lissajoverse

The observable universe as a lissajous graph — a retro oscilloscope reborn with the constellation's surfaces on top: a weave of curves, a graph drawn from sound, a NOT-NAND grammar, and The Known Universe riding the beam.

the modes

Scope

Mic · output · sine · sawtooth · noise — phosphor decay, trigger, REC, the faithful OSC-9000 chassis.

Lissajous

fx:fy weaves a closed curve when the ratio is rational. Fibonacci ratios 1:1 → 34:55, up to seven traces, seeded phase drift, an organic feedback loop.

Universe

The atlas as a graph — vault · fleet · cosmos · logic rings on a seeded starfield, edges as lissajous chords, degree + closeness readouts.

NAND

The same graph re-woven by the ternary NOT-NAND grammar; everything is NAND, the graph is its truth table.

Known Universe

The AMNH film × Zimmer's Time (We Plants Are Happy Plants remix); the scope keeps weaving behind it.

Feedback

Carry each frame forward, zoomed and rotated, added back with lighter — the phosphor kaleidoscope. Default 0; the faithful scope.

lineage

Oscilloscope music — Jerobeam Fenderson, Spirals (Oscilloscope Music), where a stereo signal is the drawing: L→X, R→Y.
The hardware — the Ultra-Simple Oscilloscope, and the Tektronix 5103N the album was filmed from.
The shelf — the diatribe papers; the wiki, crawled with robots.txt respect.
The instruments above — AMNH Hayden Planetarium · Digital Universe Atlas · Uniview (SCISS).
The turn — {−1, 0, +1}: the curve is the line; the graph is the observable; the beam is the witness.
