Silhouette Generation

Reveal the topological shape (clusters, loops, voids) hiding inside puzzle generation so designers read structure at a glance.

The hook.

full primer โ†’

Puzzle generation gets fed into a quantum shape-finder; game designers see clusters, loops, and gaps drawn on top of their work instead of having to spot structure by eye.

Why this primitiveQTDA is the right primitive here because puzzle generation reduces to a shape of data problem; the kernel returns a result you can drop straight into the UI.

Kernel
a Quantum Topological Data Analysis pipeline returning Betti numbers (b0, b1, b2) from a Vietoris-Rips filtration
Drives the UI as
a 'shape signature' visualization with connected-component, loop, and void counts
