Vigília
A mechanical device designed to travel the tracks and collect obstructions. What becomes of the collected material is not on record.
/00 Terminal 400
This is where risk is allowed.
Terminal 400 is a public facility for experimental systems. Here proof-of-concept builds, interaction studies and mechanisms that would not survive in production are built and kept in service, at the disposal of the whole population.
Access from the city · hours of operation: uninterrupted/01
Stations
Each station is a mechanism with its explanation. The route runs through all of them, and the color marks each one's kind.
Quatro Cantos
A logic mechanism of rotating axes in which every maneuver propagates to the neighboring junctions.
Fim da Linha
At the end of the line, where the tracks run out: a black hole of 300,000 particles, operated entirely by the GPU.
400 is the HTTP code for a request the server does not understand. Terminal 400 occupies the interval between what was asked and what was understood: the place of irregular requests, of what does not fit in a product, built by hand so that its workings may be understood.
Every station exposes its mechanism to the public, together with a description of its operation and its operating records.
