Where does the weight go?
Drop in a handful of images: one engine's outputs, a series of your paintings, ten photos of anything. The lens finds the structural mass in each and plots where it lands. One centered image is a choice. Twenty centered images about twenty different things are a default.

Rather play? Where's the weight? pits your eye against the lens on eight pictures. Lighter tests how well you judge value in real paintings.
Mass centroids in the frame
Each dot is one image's centre of structural mass. Cross = frame centre. Ring = 0.15 from centre. Hover a dot or a card to link them.
The set, as a fingerprint
| metric | p10 | median | p90 | window |
|---|
Window = p90 − p10, the range the set actually uses on each axis. Narrow windows across varied subjects point to a learned default; wide windows point to choice.
Δx · Δy · placement
Where the centroid of structural mass sits, from −0.5 to 0.5. Negative Δy is the upper frame.
SDI · dispersion
How far mass spreads from its own centre. Most real images land between about 0.19 and 0.29; lower is gathered, higher is spread.
μ · cohesion
One dominant body (→1) or many equal fragments (→0). Two equal halves read low by design.
xₚ · peripheral pull
The share of edge energy in the outer 15% of the frame. Low means everything is pulled inward.
rᵥ · void
How much of the frame carries almost no structure. Quiet ground versus edge activity everywhere.
Gold = what was measured
The mask keeps mid-strength gradients (85th–97th percentile): texture, marks, modelling. Crisp flat shapes on blank grounds can fool it, so check the gold.
