Synopsis
Every creature in TOKOYO exists as a mathematical equation: nothing is drawn — the image arises from relations between points. As the points disappear, the viewer watches a familiar shape fall apart, even though the formula that produced it remains unchanged.
About the Director
CHIERO works alone, with equations as the only material. Each creature in the film is written as a single formula, run without randomness, a clock, or external data, so it appears in the same form every time; every equation carries a verifiable sha256 fingerprint. All equations of TOKOYO are published and run live in the browser — not sold, not enclosed. TOKOYO is CHIERO's first film.
