in earthquake engineering, a structure survives by knowing its own natural frequencies. this site is that analysis, run on one yashvini shukla.
ψ(t) = Σ aᵢ φᵢ e^(iωᵢt)
F(ω) = ∫ ψ(t) e^(−iωt) dt
this is her: one signal in time. run the fourier transform and five frequencies fall out. they are not orthogonal, so they drift. sometimes they converge, and she is one thing entirely. sometimes they diverge, and pull in five directions at once. both states are her.
watch the waves. they converge, they diverge, they never stop.
u(t) = Σ φᵢ qᵢ(t)
fourier promised it. the buildings agree. so: take the messy signal above and split it into five natural modes, each competing for amplitude.
all five waves fan out of the sum · hover a spike: highlight its wave · click it: mute it · click its name: visit the mode
what she builds out there is what she believes in here.

the same physics that shakes a building carries a laser to a canopy and back.
graphs, categories, transforms, qualia: different chalk for the same blackboard.
family is a boundary condition. she doesn't solve around it: she solves with it.
kampala → london → ahmedabad → troy, ny → san francisco → stockholm → germany → nottingham → 78°N → kampala.
each arrival a phase shift; each departure, conservation of momentum.
she doesn't collect countries. she collects reference frames.
★ this is the heart of the site. every project, place and idea is a node — click any one to read its role in the topology, follow the vectors that join them, and leave your own thought where anyone can read it.
her own model turned on herself: a weighted directed graph, the same one her preprint runs on society. use the +/− controls to zoom (or pinch) · drag the space to pan · pause the drift.
and at the centre of the sum, the still point. everything oscillates around it. it watches.
