The original idea was to build a web service designed to serve isochrone and isodistance polygons. The final purpose of the application, which is an implementation of the web service, is to display bakeries locations within isochrone (or isodistance) polygons, centered around a user-defined point. Users can then get the shortest path to one of the bakeries.

Time is plastic. Our linear measure is man made for convenience. The oversimplification of minutes, hours, days is functional in a base utilitarian sense, yes, but fails to account for point of entry, context, point of view, the density of what is occurring in time and how it is thus experienced. Time is geometric; it also has the experiential component and this has height, width, variation and forms from point of view and processes differently with each individual. An event in time thus is not only to be measured in its variable detail, but also of its place in time. This is not a time-line.
