This interactive circular visualization depicts the Buddhist Five Aggregates (Skandhas) that constitute a living being. It uses a D3.js pie chart with equal segments for each aggregate, showing the relationships between Form, Feeling, Perception, Mental Formations, and Consciousness. Hovering over an arc expands it and reveals a detailed description with examples in the adjacent panel, while the center displays "Anatta" (Not Self). The code uses D3's `pie()`, `arc()`, and `select()` APIs, with a `ResizeObserver` for responsive scaling. The visualization includes an explanation view when nothing is hovered, sourced from Buddhist teachings.
