Papers you can steer

Nine interactive papers, one presenter. Each is a figure you can turn in your hands and a text that walks you through it — press P (or tap) to start the journey, click a point to ask what it is. They run here exactly as they run natively: the same domain code, the same plugins, rasterized in software.

Physics

E8 — Lisi's atlas
240 roots, one per elementary particle. The Coxeter plane, the gauge groups, the whole zoo.
8 dimensions
E10 — beyond E8
What Lisi's E8 becomes inside M-theory: a Lorentzian lattice, and the BKL billiard near the singularity.
10 dimensions

Geometry

The 24-cell
The regular 4-polytope with no analogue in three dimensions. Self-dual; its vertices are the D4 roots.
4 dimensions

Chemistry & biology

Caffeine
C₈H₁₀N₄O₂, ball and stick — the molecule you are probably running on.
3 dimensions
Structure
Any PDB or XYZ you drop on it — CPK colours, bonds from covalent radii, distances on demand. Opens with crambin.
3 dimensions

Astronomy

Star catalog
Stars in the space they occupy — parsecs, blackbody colour, the HR diagram. Opens with the 3,081 within 25 pc; drop your own catalog.
3 dimensions

Data

Network
Spectral layout, communities, centrality. Opens with Zachary's karate club; drop an edge list or GraphML.
8 dimensions
Embeddings
PCA against t-SNE on the same vectors, cosine neighbours on click. Opens with 1,797 handwritten digits.
16 dimensions
Dataset
Any CSV, any number of columns — the universal front door. Opens with Fisher's iris.
