The 49 weights

One bar per column of the PPMI table. They all move together on every pass, so nothing is decided column by column. Watch the guess evaporate.

Where the words land

Each word's row multiplied by those weights, giving one coordinate. The layout settles as the direction does.

The strip along the top is the same 49 weights, one per column. Scoring reads across a row; crediting pushes back down a column. Hover a column to read it.
