Nine-Square Variations

Rights review pending. This clean-room instrument ships newly generated geometry, not a scan or traced coordinates.

Documented mechanism: Motion, expansion, contraction, mutation, and long cycles organize nine alternating units.
Interpretation: Quarter-cycle interpolation, phase offsets, easing, and trace sampling are reconstructed choices.
Supermega: Live/trace views, independent cycles, dark polarity, URL replay, and PNG export.
