Fork of Fork of Fork of The Heart of Prajñāpāramitā
This visualization maps the interconnectedness of core Buddhist concepts using an interactive force-directed network. The diagram displays 24 terms—such as Śūnyatā, Dukkha, and Bodhicitta—as nodes grouped by theme, with weighted links (relationships) connecting them. Built with d3.forceSimulation, the layout uses SVG and animated transitions to position nodes dynamically. Users can explore the network's structure, with hoverable controls revealing descriptions of each concept. Code includes d3.drag and d3.zoom for interaction.
