Polynomials & Primes

✨ What it does:

  • Each prime spawns a pulsing wave, its rhythm scaled by Euler’s totient function φ(n).
  • Primes are arranged using the golden angle (137.5°), forming a sunflower-like spread.
  • Colors shift over time to show resonance phases.
  • You see pulsing rings like a cymatic field — the primes “sing” in harmony.

This interactive visualization shows how polynomial families evolve from Quadratic through to the Septic fold. Each degree forms a constellation of curves and nodes, rotating in color-shifting harmony. As the sequence progresses, the structures grow more intricate, with subtle chords suggesting hidden Galois symmetries. By the time it reaches degree 7, the shapes begin to strain and fold into new patterns—hinting at the deep thresholds of solvability and the beauty of mathematical symmetry at its limits.

🧠 Symbolic Copilot

This simulation shows a rotating mathematical sphere where algebra and prime numbers meet. The swirling streaks come from a polynomial gradient function mapped onto the sphere, creating currents like winds around a globe. At special points tied to prime numbers, the patterns light up more brightly—turning the hidden structure of primes into visible energy nodes. It’s a way of watching how deep mathematics can shape flow, rhythm, and symmetry in a living, cosmic form.
