The Tap Lattice

A 4D quilt where magnets move on conductors and the substrate learns to wire itself

16 NODES · 4 ROUNDS · 3 PHASES PER ROUND

THE LATTICE / GAN / MINESWEEPER LOOP

The 4D lattice has 3D spatial (who's near whom) + 1D temporal (who spoke when). The 4th dimension is the player — the one who chose which character to be and when to take their turn.

Every round, the substrate executes one GAN cycle: generator (line) → discriminator (response) → witness log entry. The wire-network you see is the GAN's accumulated knowledge of the room's history. The thicker the wire, the more often that pair of characters has exchanged a current.

To verify the witness log, remove observations one round at a time (right-click the canvas for the un-reveal shortcut — or just press R). The minesweeper test: can you re-derive every line from the irreducible starting state? If yes, the log is complete.
