# Satellite Mandala

A kinetic satellite mandala: a faceted low-poly core that never changes, ringed by thirty-two satellites on a Fibonacci shell that each change species on their own schedule. Each is one orb, spoke and needle under six interpolated numbers, so it morphs by deforming, not cross-fading, through four forms: heavy orb, spiked orb, barbed spike, needle node. Bass swells the shell into orbs, treble draws it out to needles. Rests as the spiked orb.
