tuning (dev only)

start temperature

How hot the lattice starts, before any cooling begins — higher makes the opening noise look more scrambled and less clustered.

cooling floor temperature

The coolest the lattice gets on its way down, before the hold and the reveal — lower gives tighter, calmer clusters more time to settle during the dwell.

hold length (before reveal)

How much of the anneal passes at a steady, held temperature before the wordmark starts pulling itself together. This is when the field turns on in the underlying physics, not just a visual cue — reveal start/width below only make sense relative to it.

field ramp width

How gradually the letterform's pull strengthens after hold length above ends — small snaps to full strength almost immediately, large lets it build slowly across more of the remaining anneal.

field strength

How hard the field pulls lattice cells into the wordmark's shape once it's active — higher makes the letters assert themselves faster and more forcefully over whatever pattern already formed.

annealing plateau temperature

How much thermal noise remains once the field is pulling cells into letters — higher keeps the reveal looking lively and textured instead of freezing into flat, static shapes.

sweeps per scroll (total sweeps)

How many simulation steps the whole scroll covers — more steps means each point of scroll shows a finer-grained slice of the process, including the reveal itself.

reveal band start (scroll)

Where in the scroll (0 = top, 1 = bottom) the reveal band begins — together with reveal band width below, this sets the stretch of scrolling during which the wordmark actually appears.

reveal band width (scroll)

How much scroll distance the reveal band spans, starting at reveal band start above — narrow snaps the wordmark into place quickly, wide spreads it into a slower, more gradual materialization.

final segment easing power

How sharply the very last bit of scroll decelerates into its final position — 1 is a straight line with no easing; higher values slow down more as they approach the end.

free-run threshold (scroll)

How far down the scroll before the simulation stops replaying deterministically and starts free-running instead (continuing to sweep at the final temperature and field, so pixels keep churning while the letters hold). Scrolling back up above this line returns to deterministic replay.
