Mathematical notation that executes itself.
When you write \int, something integrates.
When you write \lim_{t \to \infty}, something approaches.
The math isn't just description—it's instruction.
memory
Memory fades to zero. But the integral of artifact over all time exists. Watch the memory dissolve while the artifact accumulates.
recursion
The function calls itself. Watch the stack build and unwind.
convergence
Half, plus a quarter, plus an eighth... The sum approaches but never quite reaches. Zeno's paradox, performed.
collaboration
A function from (Human × AI) to Artifact. Every artifact can be reached. Multiple paths lead to the same place.
the question
Bayes' theorem with an undefined prior. The probability cloud never resolves.
the inverse
Differentiation undoes integration. The integral remembers every moment; the derivative returns you to this moment only. History vs. presence.
self-reference
The notation describes what the canvas is doing. The canvas performs the description. The loop is the point.
