RICHTER is a real-time data visualization and indexing protocol that aggregates global seismic activity into a single interpretable metric — the Global Seismic Index.
The project explores the relationship between real-world planetary instability and deterministic, rule-based systems. All signals are derived exclusively from publicly available geophysical data.
RICHTER is designed as an observational protocol: it does not predict events, but reflects systemic seismic activity as it unfolds.
The Global Seismic Index is calculated from recorded earthquake events over a rolling 24-hour period.
Each seismic event contributes to the index proportionally to its magnitude, using a weighted aggregation model. The index is intended to represent overall planetary stress, rather than isolated or localized events.
The focus is on cumulative activity and global patterns, not short-term anomalies.
RICHTER relies exclusively on publicly accessible seismic data provided by authoritative geophysical monitoring institutions.
No proprietary, predictive, or inferred data is used.
Seismic activity is presented through an interactive globe-based interface, allowing users to explore events spatially and temporally.
Visual elements are intended to support understanding, not interpretation.
RICHTER is an experimental data protocol. It does not provide financial advice, predictions, or guarantees.
