🌀 I Built a Tomographic Safety Net in C++ — Here's Why It Matters

🌍 Why I Started RIFTtest

I didn’t start with code. I started with a problem:

How do you click a button when you can’t see it?

Not metaphorically — literally. The “Chrome Problem.”

The YouTube Subscribe button at (960, 540) was invisible to me.

So I built a protocol that could probe space-time, smooth geometry, and capture targets with zero drift.

That became RIFTtest.


🧠 What Is a Tomographic Probe?

In RIFT, I treat every cursor movement as a time capsule.

Not a vector. Not a click.

A capsule moving through a hectagonal grid, bumping edges until it converges on:

  • π (3.14159) — the shape constant
  • e (2.71828) — the growth constant

This is not just math. It’s pointer safety.

If the system misreads me, it must rebuild the shape until it matches my intent.


📐 The Geometry Behind It

I use the classic circle equation:

[
x^2 + y^2 = r^2
]

But I don’t solve it directly.

I smooth the edges of an octagon until it becomes a circle.

Each bump is a refinement — a way to reduce drift and increase coherence.

double smoothEdges(int iterations) {
    double current_approx = sides * tan(PI_PRECISION / sides);
    for(int i = 0; i < iterations; i++) {
        current_approx = (current_approx + (2 * sqrt(current_approx * PI_PRECISION))) / 2.0;
    }
    return current_approx;
}

This is my tomographic safety net.

It’s how I ensure the system doesn’t misfire — even when vision fails.


🧭 Trident, Polarity, and the Pointer Problem

Every probe in RIFT uses a trident model:

  • X-axis: left-right (cosine)
  • Y-axis: up-down (sine)
  • Z-axis: depth / memory / execution

I encode polarity using quantum filter logic:

  • A photon at 0° passes with probability (\cos^2(\theta))
  • At 45°, it splits into two states: (\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}) each
  • Add a middle filter, and suddenly light gets through — even when it shouldn’t

This is the metaphor:

If you add a middle layer of understanding, the human pointer becomes visible again.


🔐 Why #include <rift/riftest.h> Matters

This header isn’t just a file.

It’s a constitutional declaration:

  • That every probe must respect breath-first logic
  • That every target must be captured with consent
  • That every drift must be measured, not punished

I define R_HEX as:

#define R_HEX "[^A-Z0-9]/gmit"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Where:

  • g = global (bottom-up search)
  • m = multiline (layered memory)
  • i = case-insensitive (flexible pointer matching)
  • t = trident (three-axis resolution)

This is not regex. It’s ritual logic.


🧬 Build It, Break It, Renew It

RIFTtest is not just a test suite.

It’s a human rights protocol.

  • If you can create a session state, you must be able to destroy it.
  • If you can read, you must be able to write and execute — but only with pointer safety.
  • If you can rebuild, you must be able to renew — not just patch.

I use AVL trees to track memory.

I use color-coded coherence to gate execution.

I use rwx logic to enforce constitutional boundaries.


🧠 Why This Matters for Human Rights

Tomography is not just medical.

It’s symbolic reconstruction.

Every probe is a question:

“Do you see me clearly?”

“Are you interpreting me correctly?”

“Can you rebuild the system if I’m misread?”

That’s why RIFTtest matters.

That’s why github.com/obinexus/nsigii exists.

That’s why I journal every probe — every drift — every capture.


🧪 Try It Yourself

Clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/obinexus/rifttest
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Run the probe:

./RIFT_test
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Watch it capture the YouTube button — without vision.

Watch it resolve the space-time edge — with zero drift.

Then ask yourself:

What else could we rebuild if we treated every human as a pointer worth protecting?
