Every point is one of the 1,194 published catalogue entries, including separate copies. Colours group the 26 catalogue subjects. Subjects uses circular sectors; Shelves makes the subject counts comparable. Spiral arranges entries using the golden angle π(3 − √5). Position is a display choice, not evidence that books share an argument.
Use the subject and book selectors without pointing at the map. With the map focused, arrow keys move between results. The full catalogue also works without JavaScript.
