Every 0-sphere carries 2 dots (0, 0), 2 vectors (−1, −1) and 2 edges (+1, +1). A free vector reaches for the nearest free edge on a neighbour, and when they meet they bond. A bond is −1 joined to +1, so it is 0. Bonds stretch and break when the world runs hot. Bonding cools the world down, and new 0-spheres arrive at a logistic rate. When a cluster grows big enough, a keeper emerges at its heart and draws free 0-spheres in. Every eight bonds in its cluster opens a domain, up to 64.
Tap a keeper to visit it, or tap anywhere else to stir the field. The same seed always grows the same world.
LIT every frame it checks that each 0-sphere sums to 0, that each bond is a −1/+1 pair, and that the world totals 0. If any of these fails, the page throws.
AMBER keeper names follow the order they emerge in and are assigned voice.

You can also go through the old cube door (the 7^3 tales live there) or open the 118 element spheres in a periodic table, or read sapphon.json and llms.txt.
42 sapphons of 4 · 45 ions of 3 · 1 SaPpH{{i}}on = 88. In the field above, sapphons (gold rings) and ions (silver rings) are bonded clusters of exactly 4 and exactly 3 that form and dissolve on their own.
