SYSTEM NOTE
Order grows from a small nucleus.
This chamber is a visual approximation of nucleation, growth fronts, defects, and annealing. It is not a rigorous materials simulation.
OBSERVATION CHAMBER / MVP
Crystal Growth Furnace
Seed a crystal, cool the field, and watch fronts, defects, and impurities grow.

Prototype
CRYSTAL GROWTH FURNACE
Seed a supersaturated field, cool the lattice, add impurities, and watch ordered crystal fronts carry defects through growth history.
First observation
Use COOL to encourage attachment, SEED or click the field to add nuclei, then switch DEFECT or FRONT to read the growth history.

OBSERVATION POINTS
Front, defect, order.
- SEED and canvas clicks create new nucleation points.
- COOL increases attachment while WARM slows the front.
- IMPURITY bends growth and leaves defect marks; ANNEAL reduces visible defects.
- Unlike DLA walkers or phase-state melting, this model focuses on ordered lattice growth and defect history.
SYSTEM NOTE
N_t(x,y) = sum C_t(neighbor). P_attach = clamp(aN_t + b saturation + c anisotropy - d impurity - q temperature, 0, 1). Empty cells near crystal attach when random() < P_attach.
OBSERVATION GUIDE
Touchpoints for Observation
Observe ordered crystal cells growing from nucleation seeds, with active fronts, defects, and annealed regions.
- Use SEED or canvas clicks to add nuclei, COOL or WARM to tune attachment, IMPURITY to add defects, and ANNEAL to relax them.
- FRONT shows where the structure can grow next.
- DEFECT shows how impurities leave memory inside the ordered lattice.
This is a visual crystal-growth approximation, not a rigorous materials simulation.
