'The Meaning of Life as Expressed in Seven Lines of Code'

is a living clock/sundial of sort where time elapses, geography

stretches and history digresses.



The three connecting points are: destination, origin and its external

context.



The destination (as defined in Couplet.java) is a non-interactive

sundial that reflects changes in daylight. The origin (as defined in the

LifeSupport.java) computes time and history based on its geographical

location, and its own understanding of the Gregorian calender and

astronomy. It then links the results to the physical world.



The first two points are contained within the network's own topology. /v2/img/enterproject.gif

The third point is a metaphorical link to the external world.



While the program has no inherent understanding of celestial body

movements or physical laws, the code relocation to another geographical

site will properly reflect the amount of daylight as expressed through

the varying grays of the interface.



'The Meaning of Life as Expressed in Seven Lines of Code' depicts a

skewed view of geography, time and history, where space and time elapses

during the day and at night and stretches itself at sunrise and sunset.
