Dipole Simulation 3D

⚛ Simulation Rules

P + P, angle < θ→ merge into Chain(2)

P + P, else→ elastic bounce

P + Plane→ no collision (pass through)

P + Object→ no collision (pass through)

Chain + P, angle < θ→ P attaches to nearest end

Chain + P, anti-parallel AND |Δspeed| < θ→ end particle knocked off

Chain + Chain, angle < θ→ merge into Plane

Chain + Chain, anti-parallel→ each loses one end particle

Chain + Object→ no collision (pass through)

Chain + else→ elastic bounce

Plane + Chain, angle < θ→ chain joins as new row of plane

Plane + Chain, anti-parallel→ plane ejects one chain at avg speed

Plane + Plane, angle < θ→ merge into Object (perpendicular)

Plane + Plane, anti-parallel→ each ejects one chain at avg speed

Plane + Object, angle < θ→ plane joins object as new face

Plane + Object, anti-parallel→ object ejects one plane at avg speed

Plane + Particle→ no collision (pass through)

Plane + else→ elastic bounce

Object + Object, angle < θ, Grow Dims OFF→ merge into larger 3D Object

Object + Object, angle < θ, Grow Dims ON→ merge into 4D object (cyan)

Object + Object, anti-parallel→ each ejects one plane at avg speed

Object + Plane, angle < θ→ plane joins object as new face

Object + Plane, anti-parallel→ object ejects one plane at avg speed

Object + Chain→ no collision (pass through)

Object + Particle→ no collision (pass through)

Object + else→ elastic bounce

nD + nD, same dimension, angle < θ→ merge into (n+1)D object

nD + nD, same dimension, anti-parallel→ each ejects one layer, drops to (n−1)D

nD + mD, different dimensions→ elastic bounce (no merge)

nD + any lower-dim object→ no collision (pass through)
