Aboutwho created this?
I am a carpenter. I am not a mathematician and not a programmer by trade, and I did not choose the Hopf fibration because I understand fibre bundles. I chose it because it is a few lines of arithmetic that produce something no drawing can honestly show, and I wanted to look at it.
The method is the trade's. A carpenter works to a measurement: you do not need a theory of timber to build a straight door, you need to know what the material does, to check the thing you made against a number rather than against your own opinion of it, and to be honest about the tolerance you actually held. That is the entire method here, applied to a different material.
The longer story - the video game, the deleted bone names, and how a tool for looking at nine thousand points became a camera - is told at PrettyCloud. Platonography is an Improper Aperture work.
