in context

credits where credits due:

• thread arcs a la the nice people at the IBM CUE group
• the search view prototype is implemented by David Ascher.  the positioning of the visualization is on me as a quick hack, though.
• the search view prototype is designed by Bryan Clark, and he has even better stuff on the way

The actual implementation is a first step of adapting knowledge from my python “visophyte” library to a JS implementation using canvas.  I am trying a more batch-oriented style of processing this time that uses explicit attributes for value-passing between logic blocks.  This is in comparison to the python implementation which is more functional in nature.  We’ll see how it turns out.
