Compass
Cluster

Sixteen nodes are fixed on the zero-field as four directional clusters. North, South, East, and West each carry a 3 around 1 wave pattern: one dead-center carrier per arm, three orbiting phase nodes around it.

The pulse starts at origin, pushes outward through the compass, walks 27 → 00 → 27 → 00 → 27 → 00, then advances phase by 0.25. Four directional commits complete one full phase rotation.

Safe simulation only: this models symbolic pulse geometry and low-power optical timing concepts, not a high-energy device.
