4D Wave Control Simulation
Welcome to the 4D Wave Control tool, developed by the Qualia Research Institute. This simulation is designed to help you develop an intuition for 4D rotations and matrix transformations, which may be an important stepping stone in exploring higher-dimensional states of consciousness.
What you see is a 4D cubic lattice projected into 3D space. Each point in the lattice represents a 4D vector, with its color indicating its position along the fourth dimension.
Key features of this tool:
Visualize 4D rotations and matrix transformations
Develop intuition for linear algebra concepts like matrix multiplication, projective transformations, and interpolation
Explore concepts such as vector spaces, linear combinations, and rank dimensionality
How to use the controls:
Matrix 1 & 2: Adjust these to change the initial and final transformations
Interpolation slider: Blend between Matrix 1 and Matrix 2
4D Rotations: Start/stop rotations in the XY and ZW planes
Speed sliders: Adjust the rotation speeds
Export/Import: Save and load your configurations using JSON
Reset to Default: Restore all parameters to their default values, including colors
Interacting with the visualization:
Click and drag to rotate the view
Scroll to zoom in and out
Experiment with different matrix values to see various transformations
Tips for exploration:
Start with small changes to the matrices to understand their effects
Try setting both XY and ZW rotation speeds between 0.1 and 0.3 for interesting patterns
Play with the interpolation slider to see how one matrix transformation morphs into another
Consider putting on some music and spending extended time (15+ minutes) observing the rotations to train your visual intuition
This tool can help you understand various principles in linear algebra, from basic concepts like matrix multiplication to more advanced topics like eigen values and determinants. Enjoy exploring the fascinating world of 4D rotations!
