WHAT IT DOES

A particle grid resolves mathematical nodal patterns from paired frequencies, with pointer pressure shifting phase and locally tightening the figures.

BEST FOR
  • Framed media
  • Vector studies
  • Focused product surfaces
KEY FEATURES
  • Analytic nodal equations determine every particle
  • Frequency controls produce structurally different patterns
  • Pointer phase bends the field without randomizing it
  • A component-specific renderer and control contract—not a palette swap of another release
  • Compact and full previews share one visibility-aware production renderer
PERFORMANCE

Adaptive sampling, capped DPR and visibility-based suspension keep the renderer predictable. Test density on low-power mobile hardware before increasing it.

INTERACTION

Pointer and touch coordinates are container-scoped; offscreen renderers stop work and pixel ratio is capped.

ACCESSIBILITY

The visual canvas is decorative by default. Pair it with a semantic heading or description, and reduced motion holds a stable rendered frame.

BEHAVIOR

Built to move without taking over.

  • Analytic nodal equations determine every particle
  • Frequency controls produce structurally different patterns
  • Pointer phase bends the field without randomizing it
  • A component-specific renderer and control contract—not a palette swap of another release
  • Compact and full previews share one visibility-aware production renderer

SOURCE STATUS

Portable implementation included in the verified MIT open-source package.
