Slice³

Explore 2D slices of the 3-sphere (S³) with interactive, SVG-based visualization.

A project of Hyxos Media, and a core module in the Shard³ ecosystem.

---

Overview

Slice³ is an open-source tool for visualizing and exploring 2D cross-sections (“slices”) of the 3-sphere (S³). Built with Next.js, TypeScript, and SVG, Slice³ provides an interactive platform for mathematicians, educators, and creators interested in higher-dimensional geometry.

Features

• Render and explore 2D projections of S³ using SVG
• All visual styling is embedded inline—no CSS dependencies
• Responsive, interactive web interface (Next.js, TypeScript)
• Modular architecture ready for integration with Rust/WASM computation
• Download and export SVG slices (PNG export planned)
• Extensible foundation for advanced features and future Shard³ modules

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v18+ recommended)
• Yarn or npm

Installation

git clone https://github.com/hyxos/slice3.git
cd slice3
yarn install   # or npm install

Running Locally

yarn dev    # or npm run dev

The app will be available at http://localhost:3000.

Usage

• Launch the app and explore the default S³ slice.
• Use UI controls to modify, rotate, or change the projection (more features coming soon).
• Download SVG output for use in publications, teaching, or further analysis.

Roadmap

• Integrate Rust/WASM computation for advanced projections
• Add PNG export (via svg2png-wasm-rs)
• Enable user authentication and session saving (Supabase)
• Expand interactive controls and visualization options
• Documentation and video walkthrough
