IT³ Foundation v9
True nearest-neighbor crystal links
Core identity
(√2)² + (√3)² = (√5)²
2 + 3 = 5
Layers
Yellow = Sun / nucleus (+ soft halo)
Cube = Fundamental cell
Cyan = √2 face diagonal
Orange = √3 space diagonal
Blue points = Rigid lattice
Faint lines = True nearest-neighbor links
Rings = Discrete shells (Sₙ)
Controls
Crystal links now only connect true nearest neighbors — shorter, more regular edges that better show the crystalline structure.
