You are here.
Points you have generated, kept only on this device.
A random point generator. You set a radius, it picks a place you have no reason to go to, and then you go there and look at it properly.
Forty-two thousand points are scattered at random through a ring around you. The ring is divided into a grid, and each grid square is counted. Because the scatter is uniform, the number of points in a square has a known average and a known spread, so a square holding far more or far fewer points than expected is a real statistical outlier, not a guess.
Attractor returns the square with the largest surplus. Void returns the square with the largest deficit. Random returns an ordinary point from the scatter, with no test applied at all. Blind spot returns a high-surplus square that is as far as possible from anywhere already in your journal.
The sigma figure is the standard score of the chosen square: how many standard deviations it sits from the expected count. Anything past about three is genuinely unusual for a uniform scatter.
Nothing here is quantum, and nothing here is a measurement of anything outside the arithmetic. The randomness comes from your browser's cryptographic generator, which is seeded by your operating system and is, for every purpose this app has, indistinguishable from any other good source.
The anomaly is an anomaly in the sample. It is a property of the numbers, not of the place. A clump of points is not a vortex, a ley line or a signal. What is real is the thing that happens when a person walks to a coordinate they did not choose and pays attention on the way.
No account, no analytics, no cookies, no server-side code. Your position never leaves the device. Everything is computed in this tab; the only outbound requests are map tiles and, if it is switched on, a place-name lookup.
The journal lives in this browser's local storage. Clearing your browser data deletes it. Export it if you care about it.
