Valis f242bfa4ca docs: architecture for lattice sculpting + cellular automata 
BCC lattice coordinate system, sparse hash storage, InstancedMesh
rendering, sculpting tools (place/paint/erase/carve/fill), slice
plane for interior access, CA simulation with 14-neighbor rules.

Synthesized from volumetric-interaction-paradigms research,
immediate-feedback-programming principles, and Soma/Cell specs.

Four phases: lattice sculpting → cellular automata → polish → Cell wiring.

Glyph3D

Glyphic space in three dimensions. A polyhedral construction tool built on the truncated octahedron — the Wigner-Seitz cell of the BCC lattice and the optimal single-shape space-filling polyhedron.

Five face-compatible shapes snap together to build structures:

  • Truncated octahedron — 8 hexagonal + 6 square faces, the primary building block
  • Hexagonal prism — connects via hex faces, variable height
  • Cube — connects via square faces, edge-matched
  • Square prism — connects via square faces, variable height
  • Truncated tetrahedron — 4 hex faces mate with TO hex faces (bitruncated alternated cubic honeycomb)

Usage

Open index.html in a browser. No build step, no dependencies beyond Three.js (loaded from CDN).

Build mode — click ground to place flat, click faces to snap. Shift+click for square-face-down orientation.

Edit mode (Tab) — select, translate, rotate. F/Shift+F to orient hex/square face to ground. Scroll to push/pull. Full color picker with recoloring.

Context

This is the spatial substrate for the Cell language — a dataflow language whose computational geometry is the truncated octahedron. Glyph3D is where you build with that geometry before it computes.
