About the lab
Built by curiosity.
Kept honest by engineering.
The mark in the sky
Six circles. Two legs.
Eight stars.
The seanslab elephant is built from six circles—the body, head, three-part trunk, and circular eye cutout—and two rounded rectangles for its legs. Keep only the center of each primitive and the silhouette becomes an eight-star asterism.
Connected in the same order, those points retain the curled trunk, the backward glance, the round body, and its two-footed stance. We call it Elephantulus: the little elephant, held still in starlight.
6 circles+2 legs→8 centers→1 asterism
-
01 / SILHOUETTE
Build the mark
Five filled circles, one circular eye cutout, and two rounded legs make the elephant.
-
02 / CENTERS
Keep one point each
Replace every primitive with its center. The geometry stays fixed while the outline falls away.
-
03 / ASTERISM
Connect the stars
The curl, glance, body, and stance remain. The mark is still readable without its silhouette.
Star catalog
Every point has a job.
The old chart gave each point a mock-Latin name. Together they carry just enough information for the elephant to survive the translation from logo to sky.

About Sean
Engineer, builder,
student of systems.
I’m Sean Song—an engineer, product builder, and lifelong student of the systems hiding underneath everyday tools.
I started close to the metal: codecs, embedded systems, and the kind of work where a single wrong bit can ruin the whole result. Today I build products with AI and write about the strange continuity between those worlds.
seanslab is where I follow technical constraints into history, business, culture, and human behavior. The pieces are long because the interesting part is usually one layer deeper than the obvious answer.
If something here starts a useful argument, write to sean@seanslab.org.
