when they are built in real 3D space: the Fruit of Life as a rotated cubic sphere
packing, the Platonic solids nested inside it with their vertices on the circle
centres, the torus as a field of winding strands, and so on. Every page is an
interactive scene with orbit controls and a lil-gui panel for playing with the

## Design
The landing page palette (deep warm gradient, orange `#f44f04`, cream `#f5e9de`)
is used 1:1 in the scenes: the canvases are transparent, so the CSS gradient is
the scenery background. The shadow wall is invisible; each shape projects a
light orange outline onto it. Dark/light theme toggle in the nav, persisted in
localStorage.
Page navigations fly the shapes out past the camera, crossfade documents via
the View Transitions API (Chromium; graceful cut elsewhere), and fly the next
page's shapes in from the distance.
## Development
Built with [Vite](https://vite.dev/) as a multi-page app.
```sh
npm install
npm start # dev server with hot reload
npm start # dev server
npm run build # production build into build/
npm run preview # serve the production build
```
Each page is its own webpack entry; the page list lives at the top of
`webpack.config.js`. To add a new exploration, add `src/<name>.js` (the shared
scene setup is in `src/lib/stage.js`) and one line to the `pages` array.
Every page shares the chrome in `src/lib/chrome.js`: fade transitions between
pages and a dark/light toggle (bottom right, persisted in localStorage). Dark
mode matches the landing page; light mode is the original orange room.
Each exploration is a `src/<name>.html` + `src/<name>.js` pair; register new
pages in the `pages` list in `vite.config.js`. Shared code lives in `src/lib/`:
`stage.js` (scene/camera/lights/wall/controls), `theme.js` (palette),
`transit.js` (fly in/out), `chrome.js` (nav, theme toggle, transitions),
`edgeTubes.js` (line-thickness helpers).
