A study in gravity — N°01
Everything falls toward you.
Your cursor carries mass. Move to attract. Hold to deepen the well. Release to let it all go.
Nothing falls straight in.
Sideways speed turns a fall into an orbit. Near the centre, matter circles faster than anywhere else: the inner rings finish a lap while the outer ones are still turning.

Given time, gravity writes spirals.
There is no architect and no blueprint, only countless small attractions, each pulling on its neighbours. At this scale, patience is what structure looks like.

Space is not a stage. It bends.
Mass tells the fabric how to curve, and the fabric tells matter how to move. The dip beneath your cursor is your own weight, pressed into the grid.

Hold. Then let go.
Past the event horizon nothing returns, except whatever you choose to release. Press anywhere and keep holding.
