Parable of the Polygons

An interactive article for experiencing how small individual preferences can create large-scale social segregation.

Parable of the Polygons is an interactive article about how small individual preferences can create large-scale social segregation. By moving triangle and square residents, you can observe how segregation can emerge even when individuals do not hold strong biases.
