Glossary

Key terms and concepts in the MootFlip universe

Chirality

The "handedness" property of patterns that determines how they interact with the game environment and opposing patterns.

Energy

The fundamental resource used to activate and maintain patterns.

Entanglement

A quantum relationship between separate pattern components that causes them to behave as a unified system.

Evolution

The process by which patterns change over time based on their properties and interactions.

Golay Code

A mathematical error-correcting code used in the game's bluffing mechanics.

Lattice

The hexagonal grid structure of the game board, wrapped onto a torus.

Leech Lattice

A 24-dimensional mathematical structure whose properties influence pattern interactions.

Phase

An angular value (0-2π) that determines how patterns interfere with each other.

Pattern

A connected set of activated cells with specific properties.

Quantum Tunneling

The ability for patterns to bypass barriers under specific conditions.

Resonance

A harmonious relationship between patterns that enhances their effects.

Time Crystal

A structure that exhibits temporal periodicity while breaking time-translation symmetry.

Torus

The donut-shaped topology of the game board that allows patterns to wrap around edges.
