1. Pick a tool. Open the menu and choose one from Tool.
2. Draw on the grid. Right-click erases a cell.
3. Press Start. Move the sliders while it runs to see the field respond.
4. Step back. Reverse walks back through the previous pulses.
5. Keep what you made. Save Pattern downloads it; Upload Pattern loads it back.
6. Watch for novas. Each one is recorded in Nova Data, under your name when you are signed in.

Simulation rules

Pulse propagation

A cell changes state from its neighbours and the potential it has built up.

Neighbour count

Enough active neighbours push a cell past its threshold.

Fold threshold

Large clusters collapse into new forms.

Pulse length

How long a pulse lasts before it fades.

Potential and decay

Potential rises and falls over time; crossing the limit can flip a cell.

Collapse events

When the energy climbs too high, the field wipes and starts again.

Binary Pulse Theory

• Each cell is a tiny pulse flickering between 0 and 1.
• Stable shapes behave like molecules; unstable ones make turbulence.
• Waves, shells and explosions all come from these same steps.
