Sample a mathematical wave field on Canvas 2D.

How SIGNAL / NOISE
was made.
Signature technique: Canvas ASCII field + brutalist editorial grid. The page is one dependency-light HTML document with embedded styles and scripts; this guide is a second self-contained document using the same visual language.
Build sequence
Map luminance bands to a custom glyph ramp.
Compose an intentionally rigid newspaper grid.
Collapse the grid without losing reading order.
Reproduce it
Copy the parent index.html, preserve the semantic landmarks, then isolate the render loop from the content layer. Keep canvas and 3D surfaces aria-hidden; the story must remain complete without them. Cap device pixel ratio at 2 for expensive scenes, listen to prefers-reduced-motion, and test the final composition at 375px before publishing.
Why this technique
Canvas ASCII field + brutalist editorial grid is not decoration here: it carries the site's central metaphor. That alignment between subject and mechanism is what keeps a technical showcase from becoming a demo reel.
