CATEGORY GUIDE / FIELD

Field & Flow Chambers

Routes for reading invisible direction through particles, paths, traces, and polarity.

These chambers are for visitors who want to see a field through what it does to moving things. They stay visual and tactile: you change a source, a pole, a current, or a local rule, then watch the traces reorganize.

WHY THIS ROUTE

Observe

Routes for reading invisible direction through particles, paths, traces, and polarity. These chambers are for visitors who want to see a field through what it does to moving things. They stay visual and tactile: you change a source, a pole, a current, or a local rule, then watch the traces reorganize.

WHAT THIS IS NOT

Use them as observation models. They are not engineering solvers, fluid solvers, or electrical safety tools.

LOCAL

A browser-local route for choosing where to start. Each link leads to an existing LAB. No upload, account, or installation is required to begin observing.

LAB ROUTE

CHAMBERS IN THIS ROUTE

VECTOR FIELD ROOM

Vector Field Room

Observe: Particles revealing local direction, attraction, rotation, and drift.
First touch: Change field modes and place attractors to see how trails bend.
Worth watching: The field becomes readable where many trails start curving the same way.

ORBIT GRAVITY OBSERVATORY

Orbital Gravity Chamber

Observe: Gravity-bent paths, flybys, velocity vectors, and unstable multi-body traces.
First touch: Adjust masses and velocity, then watch whether a path loops, escapes, or slingshots.
Worth watching: Small velocity changes can turn a quiet orbit into a long escape.

INK DIFFUSION CHAMBER

Ink Diffusion Chamber

Observe: Ink spreading, sinking, fading, and curling inside a visual water tank.
First touch: Drop or drag ink, then compare still water, current, vortex, heavy ink, and ink art views.
Worth watching: The tail and lower density bands are often more informative than the first splash.

MAGNETIC FIELD CHAMBER

Magnetic Field Chamber

Observe: N/S poles, field lines, iron-dust alignment, polarity, and interference between multiple poles.
First touch: Drag poles, add new ones, and switch lines, dust, force, and polarity lenses.
Worth watching: Dust makes the field feel physical without turning the room into a textbook diagram.

DISCHARGE DYNAMICS CHAMBER

Discharge Dynamics Chamber

Observe: Discharge paths seeking ground while charges, blocks, voltage, and noise alter the route.
First touch: Place charge, ground, or block points, then strike and compare bolt, field, branch, and residue views.
Worth watching: A good strike feels like it is searching, bending around blocks instead of just flashing.

SWARM EMERGENCE OBSERVATORY

Swarm Emergence Observatory

Observe: Local separation, alignment, and cohesion becoming collective movement.
First touch: Scatter, add wind, trigger predator pressure, or change flock presets.
Worth watching: The interesting part is how the swarm regains order after disturbance.
