sovereign-resonance-node

The telemetry HUD and planetary avatar for the MANIFOLD ecosystem.

sovereign-resonance-node serves as the omniscient telemetry layer for the MANIFOLD continuity engine. While hyperpoly-terrain calculates the field physics and trench-builder streams the open world, this node projects the ecosystem's health, Swarm coordination, and planetary-scale topological shifts (like Thermodynamic Subduction) onto a high-fidelity WebGL interface.

🌍 The Observer Philosophy

A living simulation requires a living interface. Traditional diagnostic tools are sterile graphs. The sovereign-resonance-node acts as an orbital surveyor. It connects to the MANIFOLD signaling server, pulling real-time metadata from distributed Swarm meshes, and projects that data over a WebGL planetary avatar.

When two Swarm grids collide and merge in the physics layer, this node visualizes the tectonic shockwaves.

🧠 Core Concepts

The Planetary Avatar

Instead of standard charts, simulation mass and trust variables are mapped to the visual properties (glow, displacement, chromatic aberration) of a central 3D planetary mesh.

Thermodynamic Subduction

When isolated terrains (hyperpoly-terrain instances) discover each other via WebRTC, they merge. If bounding boxes overlap, the system triggers "Subduction"—crushing excess mass into the Z-axis to form mountains. This node visualizes and audits those CRDT collisions to ensure perfect mass conservation.

Swarm Orchestration

Hooks into SwarmOrchestrator.ts to log parallel inference rates of the VoidWalkerAI.

🤝 Contribute

Are you a UI engineer who prefers cyberpunk telemetry over standard React dashboards? See CONTRIBUTING.md.

Good first issues:

• Render Thermodynamic Subduction events in the HUD
• Connect WebRTC lag-compensation metrics to UI latency alerts
• Migrate planet rendering from WebGL to WebGPU to match the engine
