This is absolutely brilliant for educational uses. Even the front-page filter example is something I plan to suggest to my prof for the DSP class he teaches.
What's the difference between "reactive" and "interactive"? Just wondering if we really need a new buzzword...
Another cool experiment with the graph example given there: http://worrydream.com/ExplorableExplanations/ — go down to the guitar icon (or find "incidentally" on the page).

The graph is neat...I worry that the link is a UI paradigm that my mom or dad simply wouldn't grok though...I'm not a particularly good son and I don't talk to them much...so does anyone wanna test my theory out?

My first thought was "this is pretty cool!" but wondering who actually needs it. I then had the realization that this is, in fact, a very different way of data expression. It would force you to think not only about what you are saying, but how you are saying it and how to demonstrate the ideas within the text of the document itself and not simply say "Refer to fig 1.1". This could truly present a new way of displayin…
As a numbers geek one of my pet peeves is that people all too rarely play out different scenarios to help the reader gain an understanding of the underlying model/data/relationships/etc.
Now some sites do this well (e.g. OKCupid's blog), but there is still a disconnect between text and data display. The reader has to play with the graph itself and that does create a bit of a cognitive fracture that I think subtly inhibits a better understanding.
