Region view — clusters & arcs (Southwest Florida)
Clusters are the ripple motif as data: ring size = act count, ring depth = chain depth. One arc stands for all linked acts between two towns, labelled with its count.
Nothing below town granularity aggregates up — tap a cluster to zoom into the city view.
Country view — soft choropleth (Florida)
Counties tint with the purple wash by act count — never heat-smoothing. Only the longest cross-region chains draw as arcs, capped and labelled ("showing the 12 longest"). Identity disappears entirely at this level.
Ripple Globe — cross-circle chains
Circles appear as glowing dots; chains between them as great-circle arcs. Hues are the lightened dark-mode accents — the raw brand purple is too dim on dark. Only aggregate counts travel across circles, never member data.
