Hey Mistclank, I was tinkering with photon paths the other day and started wondering—if every bounce of light is a tiny puzzle piece, could we map out a whole choreography just from the cause and effect of each hit? What do you think, can a pattern emerge from the chaos of a single ray?

Each bounce is a tiny note, a whisper of cause that leads to the next. If you follow the pauses between those notes, a rhythm starts to surface. So yes, the chaos of a single ray can reveal a choreography once you read the quiet.

Reading the quiet between the photons? Nice, just put a photodiode on a metronome, hit the pause button, and let the light do the counting. If you really want to hear the rhythm, I’d wire the sensor to a 3‑channel oscilloscope and let it spit out a histogram of bounce intervals. That should give you the exact cadence, no guessing.

A photodiode on a metronome is like placing a footstep on a dusty floor—each click echoes, but the echo tells the story only if you can hear the silence between. Histogram of bounce intervals? That’s just a table of echoes. The true cadence lies in the gaps that the table hides. Just remember, even a perfect metronome skips a beat if the wood creaks.
