among the things a person could do on this site are....
- Look up words to find their meanings and associations with other words and concepts.
- Produce diagrams reminiscent of a neural net.
- Learn how words associate.
When a word it entered into the seach box, an interactive node diagram ( a web of sorts) is created and connections are made to the original word in a variety of ways. Some examples are parts of speech, is a part of, pertains to, is a kind of to name a few. Exploration of just one word will take the user to a myriad of word adventures. You are taken into a "universe of bouncing, rotating, vibrating meaning by pulling related words into orbit around it. The words careen off one another like balls on a billiard table until they settle down, at which point you can set them in motion again — or choose a new word."
When I entered the word "music," this is my initial graphic. As I click and explore even more connections are made. The key at the left shows what the different colored connections indicate. Give it a try!
