I don't understand what I'm exploring. Is it explained anywhere? To me it just looks like random buildings with random locations and heights are assigned random Wikipedia articles. Is there any rhyme or reason to the location of the buildings, their height, and which windows are illuminated in which color?

I was hoping there would be some whacky embedding in 2.5D space for this, but it just seems randomly assigned.

Is that because everyone is always complaining about AI slope that this vibe-coded website has no text to explain what it does? I understand that heights are proportional to views, but how are the buildings placed in the city? What are the lights for? And above all, why? Why this project, how is it interesting(?), why showing articles as buildings?

I don't get it. It keeps moving and I can't navigate around (WASD, arrows, anything). Why isn't the central monument spire thing the well-known ur-article (Philosophy). What is the information architecture?
