offering access to models which are working -- but without access to the documents associated with the mapped titles (Eliciting Memorable Spheres and Polyhedra from Hyperspace, 2015). Links to those models are presented in the central column.

As previously explained, the array of presentations constitutes an exploration of meaningful interactive configurations which are potentially more memorable than conventional lists -- offering direct access to the relevant documents. The numbers in the left-hand column indicate the number of documents presented in each map -- framing the question as to how many can be usefully presented in this way.

Whilst the initial list below focuses arbitrarily on clusters (of different sizes) of representative documents on the Laetus site, it is intended to extend the array to focus on clusters of documents relating to particular issues and themes.

Force-directed presentations with varying numbers of Laetus documents to explore feasibility as an aid to access and comprehensibility of a set:

#	Titles all visible; document access (2023)	Titles visible only on mouseover; no document access (2015)	Wikipedia description
12	Cuboctahedron Truncated tetrahedron	Cuboctahedron Truncated tetrahedron	Cuboctahedron Truncated tetrahedron
14	Szilassi polyhedron
20	Dodecahedron Dodecahedron (tanks) Dodecahedron (tanks Fail)
