FIG. 014 / UNLOCKED RELATIONSHIPS

Your universe, so far.

This map only renders people, organizations, and story threads revealed by films you have marked as watched. Unwatched-film connections are not hidden behind question marks. They are not loaded into this view at all. The connected matrix advances only through films whose relationship data is currently mapped in this prototype.

0 Unlocked nodes Relationship data / mapped titles only

Knowledge horizon

Your uninterrupted release-order chain appears below. Out-of-sequence watched films stay in Knowledge Islands until the gap closes. Click a connected poster to inspect the knowledge available at that point.

WHO IS MICROKOSM?

Small systems.
Big context.

Microkosm Labs is a collection of small experiments built to make complicated systems easier to see, explore, and understand.

This lab uses movies, characters, organizations, stories, and relationships as data. As the watch history grows, the interface reveals the larger structure hiding inside those individual records.
