Visual companion

How to read the visualisation

The visualisation is a live companion to RSG v1.4. It is not validation data. It is a readable map of the formal pipeline: generate histories, transport them, expose them to loss, filter weak histories, and normalise what remains.

Status Of The Canvas

The canvas is explanatory. It helps inspect the language of RSG, but the empirical claim still belongs to a locked analogue-media protocol. Treat the scene as a map of definitions and bridge ideas, not as a finished physical simulation.

First Screen Reading

Central glow

The event or recursive state being inspected: the visual stand-in for a local \sigma_n.

Coloured histories

Candidate paths \gamma_i generated through the projected transport field.

Three bodies

Live wells that bend the transport geometry and feed the exposure/loss picture.

Grid and rings

Projected geometry, effective-index guides, and observer-centred propagation cues.

Colour Keys

There are two different colour languages. The path key describes ordinary light histories. The wave key describes recursive wave-node survival.

Light paths

Blue means compressed or toward-observer. Red means stretched or away/higher-index. Violet marks torsion or twist.

Wave nodes

Green means high survival. Red means low survival. Blue still marks strong compression. Amber marks captured nodes.

Live Readouts

The right-side numbers are direct companions to the formal pages. They show survival, Shannon survival entropy, effective live histories, mode, effective loss, and whether the view is raw, filtered, or wave-based. 

Survival = mean surviving weight across sampled histories
Hsurv    = -sum_i p_i ln p_i
Nlive    = exp(Hsurv), shown as an effective live-history count
L_eff    = mean effective loss along the sampled family

Controls As Formal Knobs

Recursion depth

More generated steps. In the formal picture, this is a longer sampled history.

Curvature

Stronger reduced phase bending, analogous to increasing deformation in the projected portrait.

Effective index

Observer-centred propagation delay and redshift bookkeeping in the bridge layer.

Survival filter

Higher penalty for histories that pass through unstable or high-exposure regions.

Topology heat

Finer, more active Surtea-style partition cells and more boundary-rich support.

Closure bias

More willingness for open transport to curl, recur, thicken, or form record-like persistence.

Mode And Preset Reading

The four main modes are not four separate theories. They are four lenses on the same generated history family.

RSG

Basic generated histories, survival weighting, live wells, and represented paths.

Curvature

Transport geometry and effective-index bending are made easier to read.

Entropy

Unresolved represented histories and survival concentration are brought forward.

Topology

Surtea support, interior, boundary, closure, and class are foregrounded.

Best Use

  1. Start in RSG mode and follow one coloured history from the central event outward.
  2. Switch to filtered view and compare which histories remain represented.
  3. Open wave mode and use the wave-node key rather than the light-path key.
  4. Pause the orbit before comparing density, size, index, and survival settings.
  5. Return to the live chapters when a visual element needs formal status.
