Finding a Visual Direction with UMAP
How similarity search becomes a way to explore a photo collection
Research
Visual search, project memory, and source-linked review recur in my development work. These essays explain their mechanisms, examine observations from my practice, and describe evaluations still to be run. The browser studies make market depth and rotation mathematics interactive.
Visual exploration
Search, UMAP maps, and linked image grids offer different routes through a photo collection. These studies explain the method and the controls.
Project memory
Stored decisions and review findings can inform a later coding session. The implementation and field observations are available; a controlled savings comparison is still proposed.

Testing Whether Project Memory Saves Work
What an audit shows, what a comparison must test, and what would count as a useful result
Design and engineering review
A critique needs a specific issue and a reason to act. Heuristics Canon connects findings to questions and references that another reviewer can examine.
Further studies
Other experiments and technical studies.
