Tapestry in EGG Time

The data stream is a flat matrix as wide as the number of Eggs and as long as we choose to look. A dynamic display of the continuously varying database is potentially a Tapestry of color and texture, with parameters that give it shape, like ripples, perhaps, in a surface of mean deviations and variance, changing in EGG Time, with a pixel density like a knot size in a rug. There is enough information to allow clumping or modulation by parameters such as temporal blocking, inclusive span, interactions, correlations, smoothing, and more.

The egg scores are shown as warm color dots (reds, yellows) for positive deviations and cool colors (blues, greens) for negative deviations. Horizontal rows (like the warp of a carpet) are the individual egg sequences, and successive vertical columns of color (the weft) are seconds. The egg array is mirrored around the horizontal centerline, which emphasizes patterns that may appear. If you wish, you can view the Tapestry Only, with no text.

Fractal analysis also should provide an interesting perspective, and might be an effective way to identify structures, for example, in strange attractors which form and dissipate. There are many ways the data might be esthetically displayed. Here are a few other possibilities, in the form of static examples generated by George deBeaumont.

Or, how about these as steps toward something rather pretty and informative, possibly with user selectable parameters for density, color wheel, blending, and dimensionality?
