FACILITY GUIDE / FIRST VISIT

Observe first. Read the trace later.

FRACTARIUM is not a lecture hall or a formal simulator suite. It is a browser-based observation facility where you can touch a field, disturb a pattern, switch a mode, and watch what the system leaves behind.

FRACTARIUM is one observation facility operated from HAIJIN LAB.

ORIENTATION

WHAT THIS PLACE IS

01 / OBSERVE

Start with motion, not explanation. Each chamber gives you a live field: a fractal plane, a wave, a swarm, a sandpile, a pulse network, or another small world. Touch it first, then read the notes if you want the deeper layer.

02 / INTERFERE

Small changes are part of the exhibit. Drag, click, switch presets, change sliders, trigger bursts, drop ink, open cells, or add grains. The useful question is often not "what is the answer?" but "what changes when I disturb it?"

03 / KEEP A TRACE

Save the field when it feels alive. Most chambers can save a PNG of the current field. The saved image stays local to your browser, like a small observation plate from a visit.

STARTING POINTS

CHOOSE BY WHAT YOU WANT TO WATCH

SHAPE / SPACE

If you want geometry to bend. Try Fractal Zoomer, Complex Function Warper, Sphere-to-Plane Mapper, Infinite Tile Disk, or 4D Shadow Projector. These labs make space fold, stretch, repeat, or cast strange shadows.

MOTION / FIELD

If you want paths, waves, and forces. Try Chaos Map Lab, Flow Field Painter, Resonance Tuner, Equation Motion Engine, or Gravity Slingshot. These are good first stops for watching motion change under a rule.

EMERGENCE / LIFE-LIKE

If you want simple parts to behave together. Try Slime Route Builder, Ecosystem Balancer, Cell Rule Playground, Swarm Rule Mixer, or Mutation Chain Lab. They are visual models, not biological or medical analysis tools.

GROWTH / THRESHOLD

If you want structures to appear suddenly. Try Reaction Diffusion, DLA Growth, Avalanche Sandpile, Percolation Threshold, or Decision Collapse Tree. Watch local changes become patterns, branches, cascades, or connections.

MATERIAL / SIGNAL

If you want visible traces and routes. Try Ink Plume Tank, Discharge Dynamics, Pulse Route Network, Gravity Lens Warper, Knot Crossing Inspector, Phase Transition Furnace, Territory Splitter, or Magnetic Field Sandbox. These chambers focus on visible traces, boundaries, polarity, delay, and route memory.

NOT A FORMAL TOOL

This is an observation facility. The chambers are made for tactile understanding and visual exploration. They are not engineering solvers, medical tools, lab procedures, or strict academic reproductions.

ROUTES BY MOOD

Choose the doorway before the chamber

GEOMETRY

Shape & Space For days when you want space to bend, fold, stretch, and reveal hidden structure. 9 LAB route

FIELD

Fields in Motion For watching invisible forces become trails, currents, wakes, waves, and pressure. 12 LAB route

GROWTH

Growth & Thresholds For patterns that branch, crystallize, topple, connect, melt, or grow from rules. 6 LAB route

SIGNAL

Signals & Networks For timing, rerouting, resonance, equations, chaos, and branching decisions. 8 LAB route

LIFE-LIKE

Life-like Emergence For systems that feel alive without pretending to be biology or medicine. 5 LAB route

STRUCTURE

Structures & Symmetries For borders, copies, gaps, crossings, and higher-dimensional shadows that leave structure behind. 6 LAB route

GUIDE CATEGORIES

Choose a route before choosing a LAB

GEOMETRY

Geometry Chambers For projection, shape, folding space, complex maps, knots, and lens-like distortion.

FIELD

Field & Flow Chambers For particles, currents, polarity, discharge paths, and collective motion.

GROWTH

Growth & Pattern Chambers For patterns that grow, connect, collapse, or shift state while you watch.

SIGNAL

Signal & Dynamics Chambers For timing, oscillation, delay, sensitivity, and pulse-route memory.

STRUCTURE

Structure & Information Chambers For branches, inherited echoes, territories, and information leaving visible structure.

VISITOR NOTES

HOW TO USE THE FACILITY

READING

Use the notes as a second layer. Each LAB includes operation panels, observation notes, and formula or rule notes. You do not need them to begin, but they give the serious layer something to hold onto.

LANGUAGE

Move between English and Japanese freely. The English and Japanese routes match, so you can switch languages without losing your place.

LOCALITY

Nothing needs to be uploaded. The chambers run in your browser. Images you save are generated from the canvas you are viewing, and the facility is designed to stay quiet and lightweight.
