THE COSMIC WEB
2000 nodes · 3957 filaments · 2MRS Huchra+2012
light: WMAP 9-yr ILC, real sky · 73 µK rms · quantised to integers
nodes are real galaxies (2MRS, cz 500–12000 km/s, H₀=70) · three nearest joined, START=3, the same 3-start as the protofilament helix
every node is seeded by the real CMB temperature along its own line of sight — hot excites, cold is refractory, between is rest
a node is a null space and is never emitted — what you see is the light that stopped there
measured: with three states the web settles into a period-3 phase partition (≈1/3 lit); with two it collapses to period 2 (≈1/2 lit)
overlap between adjacent phases 0.000, after one full period 1.000 — the set moves completely and returns exactly. no timer; integer only
