About this Project
This tab explains what you are seeing in the three visuals and how to read them.
What is an N‑Gram / Bigram?
- N‑Gram: a sequence of n consecutive tokens (words or characters).
- Bigram (= n=2): captures direct neighbors, e.g.,
rock → and,and → roll. - Use: reveals transition structure and style; core in language modeling and crypto analysis.
1) Network (Bigram Network)
What you see: Nodes = words (size = word frequency). Edges = adjacent word pairs (thickness = pair frequency). Colors = semantic categories.
How to read: Dense colored clusters = thematic blocks. Thick edges = signature transitions. Central nodes = hubs.
Why useful: Shows syntax flow and theme paths; great to score cipher candidates for “language‑likeness”.
2) Semantic Soundscape (Cluster Clouds)
What you see: Same vocabulary, spatially anchored by category. Bubbles = words (size = freq), soft halos = context.
How to read: A topographic map of themes. Wider/dense areas = stronger semantic fields.
Why useful: Quick glance of emotional vs. technical emphasis; complements the network view.
3) Feedback Spiral (Memory → Distortion)
What you see: A spiral metaphor for repeated recollection/transformation. Outer rings clearer; inner rings more distorted. Sliders control iterations, noise, fade.
How to read: Each pass recreates the signal with loss of detail but preserved shape—exactly the idea from the quote.
Method Notes
- Unigram/Bigram frequencies define a statistical signature.
- Compare against language profiles or reference texts for scoring (chi‑square, KL, N‑gram log‑score).
- Clusters + network centrality expose stylistic traits.
Insights in this Quote
- Music and Tech are tightly interwoven (e.g., “glitchy electronica” with “alt/emo/rock”).
- The memory motif forms a chain:
memory → fragment → revisited → distorted. - Nature/Metaphor (“flower”, “field”, “polaroid”) frames the core motifs aesthetically.
Tips
- Network: Use 🎯 Center to refit; zoom into thick edges to spot leading phrases.
- Soundscape: Read color balance & density; drag words to explore alternatives.
- Spiral: Tune Iterations → Noise → Fade to feel “how fast” motifs erode.
