Description

Rooted in the metaphysics of the Monad, Wave Monad turns the philosophy of “one source, all creation” into living generative geometry. Built on clean GLSL pixel computation and sacred phi-based nesting rules, it births orderly concentric wave orbs from a single still center. When these primal wave fields overlap and resonate, subtle moiré patterns emerge.

Usage Note

Built with native auto-motion and fully adjustable parameter controls, including optional audio analysis demonstration components. The system operates standalone with no external audio wiring required. To drive it with your own audio, route your audio signals to the corresponding parameters. All default and tested parameter ranges are documented in the DAT table.

Parameters
01Shape4
Arrangement0-100

Re-throws the whole family of circles; each step is a different arrangement and it never animates.

Circles1-8

How many circle families are alive; fractional values fade the newest one in.

Edge Growth0-2

How much heavier the rings get toward each circle's rim.

Fineness0.1-5

How fine the rings are; pushes toward the finest pitch the screen can draw, never past it.

02Look1
Ink0-10

How much ink each ring lays down; overlaps darken like overprint.

03Colour5
Keyluminous / print

Which end carries the light: ink on bright paper, or glowing lines on a dark ground.

Shadow Colourrgba

Colour of the dark side — the ink in Print, the ground in Luminous.

Light Colourrgba

Colour of the light side — the paper in Print, the lines in Luminous.

Balance0-1

Leans the mid-tones toward ink or toward paper; 0.5 is neutral.

Tint0-1

Strength of an interference film that thickens where the circles stack.

04Output1
Res256-4096

Output resolution in pixels; ships at 1280x1280.

05Motion3
