The Butterfly Lab / Newton 1.6

0.05° apart.
Worlds apart.

Twelve double pendulums. Almost the same release. Entirely different paths. Turn a recorded physics experiment into a motion sculpture you can explore.

Paused at the largest recorded separation. Replay to see how it began.

01 / A SMALL PERTURBATION

Same setup. Different release.

Newton advances 12 isolated worlds on CPU. Two 1.6 m links per world, identical gravity, zero initial velocity. Only the starting angle changes.

samples per world, including the initial state. No policy or model call.

02 / A SCULPTURE OF TIME

Walk around the experiment.

Motion overlay puts the recorded paths on the same axes. Time sculpture spreads samples along a depth axis: depth represents time, not physical travel. Trails end at the selected sample.

Drag sideways or use the camera buttons. Step, scrub or share the exact sample and world.

03 / AN EDITABLE SCENE

Take the motion into Blender.

Import scene.usdc and set Blender to 30 fps. The 24 animated links retain every source pose. World groups are spaced along Y for viewing.
