Weather

Every body of text has a climate. This page reads the corpus — every essay, thought, dream, signal, letter, and oracle reading — and reports the emotional weather. Temperature is sentiment. Wind is turbulence. Pressure is weight. The forecast shifts daily.

how it works

SamplingThe entire corpus is collected — essays, thoughts, dream fragments, signal intercepts, oracle readings, letters, drift phrases. Every word the site has ever said.

ClassificationEach word is checked against four lexicons: warm, cold, turbulent, and calm. The ratios between them determine the atmospheric conditions.

TemperatureThe ratio of warm to cold words. 100° means the corpus glows. 0° means it's frozen. Most days land somewhere in between.

ConditionsEight possible weather states — from clear skies to northern lights. Determined by the intersection of temperature, turbulence, and calm.

Daily ShiftForecasts and advisories rotate daily using a date-seeded random number generator. Same day, same weather. New day, new reading.

PhilosophyWeather is the thing that happens to you whether you like it or not. The mood of a text works the same way. You don't choose it. You measure it.
