For me at least, the post is kinda confusing and feels a bit overwrought (“there exists a raven such that the vector of hours”?), and was hard to understand at first. Sadly, in the wonderful year of 2026, I can’t help myself wondering if it was all written by an LLM, prompted by “be mysterious” or similar — though I still wouldn’t bet on it.

The project is cool! It’s a simple visual graph layout system for making your own clock.

the structure and cadence feels very organic to me - it might not be generated.

This just reads way to creative. At least no spidey sense triggered for me.

Whichever field of study these backwards E symbols are from, I've never taken a course in it.

So for me it's "Backwards E a raven Italics Backwards E the vector of hours" and I closed the tab there.

After reading this comment the symbols are now clear but by that point I'd already lost interest and moved on with my life.

Maybe this is only for people who already know set theory or whatever the backwards E comes from, and that's fine, I guess, but it was pretty annoying not to have any explanation whatsoever at the top.

I only learned that this is something to do with clocks from the comments.

Pangram says human-written. It does have some stylistic quirks often associated with LLMs, but those aren't a reliable indicator.
