Math as Beautiful Order
The Mathematical Universe
Much of this website is dedicated to the beauty and power of creative works, which is why our tagline is “GoRhyme: Create to the Rhythm of You”. The idea is simple: each of us, simply by being alive, creates wonder. By nature, that wonder has a rhythm, not metaphorically, but numerically; thus, by design, math and creativity go hand in hand.
We are patterned creatures in a patterned universe. What we desire, what we make, what we find beautiful, none of it is arbitrary or by chance. There is rhyme running through all of it.
The tools in this section put that proposition to the test: mathematical formulas applied to creative form, and what unfolds when they meet.
