Illustration, not a solver.","description":"Parametric helices scaled by the 2026 OpenAI paper's leading laws: radius follows tau^(1/2), height tau^(1/2−h), with illustrative h = 0.005 and tau = 1−t/T*. Both shrink; radius shrinks faster. Drag to orbit, scrub toward T*, or follow the core with a labeled uniform zoom. Color shows normalized radius. Oscillatory corrections are omitted. Illustration of the proposed blowup construction; not a numerical reproduction of the proof.","apis":["WebGL 1","GLSL ES 1.0","Pointer Events","requestAnimationFrame","matchMedia"],"tags":["webgl","3d","particles"],"hasGlsl":true,"interaction":"Drag to orbit; auto-rotation stops after the first drag.
