01 / gaussian cloud

The unruly distribution

Eighty-seven data points were tagged onto the wall overnight. The curator insists it is a Gaussian. The aerosol disagrees — the tails are heavier than any textbook will admit.

μ = 0.412 · σ = 0.188 · n = 87 · shift = amber/teal/rose
02 / latent topology

Edges drawn with a marker that bled

Twenty nodes. Thirty-four edges. A subway diagram for a line that does not exist. Every connection was stenciled by a different hand at a different hour — the graph is the record of who met whom.

|V| = 20 · |E| = 34 · diameter = 6 · clustering = 0.28
03 / the dripping bars

Frequency bleeds downward

A histogram of intercepted timestamps, bin-width 30 minutes. The paint kept running before it could dry — so the bars admit a truth that clean rectangles would hide: every count is also an opinion.

bins = 14 · Δt = 30 min · peak = 03:00 — 03:30
