Fields you can walk around
Physics diagrams are usually flat, and a flat diagram hides the part that matters: a field fills space. Every study here is a line drawing that behaves like a solid — orbit it, drag the sources, and the geometry recomputes from the governing equation rather than from an artist's guess.
Nothing here is animated by hand. Field lines come from integrating the field itself, orbits from stepping the equations of motion, induced EMF from differentiating a numerically computed flux.
/schrödinger's cat
A cat sealed in a box with a random quantum trigger is, on paper, alive and dead at once until someone opens it.
Schrödinger meant it as a complaint about that reading of quantum mechanics, not an endorsement — which is exactly why it works: it drags a superposition you cannot see at atomic scale up to a scene you can picture.

/reading the drawings
Line weight and opacity carry depth. Orange dashes run along the field direction. Hollow rings are probes you can drag.
/units
Constants are set to one, so readouts are ratios rather than laboratory values. The geometry and the scaling are the faithful parts.
