SVG paths
A path can represent a relationship with a measurable position along it.

Start with
a better
what if.
Bring unfamiliar things together.
Find a relationship worth following.
Then discover what it can actually do.
01 / A different starting point
The moment
before the idea.
innoMOS is a practice for exploring unfamiliar possibilities with AI. Start with a problem, an odd observation, or things you would never normally put together.
Follow the relationship — not just the resemblance. Make it concrete enough to try, and clear enough to discover where it breaks.

01 / A chance encounter
Take an
unlikely turn.
Three things you might never have put together.
What relationship could make them useful?
This browser draws three distinct building blocks from a curated set of twelve using Web Crypto. Continue in your chat to explore the connection.
Versioned snapshots
A saved state can carry a version without reconstructing missing history.
B02Pointer capture
A drag can keep receiving pointer events after leaving its original target.
B0302 / Put a relationship to work
A thought, held.
A world in motion.
Pick a fragment of a living typographic poster. Keep it still while a simulated feed changes the surrounding field.
Pause the display. Skip a version. Inspect the settings. The relationship is there to be operated, not just described.

03 / Try to break it
Keep the endpoints.
Change what you know.
Now remove a necessary condition.
What survives? What becomes an open question?
A disappearing moment Fixed local example
Open in the morning.
Open again later.
What happened between?
The endpoints look identical. Could you still know what happened in between?

The relationship makes this knowable
Yes. A cancellation happened.
The supplied event log contains v2. The workshop is currently open at v3; the cancellation is historical.
Current status stays open · v33 events available
Your counterfactual
Keep a starting point. Change one condition. Compare what it permits.
This example runs from a fixed, local dataset. It demonstrates evidence and inference; it does not generate an AI answer. A missing event record leaves history unknown.
Change the frame.
An idea becomes a relationship with conditions.
Keep a reference.
Compare a new possibility with what you actually started with.
Try to break it.
Remove what matters. See whether the function survives.
04 / The practice
Start anywhere.
Follow the relation.
An approach for people who are curious enough to explore,
and precise enough to ask what would make an idea fail.
A problem.
Change how the problem is represented. Ask which familiar rule might be negotiable.
An encounter.
Bring three to five documented ingredients together. Look for a functional connection.
An anomaly.
Stay with the observation that doesn’t fit. Make a question worth investigating.
A new purpose.
Borrow an existing function for another context. Keep the conditions that make it work.
Borrow the structure. Keep the conditions.
The Ortho perspective explores a problem through an abstraction, a source mechanism and a careful return to the original domain. Random encounters offer a different way into the same curiosity.
with a traceable return
05 / What stays honest
“A possibility can be worth exploring
before we know how far it goes.”
Questions belong here, too.
A mechanism, an open question, or a connection that doesn’t hold: each can be a useful outcome. Originality and real-world value take further investigation.
06 / Your next question
Bring something
unfinished.
A problem, a strange observation, or a few things you’re curious about. Give the exploration a real place to begin.

A website made through its own practice
See how it was made This page began as an innoMOS Discovery commission. Its three relationship contracts underpin the workbench, the pinned comparison and the break test. The live studio explores them as an actual design instrument.
