OBSERVATION CHAMBER / ACTIVE

Renormalization Flow Observatory

Block-spin coarse-grain a 2D Ising-like lattice and observe magnetization, correlations, and effective-coupling flow across scale.

ROUTE 72 / GROWTH / SCALE FLOW

BLOCK-SPIN / METROPOLIS

A spin field moving between scales

Coarse-grain the same periodic lattice with R₂ majority blocks. Read magnetization, correlation, and an effective-coupling proxy as the field flows toward an ordered, disordered, or critical basin.

PAUSED

The large field is the selected scale. The lower ladder shows 1×→64× block-spin images; the flow map compares |m|, C1, and fixed-point proximity.

Interpretation
Small d and PFP near 1 indicate a fixed-point proximity proxy across adjacent scales. They do not claim an exact infinite-lattice fixed point.

C1 and C2 use periodic horizontal and vertical pairs. G1 subtracts the disconnected magnetization background; Keff is intentionally labelled a proxy.

OBSERVATION CONTRACT

Scale flow, not a heat animation

The primary object is a 64×64 spin field and its R₂ block-spin ladder. Metropolis samples the local Ising-like energy at fixed K; coarse graining maps four parent spins to one child. The numeric path across scale is the observation.

WHAT TO WATCH

Three basin signatures

  • HOT tends toward a disordered basin: small |m| and weak C1.
  • COLD tends toward an ordered basin: large |m| and strong C1.
  • CRITICAL keeps the reference Kc visible while d(flow), G1, and PFP expose scale sensitivity.

MODEL NOTE

Finite periodic block-spin model

H = −JΣ⟨ij⟩sᵢsⱼ, p(flip)=min(1,e⁻ᴷΔE), R₂: {s₁,s₂,s₃,s₄}→sign majority

The 2D reference is Kc = ½ ln(1+√2), Tc/J = 1/Kc. Keff and fixed-point proximity are bounded browser proxies.

PLAY caps at 12 sweeps/s; each sweep attempts 4096 sites and redraws only after state changes.

Formula note

m = N⁻¹Σᵢsᵢ, C₁ = (2N)⁻¹Σᵢ(sᵢsᵢ₊ₓ+sᵢsᵢ₊ᵧ), C₂ uses distance two, G₁ = C₁−m², and Keff = atanh(clamp(C₁,−0.999999,0.999999)). The flow distance is a finite normalized Euclidean distance between adjacent metric rows.

OBSERVATION GUIDE

Touchpoints for observation

Start at CRITICAL and compare the large field with the seven-card R₂ ladder. Then press STEP and read how the same observables move with scale.

  • Choose HOT or COLD to compare disordered and ordered basin signatures.
  • Use the SCALE range or COARSE GRAIN to inspect 1×, 2×, 4×, 8×, 16×, 32×, and 64×.
  • Use REPORT or PNG for the current screen. Reduced-motion keeps PLAY stopped and leaves STEP available.

This is a finite Ising-like numerical model, not a full Monte Carlo sampler, an exact RG calculation, or a physical temperature measurement.

Runs inside the browser with no upload and no registration.

OBSERVATION POLICY

This chamber runs a deterministic 64×64 Ising-like lattice in your browser. Metropolis updates, block-spin coarse graining, calculations, reports, and images stay local. It does not measure visitors, devices, or physical matter.
