PRISM: Phasic Resonance-Induced Sculpted Matter

PRISM is a speculative research project exploring the theoretical frontier of directed energy and matter regulation. Our goal is to outline a design for a handheld device capable of generating a spatially-limited, contained plasma blade for precision cutting applications.

This project is a work of creative, hypothetical science, grounded in established principles but not afraid to take imaginative leaps. We acknowledge that our models may contain errors or overlook practical limitations; the purpose of this repository is to invite collaboration and rigorous critique to refine these early concepts.

Core Concept

The foundational science of PRISM is the fusion of two advanced disciplines:

1. Metamaterial EM Engineering: The use of programmable, artificial surfaces to sculpt electromagnetic fields with unprecedented precision.
2. State-Dependent Geometric Algebra: A new mathematical formulation where quinary logic dictates geometric transformations on EM fields, providing a framework for robust regulation and inherent safety.

We welcome contributions, discussions, and challenges to the ideas presented here.

The Logo's Symbolism

The logo visually represents the core function of PRISM:

1. The Grid (Metamaterial Engineering): A grid of faint, ordered dots on the left represents the programmable metamaterial surface. It is the source of control, the "cause."
2. The Prism (Geometric Algebra): A central, dark prism represents the mathematical and logical framework of State-Dependent Geometric Algebra. It is the "lens" through which the fields are processed, focused, and regulated.
3. The Beam (Sculpted Matter): Unfocused waves enter the prism, and a single, coherent, brilliant blue beam emerges. This represents the final output—the precisely "sculpted matter" or plasma blade.

The entire logo is a clean, non-trivial diagram of the system's process: Control → Regulation → Action.
