New: an explorable 3D lattice model

dcl-lattice-viewer v0.1.0 turns A=1 lattice state into browser-explorable 3D models — and the first one is now live on the site, a rotatable lattice you can drag, zoom, and pan in place.

There is now a live, explorable 3D lattice model on the site: Explorable lattice — interactive 3D viewer. Drag to rotate, scroll to zoom, pan, and reset — the lattice renders in the page, no download required.

It is produced by a new tool, dcl-lattice-viewer v0.1.0, the downstream visualization companion to the dcl-core engine. The tool reads the .npy / .npz token-and-phase fields that dcl-core experiments write and emits two things:

• a .glb you can drop into a <model-viewer> (which is exactly how the model on the artifact page is embedded), and
• a self-contained interactive three.js .html — orbit, zoom, pan, and, for a time series, scrub through ticks.

The model now on the site uses parity coloring, so the bipartite structure is visible directly: the RGB (even) sublattice is warm, the CMY (odd) sublattice is cool, and the interleaved cubes are the two interpenetrating sublattices the whole framework rests on. (The tool also offers a full phase color-wheel and a token-count ramp.)

You can run it yourself with no engine run required:

pip install "dcl_lattice_viewer[glb] @ git+https://github.com/JackDMenendez/dcl-lattice-viewer@v0.1.0"
dcl-lattice-viewer demo -o lattice --color parity
