The Order Beneath No.??: Chance — A short film about probability | Math × Shader

Probability in five short chapters. A ball bouncing left or right at a peg, a step one way or the other, a needle crossing a line or missing it, a link open or closed: no single outcome can be predicted. Put many together, and what is left is anything but arbitrary: a bell curve, a square root, π, half the chords from scattered straws, a threshold at exactly one half. The order is not in any one trial; it is in the many. Every frame is computed by code; on the website, each one is drawn live in your browser as the film plays.

The Order Beneath is a series of films about mathematics. Each one takes a single field and shows the order and beauty inside it, in pictures computed live by code; the narration says only enough for you to follow what is happening on screen. You won’t need to learn anything to watch, but you’ll see things you hadn’t noticed before.
