Chapter 2: The Whiteness Index

Calculating the Whiteness of a Nation

In the previous chapter, we explored the concept of White Noise. Now, we're ready to take the next step and introduce the Whiteness Index.

The Whiteness Index is a mathematical model that measures the ratio of white surfaces to total surfaces in a given area. It's a crucial tool for urban planners, architects, and anyone who wants to know how white their city really is.

We'll be using the following formula to calculate the Whiteness Index:

WI = (White Surfaces + White Objects + White Thoughts) / (Total Surfaces + Total Objects + Total Thoughts)

To illustrate this concept, let's take a closer look at the White Noise map of New York City.
