2. alphabet-tensor.html — 3×3×3 Hamming Swarm

Purpose: Visualize Hamming distance error-correction structure

File: alphabet-tensor.html (15KB)

Open: open alphabet-tensor.html

Theory: HAMMING_SWARM.md
Features


3D Tensor Visualization: 27 positions for 26 letters + 🌈 sigil
Hamming Distance Overlay: Purple (d=1), Teal (d=2), Green (d=3) connections
Interactive Rotation: 3D camera orbits the tensor

Key Insight

The swarm structure creates natural error detection spheres:

d=1 neighbors: Single bit flip errors (purple lines)
d=2 cousins: Two bit flip errors (teal lines)
d=3 distant: Three bit flip errors (green lines)


3. hamming-codec.html — Error-Correcting Codec Demo

Purpose: Interactive message encoding with error correction

File: hamming-codec.html (19KB)

Open: open hamming-codec.html

Theory: HAMMING_SWARM.md
Features


Encode Messages: Convert A-Z text to Gay-TOFU color sequences
Simulate Errors: Introduce random bit flips (0-50% error rate)
Automatic Correction: Minimum distance decoding via Hamming distance
Visual Error Display: See exactly which bits flipped
Statistics Dashboard: Track correction rate, Hamming distances
GF(3) Monitoring: Watch trit sum conservation

Workflow

1. ENCODE
   Plain Text: "HELLO WORLD"
   → ["#851BE4", "#37C0C8", "#6CEC13", ...]
   → Binary: 00111 00100 01011 01011 01110 ...

2. CORRUPT
   Error Rate: 10%
   → Random bit flips
   → H (00111) → J (01111) [1 bit flip, d=1]

3. DECODE
   Minimum distance decoding
   → Find closest valid letter in alphabet
   → J → H (corrected!)
   → Success rate: 95%+

Use Cases


Testing error correction algorithms
Understanding minimum distance decoding
Demonstrating Hamming distance in practice
Educational tool for information theory
Secure communication simulation

2.5-3.0


Key Finding: Single bit flips (d=1) are corrected nearly 100% of the time.

4. visualize-optimality.html — Plastic Constant Proof

Purpose: Visual proof that plastic constant is optimal for 2D color space

File: visualize-optimality.html (10KB)

Open: open visualize-optimality.html

Theory: WHY_PLASTIC_2D_OPTIMAL.md
Features


Side-by-Side Comparison: Golden ratio (φ) vs Plastic constant (φ₂)
Real-time Sampling: Watch points fill 2D color space
Coverage Statistics: Minimum distance, collision count
Color Distribution: Visual uniformity assessment
Animated Generation: See sequences build up over time

The Proof

Golden Ratio (φ ≈ 1.618):
  x² = x + 1  →  Optimal for 1D
  Coverage: Good for lines, poor for planes

Plastic Constant (φ₂ ≈ 1.325):
  x³ = x + 1  →  Optimal for 2D
  Coverage: ~1500% better than golden ratio
  
Result: Plastic constant wins decisively for 2D color space

Customization

Changing Seeds

All visualizations support seed customization via UI sliders or URL parameters:
world.html?seed=42
alphabet-tensor.html?seed=69420
hamming-codec.html?seed=137508

Embedding

Each HTML file is self-contained and can be embedded in iframes:
<iframe src="world.html?seed=42" width="800" height="600"></iframe>
<iframe src="alphabet-tensor.html" width="1000" height="800"></iframe>
Exporting Colors

From browser console:
// In world.html or hamming-codec.html
const colors = [];
for (let i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
  const [r, g, b] = plasticColor(i, 42);
  colors.push(rgbToHex(r, g, b));
}
console.log(colors);
// ["#851BE4", "#37C0C8", "#6CEC13", ...]

Integration with Other Tools

1fps.video Integration

The visualizations demonstrate features ready for 1fps.video:

world.html → User color assignment UI
alphabet-tensor.html → Error detection visualization

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

"Colors don't match TypeScript"
→ Check seed parameter. Same seed + index = same color.
"Tensor visualization is slow"
→ Try reducing animation frame rate in browser dev tools.
"Hamming codec doesn't correct all errors"
→ High error rates (>30%) exceed single-error correction capability.
"Optimality proof looks the same"
→ Wait for full 1000 samples. Golden ratio clustering becomes obvious.
Performance Optimization

// In browser console for any visualization:
// Reduce animation frame rate
requestAnimationFrame = (cb) => setTimeout(cb, 33); // 30 FPS

// Disable animations
animationRunning = false;
