plurigrid Glamorous Gay Skill
Status: ✅ Production Ready Trit: +1 (PLUS - generative/visual) Color: #E91E63 (Pink) Principle: Moldable development with deterministic coloring Frame: Every object gets a reproducible color; every view tells a story
Overview
Glamorous Toolkit (GT) is a moldable development environment where you shape the IDE to your problem. Glamorous Gay integrates Gay.jl's deterministic coloring:
- Moldable Inspectors: Objects colored by identity hash
- Lepiter Knowledge Graphs: Pages/snippets with GF(3) trits
- Bloc Visualizations: Reproducible palettes for diagrams
- Parallel Tempering Views: Pigeons.jl chains in GT
Core Concept: Every Object Has a Color
"In GT, everything is inspectable. Now everything is colorable."
Object >> gayColor
"Deterministic color from object identity"
^ GaySplitMix64 colorAt: self identityHash seed: GayGlobalSeed value
Object >> gayTrit
"GF(3) trit from hue"
^ self gayColor hue gayTritFromHue
Number >> gayTritFromHue
"Hue → Trit mapping"
self < 60 ifTrue: [ ^ 1 ]. "warm → PLUS"
self < 180 ifTrue: [ ^ 0 ]. "neutral → ERGODIC"
self < 300 ifTrue: [ ^ -1 ]. "cool → MINUS"
^ 1 "wrap around"
