The Constellation

The engine room, as a loop

Six NEEDLE workers, one shared queue — a square, self-contained clip you can drop anywhere.

Animated square diagram: six NEEDLE workers (alpha–foxtrot) each cycling through SELECT, CLAIM, BUILD, DISPATCH, EXECUTE, OUTCOME while pulling task beads from one shared bead-forge queue. Successful beads land in a CLOSED stack, timed-out beads in a DEFERRED tray.

Rendered straight from the site's own deterministic animation, so it plays the same every time. It reads at any size — from a phone thumbnail to a desktop timeline. See it live, with the full write-up, on the constellation page.
