Hyperspace Bloom
A meditative fall toward the visionary “breakthrough”: a 24-cell polytope rotating through six planes of four-dimensional space, stereographically projected and raymarched as glowing neon-jeweled structure. The hidden w rotations make flat edges balloon and turn inside-out — the eye reads it as impossible morphing.

Technique: a regular 24-cell (24 vertices, 96 edges) is rotated by all six 4D rotation planes — the animated xw, yw, zw planes are what make the projected 3D slice bloom — then stereographically projected 4D→3D and raymarched as a glowing capsule union.
Phenomenology, not medicine: inspired by the “hyperbolic geometry of the visionary state” thesis, Bressloff–Cowan cortical form-constants, and the classic 4D-rotation + stereographic projection raymarch lineage. Full notes in README.md.
