About Quantum Lattice

Quantum Lattice constructs a three-dimensional grid of interconnected nodes that vibrate, resonate, and exchange energy in response to your music. Each node in the lattice is a glowing sphere connected to its neighbors by energy conduits. When audio energy hits a frequency band, the corresponding nodes activate and send energy pulses along their connections to neighboring nodes, creating cascading wave patterns through the lattice structure. The lattice can be configured in different crystal structures: simple cubic, body-centered cubic, face-centered cubic, or diamond cubic. Each arrangement produces distinct visual patterns when audio waves propagate through it. The propagation speed, damping, and coupling strength are all audio-reactive, creating a system where the lattice's physical behavior evolves with the music. Quantum Lattice combines the orderly beauty of crystal geometry with the dynamic energy of wave propagation. The result looks like peering into the atomic structure of a material as sound waves pass through it -- a visualization that is simultaneously scientifically evocative and artistically compelling. The regular grid structure provides a sense of order that makes the audio-driven perturbations more visible and impactful.

How it works

Nodes are positioned on a 3D lattice grid (configurable crystal structure) and connected by edges to their structural neighbors. A wave propagation simulation runs on the lattice: each node has an energy value that diffuses to neighbors at a rate controlled by audio-reactive coupling parameters. Energy is injected into specific nodes based on frequency band mapping (bass at center, treble at edges, or spatially distributed). Nodes are rendered as instanced sphere meshes with emissive intensity proportional to energy, and edges are rendered as instanced cylinders with opacity proportional to energy flux between connected nodes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What crystal structures are available?+
Simple cubic, body-centered cubic (BCC), face-centered cubic (FCC), and diamond cubic are available. Each produces different visual patterns for wave propagation and different connection geometries.
How large is the lattice?+
The default is an 8x8x8 grid (512 nodes). You can scale from 4x4x4 (64 nodes) to 12x12x12 (1,728 nodes). Larger lattices show more detailed wave propagation but require more GPU power.
Can I rotate the lattice view?+
The camera slowly orbits the lattice by default, with rotation speed tied to audio energy. You can also lock the camera to specific angles that best showcase the crystal structure you have selected.
