CATEGORY GUIDE / GEOMETRY

Geometry Chambers

Places where space bends, folds, projects, and keeps a trace of shape.

GEOMETRY

WHY THIS ROUTE

Observe

Follow this theme into the chambers below. This route is a good first stop when you want to watch shape itself become active. The chambers here are not proof tools; they are browser fields for touching projection, repetition, distance, and visible distortion.

WHAT THIS IS NOT

Use them as observation models. These are visual geometry models, not formal topology, astronomy, or mathematical proof systems.

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

CATENOID MINIMAL SURFACE OBSERVATORY

Catenoid Minimal Surface Observatory

Observe
Two catenoid branches span equal coaxial rings until their connected solutions merge at a limiting separation.
First touch
Change ring separation and radius, select a branch, and compare surface, mean curvature, and area views.
Worth watching
Zero mean curvature does not guarantee the least area. The two-disk area crossing, local stability, and loss of connected solutions are distinct.

FRACTAL OBSERVATORY

Fractal Zoomer

Observe
Recursive boundaries, islands, and fine detail that appear from repeated iteration.
First touch
Zoom first, then switch Mandelbrot and Julia fields to compare fixed and parameter-driven space.
Worth watching
The edge is the interesting part: small movements reveal new rooms inside the boundary.

DIMENSIONAL PROJECTION ROOM

4D Shadow Projector

Observe
Higher-dimensional rotation becoming shadows, slices, and changing silhouettes.
First touch
Adjust projection axes and rotation until the object stops feeling flat.
Worth watching
Look for moments when a simple wireframe suddenly reads as a deeper object.

COMPLEX MAPPING CHAMBER

Complex Function Warper

Observe
The complex-function warping under square, inverse, exponential, sine, and Mobius-style maps.
First touch
Switch maps and follow paired points to see how one plane becomes another.
Worth watching
Straight grids are useful because their bending makes the invisible rule visible.

RIEMANN SHEET NAVIGATOR

Riemann Sheet Navigator

Observe
One complex value continuing along a loop and returning to the same z on another sheet.
First touch
Trace the default loop, drag branch A outside it, and compare swap with identity before trying logarithmic branches.
Worth watching
Unlike pointwise complex mapping, the result depends on the whole path and which branch points it winds around.

POLYNOMIAL ROOT BRAID COMPARATOR

Polynomial Root Braid Comparator

Observe
The same two coefficient loops, followed in opposite orders, becoming two computed root paths, braids, and final arrangements.
First touch
Run TRACE BOTH ORDERS, follow the colored r0/r1/r2 identities through A→B and B→A, then compare their intermediate and final mappings.
Worth watching
The loops are the same; changing only their order can change which tracked root identity reaches each final position.

P ADIC LIFT TREE

P-adic Lift Tree

Observe
Polynomial roots lift from mod p to higher powers of p, forming a computed tree of unique, split, dead, and pending branches.
First touch
Use LIFT ONE LEVEL on x²−2 at p=7, then compare the no-root sieve at x²+1, p=3 with the singular x²−1, p=2 tree.
Worth watching
Every child is a real congruence test: a branch can continue once, split into several digits, end, or never begin.

SPECTRAL DRUM

Spectral Drum

Observe
A drawn membrane becoming six computed eigenmodes, nodal lines, and an ordered vibration spectrum.
First touch
Change the membrane shape, Solve, choose a Strike point, and Play the modal superposition before comparing eigenvalue Delta.
Worth watching
Shape changes the operator and spectrum; the strike point changes modal coefficients without recomputing the modes.

HODGE DECOMPOSITION WORKBENCH

Hodge Decomposition Workbench

Observe
A discrete edge field separating orthogonally into gradient, rotational, and harmonic components as holes change b1 and the harmonic basis count.
First touch
Start with One-hole circulation, press DECOMPOSE, switch the four components, then add or connect holes to watch the harmonic basis count change.
Worth watching
Reconstruction, pairwise orthogonality, kernel residuals, and energy remain numerically certified while the topology changes the harmonic degrees of freedom.

MODULAR FORMS FIELD

Modular Domain Explorer

Observe
The upper half-plane repeating under T-shift, folding under inversion, and settling into a fundamental domain.
First touch
Switch DOMAIN, LATTICE, WAVE, FUNDAMENTAL, PERIOD, and INVERSION while using T-SHIFT, INVERT, and FOLD.
Worth watching
The useful moment is when many copies begin to read as one field represented by a small domain.

RADON TRANSFORM SCANNER

Projection Scanner

Observe
A hidden phantom becoming projection rows, a sinogram, and a visual reconstruction field.
First touch
Collect SCAN rows, switch SINO, RECON, FILTERED, and COMPARE, then raise noise to see uncertainty enter the reconstruction.
Worth watching
The useful moment is when many thin shadows begin to read as an interior shape.

STEREOGRAPHIC PROJECTION FIELD

Sphere-to-Plane Mapper

Observe
A sphere projected onto a plane, with points near infinity stretching outward.
First touch
Switch projection, rotation, sphere, grid, and circle views to compare the same surface in two forms.
Worth watching
Circles and grids are the easiest way to feel how the far edge expands.

HYPERBOLIC TESSELLATION CHAMBER

Infinite Tile Disk

Observe
Tiles compressed toward the rim of a disk, making space feel deeper near the edge.
First touch
Change kaleido, geodesic, and orbit modes, then increase warp to feel the rim pull outward.
Worth watching
The pattern matters less than the pressure of space near the boundary.

HYPERBOLIC ISOMETRY STUDIO

Hyperbolic Isometry Studio

Observe
The same P and Q following computed geodesic paths under B(A(z)) and A(B(z)).
First touch
Drag P, Q, A, and B directly, or select a preset, then run both orders from one shared snapshot.
Worth watching
The endpoints can differ even though each composition preserves d(P,Q).

KNOT INVARIANT CHAMBER

Knot Crossing Inspector

Observe
A knot turning in projection while crossings, over-under order, and writhe stay readable.
First touch
Spin the knot, switch crossing or writhe lenses, and compare trefoil, cinquefoil, and unknot.
Worth watching
The useful moment is when the curve looks different but the knot still feels like itself.

GRAVITY LENS CHAMBER

Gravity Lens Warper

Observe
Background stars, photon-ring cues, and disk particles visibly bending around a central mass.
First touch
Raise mass or lens strength, then compare stars, rays, disk, and distortion views.
Worth watching
It is not the black core alone; the lensing is easiest to read in the stars around it.

SYMMETRY ORBIT CHAMBER

Symmetry Copy Maker

Observe
A seed point copied by rotations, reflections, inversions, and mirror axes into visible symmetry copies.
First touch
Drag the seed point, raise ORDER, then compare ORBIT, AXIS, FIXED, and TRACE lenses.
Worth watching
The useful moment is when the copies move differently while still revealing the same symmetry rule.

ELLIPTIC CURVE GROUP LAW

Elliptic Curve Group Law

Observe
A chord or tangent construction becoming an exact group operation on points of one smooth cubic.
First touch
Place P and Q, trace the chord or tangent, and compare the exact sum with the identity and inverse cases.
Worth watching
The visible curve construction is distinct from a lattice basis change: one adds points, the other changes generators.

LATTICE REDUCTION FORGE

Lattice Reduction Forge

Observe
A long pair of integer generators becoming a shorter basis while the lattice points, determinant, and fundamental area stay fixed.
First touch
Start with Fibonacci bad basis and press REDUCE BASIS once. Then inspect B′ = BU, det(U), and the Before → After length.
Worth watching
The basis description changes; the lattice does not. This is a 2D Gauss reduction model, not high-dimensional LLL or a proof tool.

PRISM DISPERSION OBSERVATORY

Prism Dispersion Observatory

Observe
Wavelength-dependent rays separating into an exit spectrum after two refractions through a prism.
First touch
Change incident angle, apex angle, and material, then APPLY or STEP through the ray calculation.
Worth watching
The spectrum is a Cauchy-model result, not a camera measurement or a physical prism reading.

SIERPINSKI TETRAHEDRON OBSERVATORY

Sierpiński Tetrahedron Observatory

Observe
A recursive tetrahedron keeping its shape while copies, scale, gaps, and volume fraction change.
First touch
Change recursion depth, rotate the view, and spread the copies to inspect each layer.
Worth watching
The volume fraction follows 4 × (1/2)^3 per layer; the 3D view is a browser model.

SPHERICAL HARMONIC SURFACE OBSERVATORY

Spherical Harmonic Surface Observatory

Observe
A spherical surface deformed by degree l and order m, with nodal lines and symmetry visible in the shape.
First touch
Change l, m, amplitude, and phase, then rotate the sphere to compare harmonic patterns.
Worth watching
Nodal lines and repeated lobes reveal symmetry without turning the surface into a physical measurement.

DISCRETE CURVATURE MESH OBSERVATORY

Discrete Curvature Mesh Observatory

Observe
Local angle defects and boundary curvature adding up to a global Gauss–Bonnet identity on a finite triangle mesh.
First touch
Change a mesh preset, drag a vertex or rotate the view, then read angle defects, boundary curvature, and the residual.
Worth watching
The residual stays near zero for this finite mesh identity; this is not a smooth-surface estimator or physical measurement.

BERRY PHASE HOLONOMY OBSERVATORY

Berry Phase Holonomy Observatory

Observe
A two-level eigenstate transported around Bloch-sphere loops, with Berry phase, solid angle, and local curvature compared.
First touch
Choose CAP, REVERSE, RETRACE, or FIGURE 8, press TRACE, then use STEP and switch bands.
Worth watching
The phase follows oriented enclosed area; reversing the band changes curvature sign while the finite gap remains visible.

MODULAR GEODESIC TESSELLATION OBSERVATORY

Modular Geodesic Tessellation Observatory

Observe
An exact PSL(2,Z) arithmetic state connecting upper-half-plane reduction, Ford circles, Farey neighbors, and continued fractions.
First touch
Choose DOMAIN, FORD, GEODESIC, or ITINERARY, then use REDUCE STEP and EXTEND to expose the same integer word.
Worth watching
Determinant-one Farey contacts and canonical continued-fraction L/R choices remain synchronized across every lens.
