Multiverse Maps extends the investigation begun in Quantum Drawings, giving visual form to a theoretical consequence of quantum measurement: with each observation of a quantum bit, the universe splits and duplicates. These works map the explosive branching of parallel realities—infinite worlds contained within single lines, their interconnections traced through space-time.

The images emerge from actual quantum computer data, but they function less as scientific diagrams than as invitations to develop intuition for what quantum mechanics implies about the nature of reality. Each drawing documents the moment when examining quantum states causes existence itself to proliferate.

Measurement—whether quantum or computational—always generates more complexity than it resolves. We look for answers and produce infinite branching instead.
