The form stayed the same.
The viewpoint changed.
Turn the loop. Find the three views above. Notice which crossings become easier to understand as you move.
Drag to look around, use the arrow keys, or move the sliders. Shading indicates depth.

Now change the form itself.
Make the loop spread, flatten, or deepen. Every view uses the same edited form. Some changes remain hidden from a particular angle.

What is being shown?
Every view is calculated from one set of three-dimensional points on a closed curve. Changing the viewpoint rotates those points before drawing them on the screen. Changing Bend or Depth changes the points themselves. Line width changes only how thickly the curve is drawn.
These are orthographic projections: distance from the viewer does not make a part appear smaller. The large view adds depth shading. The small views use a single color, leaving depth less apparent. They are mathematical drawings, rather than photographs of a physical object.
This curve is a geometry demonstration created for Creation OG. Stan Tenen’s work with geometric metaphor and changing silhouettes helped inspire the question. This experience does not reproduce his Hebrew-letter model or establish claims about the origin of language. Read Meru Foundation’s own account ↗
A view can be useful.
Another view can reveal more.
What did you first assume? What became clearer when you could turn the form? What changed when you became its creator?
Creation OG makes room for both: noticing relationships already present, and shaping something new. Here, you can follow the difference between changing your perspective and changing what you are looking at.
Beyond this drawing, a different description, diagram, or person’s perspective may reveal something worth considering. That is an invitation to investigate—not a promise that every disagreement has the same underlying answer.
