What Is It?
This experiment places mobile geared bodies inside a bounded integer 3D field slab. Each body carries position, burden, inertia and a six-channel register: one axial channel, one precession channel and four centred body channels. This is the CAELIX 1:1:4 body-register model in browser form.
The rendered gyroballs are glyphs for the internal register. They are not the physical defect size. Core radius, stamp radius, draw radius and measurement-shell radius are separate quantities. Contact radius is derived from the draw radius, while the field response is measured elsewhere.
What It Tests
The primary question is whether full 1:1:4 coupling produces interaction signatures that remain separable from the controls. The experiment compares passive behaviour, unguided x:x:x behaviour, axial coupling, axial-plus-precession coupling and full 1:1:4 coupling.
The test matrix also changes object count and field depth. Fixed sets of 1, 2, 4 and 9 bodies are available, along with seeded random sets. Field depth can be set to z = 1, 3, 7 or 11. If full coupling is indistinguishable from axial or off modes, the register is not yet doing useful work. That is the falsifier, plain and useful.
How It Works
Each body stamps burden and a phase-modulated source pattern into the bounded integer field. The field evolves through a local six-neighbour Laplacian with bounded balanced-ternary discipline, damping, source injection and hidden-band drain.
The field and clamp response feed back into gear loads. Axial, precession and body-channel projections are measured on a shell around each object. Persistent load can promote or damp the centred trit register values, while contact events can transfer register slip into field kickback and contact momentum.
Soft contact is deliberately not elastic billiards. It includes register transfer, contact momentum, field kickback and gear-slip effects. Compatible gears can reduce contact repulsion or create weak binding, depending on the selected coupling mode and the live register phases.
What Is Not Hard-Coded
- No inverse-square gravity is used.
- No periodic wrap is used.
- No black-hole closure-shell forcing is used.
- The gyroball glyph is not treated as the physical field object.
- Per-voxel gearing is not implemented in this browser version.
The experiment is a body-level geared-register lab coupled to a voxel field. It tests separability, contact transfer and depth survival, not a finished particle ontology.
Why It Matters
Voxel gearing is one of the stronger bridges between CAELIX geometry and CAELIX dynamics. It gives a burdened body more than a position and a scalar mass-like term. The body has an internal rotational register that can load, slip, transfer and respond to field structure.
The value of the experiment is not that the 1:1:4 register is assumed to be correct. The value is that it can fail visibly. If depth, object count and coupling mode do not produce separable signatures, the model has not earned its keep. If they do, the register becomes a candidate mechanism for more serious SE/PE body interaction work.
