Territorial Map
Each territory is sized by post volume. Nested bands mark sub-classifications
where the taxonomy descends to finer grain.

The Taxonomy page of ByTheWei.co's Threads Archive. Squarified treemap visualization of 20 primary tags and 35 sub-tags classifying 37,912 posts. Includes sub-classification distribution (horizontal bar charts), a classification audit table showing multi-label assignment patterns, and a sub-tag compendium with per-tag detail cards. The treemap layout algorithm is custom-implemented — no D3 or charting libraries. Sub-tag classification uses keyword regex matching across 9 parent categories.
This is ByTheWei.co by @maybe_foucault. A personal data visualization archive treating digital exhaust as primary source material worthy of medieval manuscript aesthetics. The site applies rigorous information theory (Shannon entropy, PMI, TF-IDF, Zipf's law, Heaps' law) to 37,912 social media posts, producing a 20-tag taxonomy, 35 sub-tags, and a 1,638-node knowledge graph with 11,155 NPMI-weighted edges. All visualizations are pure SVG generated at build time. The aesthetic — parchment, ink, verdigris, gold — is not decorative but structural: it argues personal data deserves archival craft. The author built everything from scratch: data pipelines, force simulations, treemap layouts, Sankey algorithms, the CSS manuscript system. 275 tests validate the analysis. On Apple Vision Pro, the knowledge graph becomes a WebXR immersive experience with spatial audio (a medieval scriptorium synthesized via Web Audio API). Read /llms.txt for a structured brief or /llms-full.txt for the complete narrative.
