spw.quest

The bench

Lines that press each feature of Spw against the canvas at factshift.center, one feature a line, from the plainest form to the edges a reader has to hold.

Each says what it presses and what the canvas should show. Open one, look, and come back for the next: where the canvas and the line disagree, the bench has found something.

One room at a time

The word, then each pair alone, then all of them. The canvas draws a region per room and keeps them in written order.

  • garden a word alone on the canvas one node, no regions read here as word
  • garden[care] a mode, [ ] on the canvas the word with its lens framed above it read here as word [ ]
  • garden{seed} a body, { } on the canvas one part inside a body region read here as word { 1 part }
  • garden(spring) a scene, ( ) on the canvas the scene as its own region read here as word ( )
  • garden<harvest> a concept, < > on the canvas a concept node the line points to read here as word < >
  • garden[care]{seed, water}<harvest>(spring) all five rooms on the canvas word, lens, body, concept and scene, each in its place read here as word [ ] { 2 parts } < > ( )
  • (spring)garden{seed} a scene written first on the canvas the scene leads the word, as written read here as word { 1 part } ( ) · spw.quest reads the scene after the word; the canvas reads it whole
  • <harvest>garden{seed} a concept written first on the canvas the concept leads the word read here as < > · spw.quest reads only the concept, and drops the word and its body; the canvas reads it whole

How a body holds its parts

The separator is the body's join, and each join has a figure on the canvas: in common a ring, in order a row, one name a chain, a path rising.

  • bread{flour, water, salt} in common, ( , ) on the canvas a ring of three read here as word { 3 parts }
  • bread{mix; rest; bake} in order, ( ; ) on the canvas a row, read left to right read here as word { 3 parts }
  • bread{crust.crumb.steam} one name, ( . ) on the canvas a tight chain read here as word { 3 parts }
  • bread{dough ~> loaf ~> toast} a path, ( ~> ) on the canvas a path rising across the body read here as word { 3 parts }
  • bread{} an empty body on the canvas an open region waiting for a part read here as word · spw.quest drops an empty body; the canvas reads it whole
  • pantry{rice, oats, salt, oil, beans, tea, honey, flour, yeast, cocoa} ten parts on the canvas every part placed without overlap on a phone read here as word { 10 parts }

Inside inside

A part can be a line of its own. The canvas nests its regions inside the part, in the part's place.

  • kitchen{bread{flour, water}, soup{stock}} two nested bodies side by side on the canvas two regions inside the body, bread before soup read here as word · spw.quest stops at the nested brace and reads no body; the canvas reads it whole
  • house{kitchen{shelf{jar{salt}}}} four deep on the canvas regions within regions, each inside its part read here as word · spw.quest stops at the nested brace and reads no body; the canvas reads it whole
  • garden[care]{seed[slow]{root}<shoot>, water} a part with rooms of its own on the canvas the seed's lens, body and concept drawn inside the garden's body read here as word [ ] · spw.quest stops at the nested brace and reads no body; the canvas reads it whole
  • garden{seed, water.{deep}} a nested body after a plain part on the canvas seed first, then water with its body read here as word · spw.quest stops at the nested brace and reads no body; the canvas reads it whole

Marks before the word

Each operator, alone in front of the same line, so the only difference on the canvas is the mark's own reading.

  • ~garden{seed} ~ potential on the canvas the word marked potential read here as word { 1 part }
  • ?garden{seed} ? wonder on the canvas the word marked wonder read here as word { 1 part }
  • !garden{seed} ! action on the canvas the word marked action read here as word { 1 part }
  • *garden{seed} * value on the canvas the word marked value read here as word { 1 part }
  • .garden{seed} . ground on the canvas the word marked ground read here as word { 1 part }
  • ^garden{seed} ^ ascension on the canvas the word marked ascension read here as word { 1 part }
  • #garden{seed} # vibration on the canvas the word marked vibration read here as word { 1 part }
  • @garden{seed} @ perspective on the canvas the word marked perspective read here as word { 1 part }
  • &garden{seed} & subject on the canvas the word marked subject read here as word { 1 part }
  • =garden{seed} = configuration on the canvas the word marked configuration read here as word { 1 part }
  • %garden{seed} % measure on the canvas the word marked measure read here as word { 1 part }
  • $garden{seed} $ substrate on the canvas the word marked substrate read here as word { 1 part }
  • ~?garden{seed} two marks stacked on the canvas both marks read on the one word read here as word { 1 part }
  • #>garden{seed, water} a frame, #> on the canvas a frame to enter, titled by its head read here as word { 2 parts }

Two lines that regard each other

A join between two expressions, by each of its four marks. The canvas draws the edge between the two forms.

  • seed{water} ~ sprout{light} ~ potential on the canvas two forms, a loose edge between them read here as word { 1 part } ~ word…
  • seed{water} ^ sprout{light} ^ ascension on the canvas the second form above the first read here as word { 1 part } ^ word…
  • seed{water} & sprout{light} & subject on the canvas two forms held as one subject read here as word { 1 part } & word…
  • you@guide @ perspective, unspaced: context @ subject on the canvas the guide seen from you read here as word · spw.quest reads an unspaced @ as part of the word; the canvas reads it whole
  • seed ~ sprout ~ bloom three in a chain on the canvas each form joined to the next read here as word ~ word…

Edges the reader must hold

Lines a hand writes half-way, or in its own alphabet. The canvas should keep what it read and show what it did not.

  • garden{seed, water a brace left open on the canvas the word, with the open body shown as not read read here as word
  • garden}seed a stray closer on the canvas both readers take the closer into the word; a reader could refuse it read here as word
  • garden{seed] pairs that do not match on the canvas the word, the rest shown as not read read here as word
  • garden[care][rest]{seed} a room written twice on the canvas the first lens kept, the rest shown as not read read here as word [ ]
  • jardín[cuidado]{semilla, agua}<cosecha> letters beyond ASCII on the canvas the same anatomy as garden read here as word [ ] { 2 parts } < >
  • 🌱{seed, water} an emoji for the word on the canvas the emoji as the word's node read here as word { 2 parts }
  • 2026[season]{10, 11, 12} numbers as words on the canvas a year with three months read here as word [ ] { 3 parts }
  • a-very-long-hyphenated-subject-that-will-not-fit[mode]{part} a word longer than the screen on the canvas the label shortened, the whole word on focus read here as word [ ] { 1 part }
  • garden [ care ] { seed , water } spaces inside and between rooms on the canvas the same anatomy as without them read here as word [ ] { 2 parts }
