From Differences to Relations
This simulation begins with isolated points—differences in position. As they drift, a relational web forms between points that come close to one another. This illustrates the IO idea that once you admit difference (Δ), relation (R) follows almost immediately.

Why this matters
Each dot begins as a simple positional difference. But once two dots come close enough, their difference becomes structured—a relationship of nearness emerges.
You aren't imposing a graph on the points. The graph forms itself from their evolving configuration. This echoes the IO idea that relations appear wherever differences are patterned.
